Know exactly what matters.** Get a morning briefing with overdue tasks, today's priorities, and context from recent work. No setup. Just say "briefing". --- ## ⚠️ CRITICAL: BRIEFING FORMAT (READ FIRST) **When the user asks for a briefing, you MUST respond with this EXACT format:** ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☀️ DAILY BRIEFING — [Day], [Month] [Date], [Year] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ OVERDUE ([X] items) • Task 1 — was due [date] • Task 2 — was due [date] 📅 TODAY'S PRIORITIES 1. [ ] Priority task 1 — [deadline/context] 2. [ ] Priority task 2 — [deadline/context] 3. [ ] Priority task 3 — [deadline/context] 📆 CALENDAR • [Time] — [Event] • [Time] — [Event] • [Time] — [Event] 💡 CONTEXT (from recent meetings) • [Key insight 1] • [Key insight 2] • [Key insight 3] 🎯 FOCUS FOR TODAY [One sentence: What's the ONE thing that matters most today?] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` ### MANDATORY RULES | Rule | Requirement | |------|-------------| | **ONE response** | Complete briefing in a single message | | **Sections in order** | Overdue → Priorities → Calendar → Context → Focus | | **Skip empty sections** | If no overdue items, skip that section | | **Max 5 per section** | Keep it scannable (except calendar, show all) | | **Focus statement** | Always end with ONE thing to focus on | --- ## Why This Exists Every morning you face the same questions: - What's overdue? - What's due today? - What meetings do I have? - What's the context I need to remember? Instead of checking 5 different places, get one briefing. --- ## What It Does | Input | Output | |-------|--------| | "briefing" | ✅ Complete daily overview | | "what's overdue?" | ✅ Overdue tasks only | | "what's on my calendar?" | ✅ Today's schedule | | "what should I focus on?" | ✅ Priority recommendation | | "weekly preview" | ✅ Week-ahead view | --- ## Data Sources The briefing pulls from these locations (if they exist): ### 1. To-Do List (from ai-meeting-notes) **Location:** `todo.md` in workspace root ```markdown # To-Do List ## ⚠️ Overdue | # | Task | Owner | Due | Source | |---|------|-------|-----|--------| | 3 | Send proposal | @You | Jan 25 | client-call.md | ## 📅 Due Today | # | Task | Owner | Source | |---|------|-------|--------| | 5 | Review budget | @You | team-sync.md | ## 📆 This Week | # | Task | Owner | Due | Source | |---|------|-------|-----|--------| | 1 | Finalize report | @You | Fri | planning.md | ``` ### 2. Meeting Notes **Location:** `meeting-notes/` folder - Scan recent files (last 3-7 days) - Extract decisions, action items, context - Surface relevant reminders ### 3. Calendar (if available) - Today's meetings and events - Tomorrow preview (optional) - Conflicts or tight schedules ### 4. Memory/Context Files (if using ai-persona-os) **Locations:** - `MEMORY.md` — Permanent facts - `memory/[today].md` — Session notes - `USER.md` — User preferences --- ## Trigger Phrases Any of these should trigger a briefing: | Phrase | Action | |--------|--------| | "briefing" | Full daily briefing | | "daily briefing" | Full daily briefing | | "morning briefing" | Full daily briefing | | "what's on my plate?" | Full daily briefing | | "start my day" | Full daily briefing | | "what do I need to know?" | Full daily briefing | | "what's today look like?" | Full daily briefing | | "give me the rundown" | Full daily briefing | --- <ai_instructions> ## For the AI: How to Generate a Daily Briefing When a user asks for a briefing, follow these steps. ### Step 0: Pre-Flight Check Before generating the briefing, confirm: - [ ] Will respond in ONE message - [ ] Will use the exact format from the CRITICAL section - [ ] Will include the Focus statement at the end ### Step 1: Gather Data Sources Check for these files in order: ``` 1. todo.md (to-do list from ai-meeting-notes) 2. meeting-notes/ folder (recent meeting notes) 3. MEMORY.md (if using ai-persona-os) 4. memory/[today].md (session notes) 5. Calendar integration (if available) ``` **If no data sources exist:** ``` No existing to-do list or meeting notes found. Would you like me to: • Create a to-do list? (just tell me your tasks) • Process some meeting notes? (paste them here) • Set up a simple priority list for today? ``` ### Step 2: Extract Overdue Items From `todo.md`, find items in the "⚠️ Overdue" section. **Display format:** ``` ⚠️ OVERDUE ([X] items) • [Task] — was due [date] • [Task] — was due [date] ``` **Rules:** - Show max 5 items (if more: "+ [X] more overdue") - Most urgent first - Include original due date - If none: Skip this section entirely ### Step 3: Extract Today's Priorities Combine from multiple sources: 1. **From todo.md:** - "📅 Due Today" section - "📆 This Week" items due today 2. **From meeting-notes/:** - Action items assigned to user with today's deadline - Follow-ups due today 3. **From calendar:** - Important meetings to prep for - Deadlines **Display format:** ``` 📅 TODAY'S PRIORITIES 1. [ ] [Task] — [deadline/context] 2. [ ] [Task] — [deadline/context] 3. [ ] [Task] — [deadline/context] ``` **Rules:** - Show max 5 items - Numbered for easy reference - Include checkbox format - Prioritize by: urgency → importance → order mentioned ### Step 4: Calendar Overview If calendar data is available: **Display format:** ``` 📆 CALENDAR • [Time] — [Event] • [Time] — [Event] • [Time] — [Event] ``` **Rules:** - Chronological order - Show all events (don't truncate) - Include time and event name - If no calendar: Skip this section or note "No calendar connected" ### Step 5: Context from Recent Meetings Scan `meeting-notes/` folder for files from last 3-7 days. Extract: - Key decisions made - Important context to remember - Upcoming deadlines mentioned - People/relationships to follow up with **Display format:** ``` 💡 CONTEXT (from recent meetings) • [Key insight 1] • [Key insight 2] • [Key insight 3] ``` **Rules:** - Max 5 context items - Only include relevant/actionable context - Reference the meeting if helpful: "(from client-call)" - If no recent meetings: Skip this section ### Step 6: Generate Focus Statement Based on everything gathered, determine the ONE most important thing. **Criteria for choosing focus:** 1. Overdue items with consequences 2. High-stakes meetings today 3. Deadlines that can't slip 4. Dependencies blocking others **Display format:** ``` 🎯 FOCUS FOR TODAY [One clear sentence about the single most important thing] ``` **Examples:** - "Get the Acme proposal sent — it's 2 days overdue and they're waiting." - "Prep for the investor call at 2pm — everything else can wait." - "Clear the 3 overdue tasks before starting anything new." - "No fires today — use this for deep work on the Q2 plan." ### Step 7: Assemble the Briefing Put it all together in the exact format: ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☀️ DAILY BRIEFING — [Day], [Month] [Date], [Year] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Overdue section — if any] [Today's Priorities section] [Calendar section — if available] [Context section — if any] [Focus statement — always] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` ### Step 8: Handle Variations **"What's overdue?"** ``` ⚠️ OVERDUE ITEMS 1. [Task] — was due [date] 2. [Task] — was due [date] [If none: "Nothing overdue! You're caught up."] ``` **"What's on my calendar?"** ``` 📆 TODAY'S CALENDAR — [Date] • [Time] — [Event] • [Time] — [Event] [Tomorrow preview if requested] ``` **"Weekly preview" / "What's this week look like?"** ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📅 WEEKLY PREVIEW — Week of [Date] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MONDAY • [Tasks/events] TUESDAY • [Tasks/events] [etc.] ⚠️ WATCH OUT FOR • [Key deadline or conflict] • [Important meeting] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` ### Edge Cases **No data sources found:** - Don't show empty briefing - Offer to help set up todo list or process notes **First time user:** - Explain where data comes from - Offer to create initial setup **Weekend briefing:** - Lighter format - Focus on upcoming week prep - Skip "today's priorities" if nothing scheduled **End of day request:** - Shift to "what's left today" + "tomorrow preview" - Acknowledge time of day ### Tone - **Crisp and actionable** — No fluff - **Honest about priorities** — Don't sugarcoat overdue items - **Encouraging but real** — "Busy day, but manageable" - **Proactive** — Surface things before they're problems </ai_instructions> --- ## Works Best With | Skill | Why | |-------|-----| | **ai-meeting-notes** | Creates the to-do list this pulls from | | **ai-persona-os** | Provides memory and context | **Standalone:** Works without other skills — just won't have meeting context or persistent todo. --- ## Quick Start **Day 1:** ``` You: "briefing" AI: [Shows briefing based on available data, or offers to set up] ``` **After using ai-meeting-notes:** ``` You: "briefing" AI: [Shows full briefing with overdue items, priorities, context] ``` --- ## Customization Want to customize your briefing? Tell me your preferences: **Time preferences:** - "I start work at 6am" → Earlier context - "Show tomorrow's first meeting" → Tomorrow preview **Section preferences:** - "Always show weather" → Add weather - "Skip calendar" → Omit calendar section - "Include quotes" → Add motivational quote **Priority preferences:** - "Health tasks are always P1" → Boost health items - "Family first" → Prioritize family commitments --- ## Example Briefing ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☀️ DAILY BRIEFING — Tuesday, February 3, 2026 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ OVERDUE (2 items) • Send Acme proposal — was due Feb 1 • Review Week 2 training materials — was due Jan 31 📅 TODAY'S PRIORITIES 1. [ ] Anne follow-up call — 2pm today 2. [ ] Finalize Week 3 training content — EOD 3. [ ] Prep for Makati trip — flights need booking 4. [ ] Respond to Karlen re: workflow docs 5. [ ] Clear overdue Acme proposal 📆 CALENDAR • 10:00 AM — Team standup (30 min) • 2:00 PM — Anne follow-up call (1 hour) • 4:30 PM — Workshop dry run (90 min) 💡 CONTEXT (from recent meetings) • Anne partnership confirmed — ready to move forward (from anne-call) • OpenClaw bot architecture changing to specialists (from pm-meeting) • Makati trip deadline approaching — need flights by Friday 🎯 FOCUS FOR TODAY Get the Acme proposal out first thing — it's 2 days overdue and blocking the deal. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` --- ## About the Creator **Jeff J Hunter** built this system to start every day with clarity instead of chaos.
