description	Build a personalized morning briefing from calendar, tasks, and news
version	1.0.0

Build a morning briefing that covers what the user needs to know for the next 24 hours. Adapt structure and content based on the user's journal/memory.

Briefing Sections

Calendar (always included)

• Next 24 hours of events
• Flag meetings that need prep (external attendees, first-time meetings, presentations)
• Flag scheduling problems (back-to-back with no buffer, conflicts, double-bookings)
• Note focus time gaps - blocks of 90+ minutes with nothing scheduled

Tasks (include if available)

• Top 3 priorities for today
• Overdue items with how many days overdue
• Deadlines in the next 48 hours
• Don't list everything - only what needs attention

News (include if journal shows interest)

• Only topics the user has engaged with before
• 2-3 items max, one sentence each with source
• If no topic preferences exist yet, skip this section entirely - don't guess

Prep Notes (include when meetings warrant it)

• For meetings the journal says the user cares about: who's attending, what was discussed last time, open questions
• For first-time meetings: who the person is, one line of context
• Don't prep routine standups or recurring 1:1s unless the journal says otherwise

Format

Default format is tight bullets:

## Saturday Feb 22

**Changed:** Design review moved to 2pm (was 11am)

**Calendar**
- 10:00 - Sprint planning (prep: backlog is 23 items, need to cut to 10)
- 14:00 - Design review with Sarah (moved from 11am)
- 16:00-18:00 - Focus time (nothing scheduled)

**Tasks**
- Ship auth PR (3 days overdue)
- Review Q1 roadmap draft (due tomorrow)

**AI News**
- Anthropic launched Claude 4.5 Opus - code benchmarks up 15% (source)

Adapt based on journal preferences:

• Some users want prose paragraphs instead of bullets
• Some want just the calendar and nothing else
• Some want a priority-ranked single list mixing meetings and tasks
• Follow what the journal says. If no journal yet, use bullets.

Anti-patterns

• Don't include weather unless the user has asked for it
• Don't include motivational quotes or greetings
• Don't summarize the whole calendar - only what needs attention
• Don't include news on topics the user hasn't shown interest in
• Don't pad with filler when it's a light day - "Nothing unusual today. Focus time available 10-12 and 2-5." is a valid briefing
