Morning Kickoff

Trigger Phrases

• "good morning"
• "morning"
• "start my day"
• "morning kickoff"
• "what's on today"
• "today's plan"

Workflow

Step 1: Check for Existing Daily Page

Search {{notes}} for a page titled with today's date (e.g., "2026-03-19" or "March 19, 2026").

• If a daily page already exists, tell the user and ask if they want to refresh it or skip.
• If no page exists, continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Fetch Today's Calendar

Query {{calendar}} for all events happening today.

• Include: event title, start/end time, attendees, and any linked docs or agendas.
• Sort chronologically.
• Calculate total meeting hours by summing event durations (round to nearest 15 min).
• Calculate available deep work hours: 8h - meeting hours.

Step 3: Fetch Assigned Tasks

Query {{tasks}} for tasks assigned to the user with status "In Progress" or "To Do".

• Sort by priority (highest first), then by due date (soonest first).
• Include: task ID, title, status, and priority.
• Limit to 15 most relevant tasks.

Step 4: Check Yesterday's Page

Read the most recent daily page before today from {{notes}}.

• Look for an "End-of-Day Recap" or "Carry Forward" section.
• Extract any items marked as carry-forwards, incomplete, or blocked.
• If no previous page exists, skip this step.

Step 5: Suggest Top 3 Priorities

Analyze calendar density and task urgency to suggest the day's top 3 focus areas.

Rules:

• If meeting load is heavy (>4h), prioritize quick wins and meeting prep over deep work.
• If meeting load is light (<2h), prioritize the highest-impact deep work task.
• Always surface carry-forward items that have been deferred more than once.
• If a task is due today or overdue, it gets priority regardless of meeting load.

Present priorities as a numbered list with brief rationale for each.

Step 6: Create the Daily Page

Create a new page in {{notes}} titled with today's date. Use this structure:

# [Today's Date]

## Focus Areas
1. [Priority 1] — [rationale]
2. [Priority 2] — [rationale]
3. [Priority 3] — [rationale]

Deep work available: [X]h ([Y]h in meetings)

## Schedule
- [time] — [event name] ([attendees])
- [time] — [event name] ([attendees])
- ...

## Carry-Forward
- [item from yesterday, if any]

## Working Notes
[empty — fill during the day]

## End-of-Day Recap
[empty — filled by eod-review]

Step 7: Summarize

Print a brief summary to the user:

• Top 3 priorities
• Number of meetings and deep work hours available
• Any carry-forward items to watch

Notes

• This skill pairs with eod-review (fills the recap section) and checkin (midday progress check).
• If {{calendar}} is not configured, skip schedule and assume 8h of deep work time.
• If {{tasks}} is not configured, skip task fetch and ask the user what they plan to work on.

Examples

User: "good morning"

Assistant: Good morning! Let me set up your day.

You have 3 meetings today (2.5h), leaving about 5.5h of deep work time.

Top 3 priorities:

1. Finish auth migration (due today, carry-forward from yesterday)
2. Review PR #482 (Jordan requested review 2 days ago)
3. Prep for 1:1 with Taylor at 2pm

I've created your daily page with the full schedule and task list. Anything you want to adjust?
