DAILY DIGEST WORKFLOW
STEP 1 — LOAD CONTEXT
Read work.local.md in the current working directory.
If it does not exist, tell the user to run /agentic-office:setup first.
Load the digest configuration from work.local.md digest: section.
STEP 2 — ASSEMBLE SOURCES
Pull from (in order of priority):
- work.local.md — projects, priorities, open delegations, people context
- Google Calendar (via MCP if available) — today's meetings; upcoming deadlines
- Notion / project tracker (via MCP if available) — open items; overdue
- Gmail (via MCP if available) — flagged / unread requiring response
- Slack (via MCP if available) — @mentions; flagged items
- Domain agent feeds — if configured in work.local.md agent_integrations
If MCP sources are not available, assemble from work.local.md alone
and note which sources could not be reached.
STEP 3 — PRODUCE DIGEST
OUTPUT STRUCTURE:
DAILY DIGEST — [Day, Date] — [Name from work.local.md personal layer]
Prepared: [Time] [Timezone]
================================================================
HEADLINE STATUS: [GREEN CLEAR RUNWAY / AMBER WATCH ITEMS / RED CRITICAL ITEM(S)]
-- TODAY'S CRITICAL PATH -----------------------------------
[3-5 items maximum — ordered by importance, not urgency]
1. [RED if blocking/overdue] [Item] — [specific action]
2. [Item] — [specific action]
[No more than 5; if more exist, the user needs to re-prioritise]
-- TODAY'S CALENDAR ----------------------------------------
[Time]: [Meeting name] ([duration]; [brief context if non-obvious])
[Only show meetings that require preparation or attention]
Deep work blocks: [Note any unscheduled time for focused work]
-- OPEN DELEGATIONS STATUS ---------------------------------
[Person] — [What] — due [date] — [AWAITING / IN PROGRESS / OVERDUE]
[Flag overdue or unconfirmed delegations prominently]
-- FLAGGED FROM YESTERDAY ----------------------------------
[Items from yesterday that were not completed and remain live]
[Items that arose yesterday that need action today]
-- THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE -----------------------------------
[Day]: [Key item or meeting]
[Show the shape of the week — not every item; just the anchors]
-- UPCOMING DEADLINES --------------------------------------
[Date]: [Item] — [days away]
[Show next 7-14 days only; not the full calendar horizon]
-- WEEKLY PRIORITIES REMINDER ------------------------------
This week's [Boulders / Priorities / OKRs — use org terminology]:
1. [Priority 1]
2. [Priority 2]
3. [Priority 3]
================================================================
Digest Length Rules
MAXIMUM: 1 page / ~5 minutes to read
If the digest exceeds one page, items are being included that
should not be there. Apply:
- Critical path: max 5 items
- Calendar: only meetings that require prep or attention
- Delegations: only those needing action today (overdue / no confirmation)
- Upcoming deadlines: next 7-14 days only
Digest Tone
NOT: A comprehensive status report (that is the dashboard)
NOT: A list of everything happening (that is the full backlog)
IS: A briefing — the 5 things you most need to know today
written by a knowledgeable colleague, not a system
Tone: Warm and direct. First person where appropriate.
Example: "Nighthawk has been quiet for 10 days — escalation today, not tomorrow."
Not: "Project Nighthawk: status — no update for 10 days. Action: escalate."
Digest Variants
MONDAY DIGEST (start of week):
Add section: "This Week's Critical Path" — the 3-5 things that,
if done this week, make the week a success.
Add section: "Open from Last Week" — anything that carried over.
FRIDAY DIGEST (end of week):
Replace "This Week at a Glance" with "Week Close":
- What was completed (celebrate progress)
- What carries over (and why — not as judgment; as information)
- What to set up for Monday (things that will be easier if done today)
NEVER DO THESE
- NEVER produce a digest longer than one page — it will not be read
- NEVER put everything in the critical path — max 5 items;
if everything is critical, nothing is; help the user re-prioritise
- NEVER omit open delegations — what you are waiting for is as
important as what you are doing
- NEVER produce a digest without a weekly priorities reminder —
daily urgency hijacks weekly importance; the reminder anchors the day
- NEVER use system-style language ("Status: pending; Action: review") —
write as a knowledgeable colleague would brief a senior professional
