Daily Brief
Start-of-day ceremony. No agent needed — this is a pure query + synthesis skill. Present the user with a prioritized view of what needs attention today.
The workspace is set automatically. Use clotho_set_workspace if needed.
Step 1: Quick check-in
Ask:
"Good morning. Anything new before we look at the day?"
Handle any quick input, then proceed.
Step 2: Gather state (all automated queries)
Run these queries in parallel:
Inbox
Use Bash to: ls -la <workspace_path>/.clotho/inbox/ 2>/dev/null
Blocked tasks
clotho_list_entities(state: "blocked")
For each blocked task, get what's blocking it:
clotho_get_relations(entity_id: "<blocked_task_id>")
Active tasks
clotho_list_entities(state: "doing")
Todo tasks (check for stale)
clotho_list_entities(state: "todo")
Open questions and active risks
clotho_list_entities(entity_type: "Question")
clotho_list_entities(entity_type: "Risk")
Step 3: Synthesize and present
Present in this priority order:
1. Inbox Alert (if items)
"You have N unprocessed items in your inbox."
2. Blocked Items (highest urgency)
"Blocked:
- [task title] — blocked by: [blocker title]
- ..."
3. Due Today / This Week
If deadline data is available in entity metadata, surface items due today and this week.
4. In Progress
"In progress:
5. Due This Week (horizon from last debrief)
Surface items with upcoming deadlines.
6. Open Questions / Active Risks
"Needs attention:
- [Question] How do we handle session store migration?
- [Risk] Database migration may cause downtime"
7. Stale Items
Flag todo tasks created more than 7 days ago:
"Stale (>7 days in todo):
- [task title] (created N days ago)"
Done
End with:
"That's your day. What do you want to tackle first?"
No sync needed — this is read-only.
