Phase 1: Gather Data

Execute these data gathering steps:

1.1 Red Rover - All Staff Absences

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/redrover-manager/scripts/get_daily_summary.js today

Returns: total_absences, filled, unfilled, fill_rate, by_school, by_reason, by_position_type, unfilled_positions[]

1.2 Red Rover - Certificated Only

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/redrover-manager/scripts/get_certificated_summary.js today

Returns: same shape as 1.1 but filtered to Teacher, ESA - Certificated, CTE - Teacher position types.

1.3 Classified (Derived)

Do not run a script. Subtract certificated values from all-staff values in the orchestration layer:

• classified_absences = all_absences - cert_absences
• classified_filled = all_filled - cert_filled
• classified_unfilled = all_unfilled - cert_unfilled
• classified_fill_rate = classified_filled / classified_absences * 100 (handle divide-by-zero)

1.3b Red Rover - Weekly Trends

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/redrover-manager/scripts/get_weekly_summary.js 0

Provides 5-day trend context: daily averages, peak/slow days, fill rate trends. Used for "compared to this week's average" framing in the briefing.

1.4 FreshService - Transportation Tickets

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/search_tickets.js "status:2 OR status:3" 9

Workspace ID: 9 (Transportation) Returns: count, tickets[] (id, subject, status, priority, created_at, due_by)

1.5 FreshService - Maintenance Tickets

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/search_tickets.js "status:2 OR status:3" 6

Workspace ID: 6 (Maintenance) Returns: same shape as 1.4

1.6 FreshService - Employee Support Services Tickets

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/search_tickets.js "status:2 OR status:3" 3

Workspace ID: 3 (Employee Support Services) Returns: same shape as 1.4

1.7 Legislative - Fiscal Focus

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/legislative-tracker/scripts/get_recent_bill_activity.js --last-business-day

Workflow:

1. Get the output from get_recent_bill_activity.js
2. WebFetch each bill URL (batch 5-6 in parallel for speed)
3. Extract latest action date from each bill page
4. Filter to bills where latest_action_date >= lookback_start
5. Prioritize bills with FISCAL impact type - these get detailed treatment
6. Other bill types get brief mention only

Also pull Tier 2 finance committee bills:

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/legislative-tracker/scripts/get_bills.js --tier 2 --format briefing

On Monday: Lookback starts on Friday (or earlier if Friday was a holiday), so includes all weekend activity.

1.8 K-12 Financial News

Use WebSearch with these queries (replace [MONTH YEAR] with current month/year):

1. K-12 school district finance budget funding news past 24 hours [MONTH YEAR]
2. Washington state education funding levy bond news [MONTH YEAR]
3. WASBO Washington school business officials news [MONTH YEAR]
4. OSPI fiscal budget allocation Washington state [MONTH YEAR]

WebFetch top 3-4 articles. Extract 2-3 sentence synopses for each:

• What happened / what's new
• Why it matters for K-12 finance
• Key takeaway for a CFO

Freshness check: Verify article dates. Only include articles published within the last 48 hours. Skip older articles even if they appear in results.

1.9 Weather

Use WebSearch:

Gig Harbor WA weather today forecast

Extract:

• Current conditions
• High/low temperature
• Precipitation chance
• Any alerts

1.10 Calendar/Email (Simulated)

No API calls. This is a placeholder for future integration.

Display in the briefing:

2.2 Podcast Script (~1400 words, ~9 min)

Transform the briefing into a conversational audio script. Address Ashley directly.

Required Sections (in order):

1. Opening (~80 words)

   • "Good morning, Ashley."
   • Day, date, weather summary
   • Quick preview: "Today we have X absences with a Y% fill rate, Z department tickets, and some legislative movement on education funding."

2. Absences Dashboard (~350 words)

   • Total absences, fill rate, unfilled count
   • Certificated vs classified breakdown
   • Weekly trend context: "Compared to this week's average of X, today is [above/below]..."
   • Schools with highest absence counts
   • Top absence reasons
   • Any unfilled positions requiring attention
   • Financial framing: "X unfilled positions means Y classrooms without coverage today"

3. Department Tickets (~200 words)

   • Transportation: count + any urgent items
   • Maintenance: count + any urgent items
   • Employee Support Services: count + any urgent items
   • Highlight anything overdue or high-priority

4. Legislative Fiscal Update (~300 words)

   • Bills with FISCAL impact that had recent activity
   • Budget implications for the district
   • Upcoming hearings or votes to watch
   • Finance committee bill highlights

5. Finance/WASBO/OSPI News (~200 words)

   • 2-3 articles with financial relevance
   • Why each matters for PSD's budget or operations

6. Closing (~100 words)

   • Top 3 items requiring CFO attention today
   • "Have a productive day, Ashley."

Tone Guidelines:

• Professional, data-forward, financial framing
• Use specific numbers, not vague language
• "Your fill rate is 78%" not "fill rates are somewhat low"
• Connect absence data to operational/financial impact
• Reference trends: "up from yesterday" or "below this week's average"

CRITICAL - NO HALLUCINATION:

• Use ONLY data from the scripts executed in Phase 1
• Never invent absence numbers, ticket counts, or bill details
• If a data source returned no results, say "No data available from [source]"

Phase 3: Create Podcast

3.1 Apply Pronunciations

bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/morning-briefing/scripts/apply_pronunciations.js \
  --file /tmp/cfo_briefing_podcast.txt \
  --guide /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/cfo-briefing/pronunciation_guide.json

3.2 Generate Audio

uv run --with mlx-audio --with pydub /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/local-tts/scripts/generate_audio.py \
  --file /tmp/cfo_briefing_podcast.txt \
  --voice af_heart \
  --output ~/Desktop/cfo_briefing_[DATE].mp3

Voice: af_heart (warm, professional) Note: Replace [DATE] with YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., cfo_briefing_2026-02-03.mp3)

---

Phase 3.5: Generate Absence Infographic

Build a dynamic prompt from Red Rover data and generate an infographic.

3.5.1 Build Infographic Prompt

Using the data gathered in Phase 1, construct a prompt:

Create a data dashboard infographic titled "PSD Staff Absences - [DATE]".

Main section - three large gauge/donut charts:
1. Total Absences: [X] (large number, navy background)
2. Fill Rate: [Y]% (color-coded: green if >=80%, gold if 70-79%, red if <70%)
3. Unfilled: [Z] (red accent if >5, gold if 3-5, green if <3)

Two-column comparison below the gauges:
Left column - "Certificated":
- Absences: [X]
- Filled: [Y]
- Unfilled: [Z]
- Fill Rate: [X]%

Right column - "Classified":
- Absences: [X]
- Filled: [Y]
- Unfilled: [Z]
- Fill Rate: [X]%

Bottom section - horizontal bar chart "Top 5 Schools by Absence Count":
[School 1]: [X] absences (filled portion in green, unfilled in red)
[School 2]: [X] absences
[School 3]: [X] absences
[School 4]: [X] absences
[School 5]: [X] absences

Style: Professional dashboard with PSD brand colors - navy (#003366) primary,
gold (#FFD700) accent, green (#28a745) for filled/positive, red (#dc3545) for
unfilled/negative. White background. Clean sans-serif typography. 16:9 aspect ratio.
Subtitle: "Prepared for Ashley Murphy, CFO"

3.5.2 Generate Image

uv run /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/image-gen/scripts/generate.py \
  "[infographic prompt]" \
  ~/Desktop/cfo_briefing_[DATE].png \
  16:9 \
  2K

Settings:

• Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape dashboard)
• Size: 2K (ensures text readability)
• Output: ~/Desktop/cfo_briefing_[DATE].png
