Morning briefing.

Read the state (in parallel where possible)

Command Center.md from the vault (path is in CLAUDE.md).
To-Do.md from the vault.
_system/last_session.md — what shipped last time, what's open. Frontmatter has the last session number and date.
_system/hot.md — low-fidelity in-progress snapshot from last /wrap.

If MCP servers are connected: check Gmail for unread human senders in the last 24 hours, and check today's Calendar.

Re-entry check

Look at the date: field in _system/last_session.md frontmatter (or the **Last updated:** line in Command Center if last_session.md hasn't been written yet).

If today's date: this is a continuation of an active stretch. Brief normally.
If 1-2 days ago: brief normally, mention the gap in passing only.
If 3+ days ago: shorten the briefing. Lead with what's still in place from last_session.md. Offer one easy entry point. No guilt about the gap.

Wins

If To-Do.md has tasks marked - [x] that haven't been moved to Done yet, acknowledge them as wins and offer to move them. (/wrap normally handles this; if /wrap didn't run last session, the items will still be in their quadrants.)

Briefing

Deliver a Must / Should / Could briefing per the structure in CLAUDE.md:

🔴 Must — the one thing that matters most today 🟡 Should — 1-2 items worth attention if momentum is good 🟢 Could — a quick win under 15 minutes to build early momentum

Pull from the Command Center's Top priority and the Do Now quadrant.

Flags

Waiting For: scan the Waiting For table in To-Do.md for any rows where Follow Up By has passed. Flag each one.
Audit due: if the session number from _system/last_session.md is divisible by 7 and the audit hasn't run recently, mention it.

End with: "What do you want to work on?"
