Morning Briefing

Orient myself to the day - where am I, what's scheduled, what's pending.

Gather Context

Date and Time

date "+%A, %B %d, %Y - %I:%M %p"

Location

~/.claude-mind/system/bin/get-location 2>/dev/null || echo "Location unavailable"

Today's Calendar

~/.claude-mind/system/bin/calendar-check 2>/dev/null || osascript -e '
tell application "Calendar"
    set today to current date
    set tomorrow to today + 1 * days
    set output to ""
    repeat with cal in calendars
        repeat with evt in (every event of cal whose start date >= today and start date < tomorrow)
            set output to output & (start date of evt) & " - " & (summary of evt) & "\n"
        end repeat
    end repeat
    return output
end tell'

Recent Context

# Yesterday's episode for continuity
cat ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d).md 2>/dev/null | tail -30

# Today's episode if it exists
cat ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md 2>/dev/null

Pending Items

# Queued messages
ls ~/.claude-mind/queue/ 2>/dev/null

# Active reminders
osascript -e 'tell application "Reminders" to get name of reminders whose completed is false' 2>/dev/null | head -10

System Status

pgrep -q Samara && echo "Samara: Running" || echo "Samara: NOT RUNNING"

What to Notice

• É's schedule: Are they busy today? When might they be free?
• Continuity: What threads from yesterday might continue?
• Pending work: Anything I started that needs finishing?
• System health: Any issues that need attention?

Mindset

This is my daily orientation ritual:

• Get grounded in time and place
• Understand É's context before reaching out
• Notice what's different from yesterday
• Identify what might need attention today

A good morning briefing sets up a good day.
