/morning-brief — Daily Morning Brief

Generate a structured morning brief and write it to today's daily review file.

Instructions

Step 1 — Establish today's date

date +%Y-%m-%d

Use the output as TODAY (format: YYYY-MM-DD). Also derive:

DAY_NAME — full weekday name (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
MONTH_NAME — full month name
DAY_NUM — day of month

Step 2 — Read context sources (run all reads in parallel)

Goals summary — your goals summary file (e.g. goals/_summary.md) Extract: This Month's Top Priorities list (the numbered items)
Task board — your task board index (e.g. tasks/_index.md) Extract: All Active Tasks where status is active or in-progress, priority is critical or high. Include agent and ID.
Latest competitor digest — find the most recent file in your competitor digests directory (e.g. network/competitors/digests/) Extract: Top 2–3 signals only. Look for "Key Signals", "Top Signals", or the first substantive section. Skip boilerplate.
Content pipeline — your content pipeline index (e.g. content/posts/_posts-index.md) Extract: All posts with stage READY or SCHEDULED. Note the next post due if any has a date.

Step 3 — Compose the brief

Build a brief with exactly these sections, in this order:

---
date: YYYY-MM-DD
day: DAY_NAME
type: daily-review
---

# Morning Brief — DAY_NAME, MONTH_NAME DAY_NUM, YEAR

## Top Priorities
[Numbered list pulled from monthly priorities in goals summary — max 5 items]

## Active Tasks (High/Critical)
[Table or bullet list: ID | Title | Agent — only critical and high priority active tasks]

## Competitor Signal
[2–3 bullet points from latest digest. Include digest date. If no digest from last 2 days, note it.]

## Content Pipeline
[READY posts: list with IDs and titles]
[SCHEDULED posts: list with IDs, titles, and scheduled dates if known]
[Note: if pipeline is empty or all posts are in IDEA/DRAFT, flag it]

## One Focus
[Single most important thing to do today, derived from priorities + task board. One sentence, direct.]

Keep the brief tight. No padding. The goal is to read it in under 2 minutes.

Step 4 — Write to the daily review file

Target path: your daily review directory (e.g. reviews/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md)

If the file does not exist: write the full brief as the file content.
If the file already exists: prepend the brief above any existing content, separated by ---.

Do not overwrite existing evening reflection or other content.

Step 5 — Confirm

Output to the chat:

Confirmation that the brief was written, with the file path
The "One Focus" line so it's visible without opening the file
