Sup
Read-only Top-10 dashboard built from the Obsidian vault. Reads `wiki/daily/<today>/{mentions.md, topics.md, linear.md, calendar.md, notes.md}` produced by `/digital-brain:sync` — does NOT call Gmail, Slack, Linear, or Calendar MCPs. If today's folder is missing or stale, prints a one-line prompt to run sync. Triggers on: "/digital-brain:sup", "/sup", "sup", "what's up", "what needs my attention", "where am I", "what's open".From its SKILL.md

sup: Vault-Only Top-10 Dashboard
/sup is fast because it does NOT live-query anything. It reads the markdown files that /digital-brain:sync already wrote into the daily vault folder and renders a Top-10 table.
Strict contract:
- No MCP calls. Not Gmail. Not Slack. Not Linear. Not Calendar. Not Notion. If you find yourself reaching for an MCP tool from
/sup, stop — that is a/syncjob. - Read-only. No writes to
wiki/. - Vault is the source of truth. If the vault doesn't have the data, say so and tell the user to run
/digital-brain:sync.
User identity: [email protected].
Workflow
-
Resolve today's folder.
today = date +%Y-%m-%d(local time). Path:wiki/daily/<today>/. -
Check freshness.
- If the folder doesn't exist → print:
no vault data for today — run /digital-brain:syncand stop. - If the folder exists but the most recent
## Update HH:MM(or top-of-file timestamp) is more than 4 hours old → print the dashboard anyway, but prepend a note:_⚠️ data is <N>h old — consider /digital-brain:sync_.
- If the folder doesn't exist → print:
-
Read all five files in parallel:
mentions.md,topics.md,linear.md,calendar.md,notes.mdfromwiki/daily/<today>/. Ifnotes.mdis missing (older sync), fall back to globbingwiki/notes/*.mddirectly. In-memory filter, no writes: drop any note row whose source file hasstatus: expiredorstatus: done, OR whoseexpires < today(defensive — the file may not have been swept yet). The actualstatusflip lives in/noteand/sync. (Optionally also peek at the prior day's folder if a Slack DM thread spans the boundary — but only if needed to fill the table.) -
Score and rank. Apply the Top-10 selection rules below. Build the table.
-
Render. Output the dashboard. End with a one-line next move.
Top-10 selection rules
| Row earns its spot when… | Skip when… |
|---|---|
| Explicit ask of you (question, review request, decision needed) | Reaction emoji, "ok"/"thanks"/"got it", Spotify links, banter |
| Hard deadline in the next 4h (Calendar event or "by HH:MM" in message) | Calendar invitation / accepted / declined / updated emails |
| Linear issue assigned to you with priority Urgent or High | [email protected], [email protected], |
| Linear mention in a comment within the last 48h | [email protected], AWS marketing |
who-does-what row where the assignee is stalled (>3 days no activity) | Linear-bot Slack messages that mirror an you message |
| Trip / travel / planning email needing a reply | Pure FYI announcements ("X accepted the invite") |
Note kind: task with status: open (always earns a row) | Notes with status: expired / done, or expires < today |
Note kind: reminder with due ≤ now + 24h | Reminders with due > now + 24h (those stay in notes.md but skip the table) |
Dedupe: If a Linear mention from linear.md already gets a row, do NOT also add the matching [email protected] email from mentions.md. If a note row carries a linear: ID that matches a Linear row, keep the note row (your own framing wins) and drop the duplicate Linear row.
Priority tier:
- 🔥 — deadline ≤ 4h away (Calendar event or explicit "by HH:MM" deadline in chat).
- High — explicit ask-of-you in last 24h, or Urgent/High Linear assigned.
- Med — older asks, context-only items.

Rules
- No MCP. Period.
- Read-only. No writes.
- Top-10 is the headline. Sub-sections are short summaries from the daily files.
- If a section in the daily file is
_none_, omit it from sub-sections. - If today's folder is missing, just print the one-line prompt — don't fake the table.
