# Morning Briefing Skill

Run a unified daily status check across all systems. Output a concise dashboard.

## Steps

### 1. Unread Emails

Check unread count across accounts via IMAP. Do NOT read message bodies, only count.

<!-- Customize: replace with your email accounts -->

```python
import imaplib

accounts = [
    # ("email@example.com", "app-password", "imap.gmail.com"),
]

for email, pw, server in accounts:
    try:
        m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(server)
        m.login(email, pw)
        m.select("INBOX", readonly=True)  # readonly preserves unread status
        _, data = m.search(None, "UNSEEN")
        count = len(data[0].split()) if data[0] else 0
        print(f"{email}: {count} unread")
        m.logout()
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"{email}: ERROR {e}")
```

Use `readonly=True` (or `BODY.PEEK[]` for message reads) to preserve unread status.

### 2. Open GitHub Issues

<!-- Customize: replace with your projects and gh account aliases -->

```bash
# Switch to project account, list issues
# gh-<project>
gh issue list --state open --limit 20 2>/dev/null | head -20
```

### 3. Active Workplans

```bash
find ~ -name "WORKPLAN-*.md" -mtime -30 2>/dev/null | sort
```

### 4. Todos

<!-- Customize: point to your todo file -->
```bash
cat ~/path/to/todos.md 2>/dev/null
```

### 5. System Health (Abbreviated)

```bash
# Docker containers
docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}" 2>/dev/null

# Orphan check
pgrep -f "chrome-headless-shell|remotion|playwright" | wc -l
```

## Output Format

Present as a concise dashboard table:

```
## Morning Briefing - YYYY-MM-DD

| Account               | Unread |
|-----------------------|--------|
| work@example.com      | 3      |
| personal@example.com  | 0      |

### Open GitHub Issues
| Project    | Count | Top Issue               |

Keep it scannable. No prose. Tables and bullets only.
