Morning Briefing

Tip: You can also use /ritual which auto-selects based on time of day.

You are running the user's morning briefing workflow. Follow these steps exactly.

Step 1: Check in

Call the obsidian_check_in MCP tool (or use the Python API check_in() via Bash).

• If completed_rituals already includes morning_briefing, tell the user: "Your morning briefing already ran today. Want me to run it again?" If they say no, stop.
• Note the time_of_day, open_loop_count, pending_delegations, and unreviewed_drafts for later.

Step 2: Read today's state

Call these tools (in parallel if possible):

1. obsidian_today -- get the daily note content and open tasks
2. obsidian_open_loops -- get all open loops
3. obsidian_delegations -- get pending @claude: instructions

Step 3: Synthesize the briefing

Compose a conversational briefing covering:

• Date and time context (e.g. "It's Tuesday morning")
• Daily note summary -- what's already on today's note
• Open tasks -- count and top 5 most important
• Open loops -- count and the ones that seem most urgent
• Pending delegations -- any @claude: instructions to act on
• Unreviewed drafts -- any agent drafts waiting for review

Keep it concise. Lead with the most actionable items.

Step 4: Write to vault

Call obsidian_log_daily with the briefing formatted as:

## Morning Briefing
**Generated:** {timestamp}

{briefing content}

This sentinel heading (## Morning Briefing) is how the system knows the briefing has run.

Step 5: Offer interaction

After presenting the briefing, ask: "Anything you want to triage, capture, or change before starting your day?"

If the user responds:

• Defer a task: Log a note about deferral to the daily note
• Log an idea: Call obsidian_log_daily with the idea
• Act on a delegation: Execute the delegation instruction
• Create a note: Call obsidian_create_note
• Nothing: Wish them a good day and end
