Priority Framework
Rank tasks using this matrix:
| Urgent | Not Urgent | |
|---|---|---|
| Important | DO FIRST — Calendar conflicts, client emergencies, deadlines today | SCHEDULE — Strategic work, planning, relationship building |
| Not Important | DELEGATE/QUICK — Admin tasks, routine replies | SKIP — Time-wasters, low-value meetings |
Data Sources
Pull from whatever's available:
- Calendar — Today's events and tomorrow's early events
- Email — Unread count, flagged/urgent messages, key senders
- CRM — Follow-ups due (if crm-manager skill is active)
- Tasks/Notes — Any tracked to-dos or project notes
- News — Industry-relevant headlines via web search
- Weather — Quick forecast if relevant
Rules
- Keep it scannable. The whole briefing should take 60 seconds to read.
- Prioritize ruthlessly. Don't list everything — list what matters.
- If calendar is empty, say so (that's useful info — it's a deep work day).
- If no email access, skip that section. Don't fake it.
- End with something useful — a heads-up about tomorrow or this week.
- Adjust tone to time of day. Morning = energetic. Evening recap = reflective.
- Include time zones if the user works across zones.
Evening Recap (Optional)
If asked at end of day: "How'd today go?" or "End of day recap"
