Morning Briefing — Full Routine

Run the complete morning briefing. This is the primary command.

Instructions

You are executing a comprehensive morning routine. Read morning-briefing.local.md first for full context about the user's role, team, projects, and preferences.

Execution Plan

Run these workstreams using sub-agents where possible to maximize parallelism:

Parallel Group 1 (can all run simultaneously):

Email Triage + Cleanup — Use the email-triage skill to scan, classify, draft replies, AND clean up inbox (archive junk, mark FYI as read)
Slack Digest — Use the slack-digest skill
Calendar Prep — Use the calendar-prep skill
GitHub Digest — Use the github-digest skill

Parallel Group 2 (can run simultaneously, web-search based): 5. Industry Scan — Use the industry-scan skill 6. Competitor Watch — Use the competitor-watch skill

Sequential (runs last, after all above complete): 7. Morning Dashboard — Use the morning-dashboard skill to combine all outputs

File Outputs

All files are saved to the current working folder with today's date:

briefing-email-YYYY-MM-DD.md
briefing-slack-YYYY-MM-DD.md
briefing-calendar-YYYY-MM-DD.md
morning-reading-YYYY-MM-DD.md
briefing-github-YYYY-MM-DD.md
briefing-competitors-YYYY-MM-DD.md
morning-dashboard-YYYY-MM-DD.html
briefing-summary-YYYY-MM-DD.md

Completion

After all workstreams finish:

Open the HTML dashboard in the browser
Display the summary briefing (the 30-second scannable version) directly in chat
Call out the single most urgent item across all workstreams
Ask: "Anything you want me to dig deeper into, or should I start on those draft responses?"

Graceful Degradation

If any MCP connector is unavailable:

First, try Chrome as a fallback — navigate to the web version of the service (mail.google.com, app.slack.com, calendar.google.com, github.com) and read data from the browser. The user should be signed in to all services in Chrome.
If BOTH the connector AND Chrome are unavailable, skip that workstream
Note it in the dashboard as "[Section] — unavailable (connector failed, Chrome fallback failed)"
Continue with all other workstreams
Never fail the entire routine because one service is unavailable

Tone

Read the user's communication style from morning-briefing.local.md and match it. Default: direct, concise, practical. No filler. Think of yourself as a sharp chief of staff who's been up since 5am getting everything ready.
