Create today's daily note with GitHub work items and recent vault context.

Step 1: Gather GitHub Data

Run these gh api queries (all repos):

# Assigned issues (with links)
gh api 'search/issues?q=assignee:@me+is:open+is:issue' --jq '.items[] | "[\(.repository_url | split("/") | .[-1])#\(.number)](\(.html_url)): \(.title)"'

# PRs requesting your review (with links)
gh api 'search/issues?q=review-requested:@me+is:open+is:pr' --jq '.items[] | "[\(.repository_url | split("/") | .[-1])#\(.number)](\(.html_url)): \(.title)"'

# Your open PRs (with links)
gh api 'search/issues?q=author:@me+is:open+is:pr' --jq '.items[] | "[\(.repository_url | split("/") | .[-1])#\(.number)](\(.html_url)): \(.title)"'

Step 2: Gather Jira Data

Use the Atlassian MCP to fetch Jira tickets assigned to the user:

1. Get user info with atlassianUserInfo to get accountId
2. Get cloud resources with getAccessibleAtlassianResources to get cloudId
3. Search for assigned issues with searchJiraIssuesUsingJql:
   • JQL: assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done ORDER BY priority DESC
   • Format as: - [ ] [KEY-123](https://flocasts.atlassian.net/browse/KEY-123): title

Fallback: If the Atlassian MCP fails, use the Jira REST API with curl:

curl -s -u "$(jira me):$JIRA_API_TOKEN" \
  "https://flocasts.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search/jql?jql=assignee%3DcurrentUser()%20AND%20status%21%3DDone%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC&fields=key,summary" \
  | jq -r '.issues[] | "- [ ] [\(.key)](https://flocasts.atlassian.net/browse/\(.key)): \(.fields.summary)"'

Step 3: Gather Google Calendar Meetings

Use the Google Calendar MCP to fetch today's meetings:

1. Call gcal_list_events with:
   • timeMin: today at 00:00 (RFC3339 without timezone, e.g., 2026-01-09T00:00:00)
   • timeMax: today at 23:59 (RFC3339 without timezone, e.g., 2026-01-09T23:59:59)
   • maxResults: 20
2. Format each meeting as: - [ ] HH:MM - Event summary
3. Sort by start time

Step 4: Gather Recent Notes

Find recent notes in ~/obsidian/Notes/:

Daily notes (YYYY-MM-DD.md): last 3 days Other notes: last 3 days if Monday, otherwise yesterday only

Read the found notes and extract:

• Uncompleted tasks (lines starting with - [ ]) from TODOs sections
• Completed PR/issue items (lines with - [x] containing GitHub links like repo#123)

Step 5: Create Daily Note

Create or append to ~/obsidian/Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

## Start Day

#start-day

### Meetings

- [ ] HH:MM - Meeting from Google Calendar

### TODOs

- [ ] task from previous notes
- [ ] another incomplete task

### Jira Tickets

- [ ] [KEY-123](https://flocasts.atlassian.net/browse/KEY-123): ticket title
      (Exclude items checked off in previous notes. "None" if empty after
      filtering.)

### PRs to Review

- [ ] [repo#456](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/456): pr title (Exclude items
      checked off in previous notes. "None" if empty after filtering.)

### My Open PRs

- [repo#789](https://github.com/org/repo/pull/789): pr title (Exclude items
  checked off in previous notes. "None" if empty after filtering.)

Guidelines

• Keep output minimal and scannable
• Use checkboxes for actionable items (except My Open PRs, no checkbox needed)
• Omit empty sections or mark as "None"
• Filter out PRs/issues that were checked off (- [x]) in previous notes (match by repo#number)
• Create file with # Journal YYYY-MM-DD header if it doesn't exist
• Confirm creation by echoing the file path
