Workflow

1. Gather Data (Run in Parallel)

Execute these data gathering operations concurrently:

Weekly Plan (Local)

Read operations/pmo/weekly-plan.md

Extract from "Current Week" section:
- Week dates (e.g., "2026-02-03 to 2026-02-09")
- Epic Focus table (priority, key, title, project, status)
- Tasks This Week checklist
- Commitments list

Emails (Last 2 Days)

# List all accounts first
mcp__gmail__gmail_list_accounts()
mcp__exchange__exchange_list_accounts()

# Then search each account (parallel)
# Gmail: use newer_than:2d or after:YYYY/MM/DD
mcp__gmail__gmail_search(account="<name>", query="newer_than:2d", max_results=50, include_body=true)

# Exchange: use date range
mcp__exchange__exchange_search(account="<name>", query="received>=YYYY-MM-DD", max_results=50, include_body=true)

Slack (Today)

# Search for today's messages across all channels
mcp__slack__conversations_search_messages(filter_date_on="Today", limit=50)

# Or filter by specific channel
mcp__slack__conversations_search_messages(filter_date_on="Today", filter_in_channel="#general", limit=50)

# Filter out automated/bot messages when processing results
# (e.g., ClickUp, Jira, GitHub integrations)

Note: Filter results to exclude high-volume bot notifications (ClickUp, GitHub, etc.) when summarizing. Focus on human messages.

Meetings (Previous Day)

# Search for yesterday's meetings by date
mcp__granola__search_meetings(query="YYYY-MM-DD", limit=20)

# Or search by keyword/participant
mcp__granola__search_meetings(query="standup", limit=10)
mcp__granola__search_meetings(query="Circuit", limit=10)

# Then get details and documents for each meeting
mcp__granola__get_meeting_details(meeting_id="<uuid>")
mcp__granola__get_meeting_documents(meeting_id="<uuid>")

# For recent meetings with transcripts available
mcp__granola__get_meeting_transcript(meeting_id="<uuid>")

Limitation: The local cache MCP doesn't support date-range filtering directly. Search by date string or filter results client-side.

Calendar (Today + Tomorrow)

mcp__calendar__calendar_today(include_details=true)
mcp__calendar__calendar_tomorrow(include_details=true)

2. Process & Categorize

Email Categories

| Category | Criteria | |---|---| | Action Required | Tasks, deadlines, explicit requests | | Response Needed | Questions, meeting requests, approvals | | FYI | Updates, newsletters, notifications |

Focus on emails from the current day for actions, but include previous day for context.

Slack Message Processing

| Category | Criteria | |---|---| | Action Items | Direct requests, tasks assigned to you, urgent items | | Mentions | Messages where you were @mentioned | | Key Discussions | Important conversations in project channels | | Skip | Bot messages (ClickUp, GitHub, Jira), automated notifications |

Group messages by channel and highlight threads that need your response.

Meeting Extraction

For each meeting, extract:

• Summary — 2-3 sentence overview
• Key Decisions — What was decided
• Action Items — Tasks with owners if available
• Follow-ups — Next steps or scheduled follow-ups

Calendar Preparation

For each event, note:

• Time — Start time and duration
• Title — Event name
• Location/Link — Physical location or meeting URL
• Attendees — Key participants (if included)
• Prep needed — Flag if meeting needs preparation

Date Calculations

For a digest run on February 7, 2026:

• Today: 2026-02-07
• Tomorrow: 2026-02-08
• Yesterday (meetings): 2026-02-06
• Email range: 2026-02-05 to 2026-02-07

Gmail Date Queries

newer_than:2d
# OR
after:2026/02/05 before:2026/02/08

Exchange Date Queries

received:2026-02-05..2026-02-07
# OR
received>=2026-02-05

Granola Meeting Search

# Search by date (returns meetings containing that date in title/content)
mcp__granola__search_meetings(query="2026-02-06", limit=20)

# Search by keyword
mcp__granola__search_meetings(query="standup", limit=10)

# Filter results by date in your code after retrieval

Note: The proofgeist MCP doesn't support native date-range filtering. Search broadly and filter results by checking meeting dates in the response.

Tips

• Weekly plan first: The weekly focus section anchors the day — what Epics matter this week?
• Cross-reference: Link emails and meetings to weekly Epics when relevant (e.g., "relates to CIR-13")
• Parallel fetching: Fetch emails, meetings, and calendar simultaneously for speed
• Email volume: If >100 emails, focus on non-newsletter, non-promotional content
• Meeting priority: Prioritize meetings with action items in the summary
• Calendar prep: Flag events happening in the next 2 hours as needing immediate attention
• No weekly plan? If operations/pmo/weekly-plan.md is empty, suggest running /weekly-plan

Error Handling

• Weekly plan missing/empty → Show "No weekly plan set. Run /weekly-plan to prioritize your Epics."
• MCP not connected → Skip that section, note in output
• No meetings found → State "No meetings recorded for [date]"
• No transcript available → Note "Transcript not in local cache (older meeting)"
• No emails found → State "No new emails in the past 2 days"
• Slack MCP not connected → Skip section, note in output
• No Slack messages → State "No Slack messages today"
• Calendar empty → State "No scheduled events"

Granola Local Cache Limitations

The proofgeist Granola MCP reads from local cache only:

• All meeting metadata is available (~300+ meetings)
• Only ~15 recent meetings have transcripts cached
• Older transcripts are stored in AWS and not accessible via this MCP
• For older meetings, use get_meeting_documents instead of get_meeting_transcript

Optional Enhancements

If user requests, also include:

• Weather — Current conditions and forecast
• Task list — Open tasks from project management tools
• News — Industry-relevant headlines
