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"
