Overview
The first hour of the day shouldn’t be spent reconstructing what happened while you were gone. This preset delivers a complete morning brief before you’ve finished your coffee: what the team did yesterday, what’s still in flight, and who won’t be around.
What this is for
This preset solves the morning catch-up problem. Every day starts with the same ritual: scanning Slack, opening GitHub, skimming check-ins, trying to piece together where things stand. It takes twenty minutes on a good day, and you still miss things. Meanwhile the questions that actually matter, like whether yesterday’s plan held and who’s available today, go unanswered until they surprise you.
The Morning brief preset does the scan for you. Every morning at 7:00, you get a summary of yesterday’s check-ins and merged pull requests, the intentions that look unfinished and likely to carry into today, and a heads-up on who’s out. One read and you’re oriented for the day.
Who should use this
Team leads who want to start the day with context instead of collecting it. You’ll know what happened and what’s planned before your first conversation.
Managers in distributed teams whose reports finish their day while you sleep. You’ll wake up to a digest of everything that happened across time zones instead of scrolling backwards through channels.
Anyone returning from a day off who needs to catch up fast. You’ll get the full picture in one brief instead of an hour of archaeology.
The prompt
Give me a morning brief for the [ team name ] team: summarize yesterday's check-ins and merged pull requests, list any intentions from yesterday that appear unfinished, and note who is out today.
