I want a morning brief of my pending tasks and inbox

A one-screen morning brief that surfaces open loops, pending replies, and what needs you today.

A one-screen morning brief that surfaces open loops, pending replies, and the three things that actually need you today.

The prompt

Paste this into Claude Code
$ Give me my morning brief.

What the Algorithm does

ChiefOfStaff owns the morning ritual. It loads your principal profile and processing rules, pulls inbox and calendar context through whatever MCP tools are available (Gmail, Calendar), and composes a brief against your living commitment ledger — specifically surfacing aging open loops that are hitting the day-12 circle-back line.

What you get back

A one-screen morning brief: today's meetings with any pre-meeting dossier links, overnight inbox triaged into the four-bucket model (reply, delegate, read, archive), and an aging open-loops section calling out commitments hitting the day-12 circle-back line. Drafts for replies that ChiefOfStaff knows your rules permit are ready in Gmail as drafts, never sent.

Variations

  • Just the meetings, skip the inbox
  • Brief me for the whole week, not just today
  • Prep me for my 2pm meeting specifically
  • Show me every open commitment, not just the aging ones
