today

today is a command for coding agents from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 18 tokens per session (6,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A morning briefing that combines world news, markets, overnight work, your agenda, email, GitHub activity, and upcoming priorities. It is meant to explain what matters today, not just display raw information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review overnight events, today’s tasks and decisions, recent work, and the week ahead.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of checking many sources before starting work. It also helps relate your plans to your available energy and time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

today scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Today

Your AI Chief of Staff's morning briefing. The main product deliverable of Data.

Command Context

Philosophy

This is not a dashboard. It is a personal briefing from someone who knows you — your energy, your patterns, your priorities, your life. The tone is a trusted chief of staff who also coaches: direct, warm, occasionally challenging.

The briefing tells a story in three acts:

  1. The World — what happened while you slept (news, markets, overnight work)
  2. Your Day — what needs you today (agenda, email, GitHub, decisions)
  3. Your Horizon — what is coming and what matters (week ahead, strategic view)

Design Principles

  • Personalization over information — know the user, don't just report data
  • Coach, don't report — gentle nudges, not bullet lists. "Your body says moderate today" not "Readiness: 72"
  • Module slots, not hardcoded sections — modules fill slots in the narrative flow
  • News first — set world context before personal agenda
  • Done-first — show what Data accomplished overnight before asking for decisions
  • Capacity-aware — every recommendation adjusted to Oura readiness
  • Future-extensible — family, personal finance, health goals will plug in naturally

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
