start-day

start-day is a command for Claude Code from ParkerM2/create-claude-workflow. It costs 50 tokens per session (4,675 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A morning briefing command that summarizes yesterday's shipped work, missed notifications, today's tasks, and suggested priorities. It can use Git and task files on its own, with extra information from Slack, Jira, or GitHub when connected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent commits, tasks, progress files, sprint tickets, and mentions, with options to refresh data or skip initial setup.
Why use it?
It replaces checking several work systems separately with one starting-point summary for the day.

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

start-day 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 3d ago.

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.

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.
