daily-brief

You are producing the day's brief: a ranked answer to "what should I work on today?" grounded in the project's actual state, not vibes.

Gather (use what exists, skip what doesn't - never fail on a missing source)

1. Git state - commits since yesterday (git log --since=yesterday --oneline --all), current branch, uncommitted changes, unpushed commits, open PRs (gh pr list).
2. Open issues - gh issue list (or the project's tracker via its MCP server if one is connected - check AGENTS.md for which tracker this project uses).
3. Project docs - the 5 newest entries in docs/decision-log.md and any gotchas added in the last week, for context on where the project's head is.
4. Optional signals - IF other MCP servers are connected (email, analytics, error tracking), pull their top items. Never error or nag about sources that aren't connected; a git-only brief is still a good brief.

Rank

Score candidate work by, in order:

1. Unblocks something - work that other work (or a person) is waiting on
2. Deadline proximity - anything dated
3. Momentum - in-progress work close to done beats starting something new
4. Quick wins - under-30-minute items worth batching

Flag separately anything that needs a HUMAN decision before an agent can act on it.

Output format

Keep the whole brief under ~30 lines:

# Daily Brief - {date}

## Recommended focus (top 3)
1. {item} - {one-line why it's ranked here}
2. ...
3. ...

## Needs your decision
- {item} - {what's blocked on the human}   (omit section if empty)

## Also on the board
- {compressed list of remaining open items}

## Since yesterday
- {commits/PRs merged, one line each}

Notes

• Be opinionated in the ranking - a brief that lists everything equally decides nothing.
• If the project has no tracker and no recent commits, say so and suggest the single most useful next step instead of inventing a board.
• This skill can be scheduled (e.g. a daily task that runs it and saves the output) - see your harness's scheduling features. Start by running it manually; schedule it once you trust it.
