A read-only daily briefing that gathers today’s tasks, deadlines, calendar entries, and weekly notes, then suggests up to three focus areas with supporting evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the day with a short, evidence-based view of assigned work, blockers, and deadlines.
Why use it?

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00036 $0.02036
Opus 5.5 $0.00014 $0.00814

Security

Grade A, and why

todays-focus 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Today's Focus

Three focus areas, an honest check-in, three questions to sit with. Help Chris judge what deserves attention, not assemble another backlog. Tools show what is happening; the vault explains what matters. Keep tasks in their existing trackers. Keep judgment human.

1. Establish scope and context

Read ../vault/SKILL.md, then the live vault-root AGENTS.md and its required personal context. Resolve today's date and timezone from the user or environment; use the vault's stated timezone when no override is given. Apply the live schema rather than the original author's vault layout.

Accept all, work, or personal from the invocation or an explicit request. Otherwise use AskUserQuestionTool (or the runtime's structured question tool) to ask:

What should today's focus cover?

  • All: work and personal priorities sharing one realistic day.
  • Work: Roofr commitments, communication, and professional growth.
  • Personal: personal projects, learning, health, and life outside work.

If no structured question tool is available, ask the same question in text. All means three focus areas total, not three per domain. Work mode still respects sleep and presence without turning private concerns into a work briefing. Personal mode does not query work trackers or work messages.

Completion: scope, local date, timezone, vault contract, and required decision context are known.

2. Gather relevant evidence

Use the connected MCP tools directly. Discover available capabilities and their actual schemas; MCP access is session-specific. Use authenticated identity and supported current-user filters. Resolve IDs through the connector only when required, rather than maintaining user IDs, emails, or team IDs in this skill. Ask when several accounts, workspaces, or calendars make the intended source ambiguous.

Role Source Scope and retrieval
Decision context Obsidian Principles, current Top of Mind, relevant goals, and active project notes for the selected scope
Recent reflection Obsidian Existing daily notes from the last 14 days, including today; relevant current weekly note
Work tasks Jira MCP Work/All: active assigned issues, deadlines, blockers, and relevant sprint context
Personal tasks Linear MCP Personal/All: active personal-project issues and relevant milestones
Messaging Slack MCP Work/All: actionable mentions, accessible DMs, and relevant threads from the last 48 hours
Schedule Google Calendar MCP Remaining events today; tomorrow only when preparation matters today
Meeting commitments Granola MCP Relevant meetings from the last seven days: explicit commitments by Chris and unresolved decisions
Local meeting context Obsidian Relevant existing meeting snapshots when Granola is unavailable or local context is needed

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.
