morning-brief

morning-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only morning summary for a GitHub repository, showing work queues, pull requests ready to merge, waiting decisions, and recent automation status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review issue queues, find merge-ready pull requests, check recommended decisions, and see whether automated work is up to date.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run several GitHub command-line queries by hand before starting the day.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

morning-brief 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (morning-brief.test.sh, scripts/morning-brief.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-computed context

Variables

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

The 30-60 minute operator morning pass begins with the same hand-run gh queries every day. This skill collapses them into a single 5-second picture for the current repo, so the pass starts from a complete view instead of ad-hoc lookups.

Read-only and gh-based. It runs only gh read queries and never mutates labels, comments, issues, or PRs. Owner/repo is derived from gh repo view (never hardcoded), so it is reusable across repos.

Run it

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/morning-brief/scripts/morning-brief.sh" $ARGUMENTS

Print the script's output verbatim. It is already the deliverable. Do not re-query the sections by hand.

What each section reports

Section Source Notes
Queues gh issue list --label <queue> counts Defaults to melodic-software queue labels; live runs filter to labels that exist in the repo (pass --queue-labels to pin a custom set)
Merge-ready PRs gh pr list filtered to non-draft + mergeStateStatus=CLEAN A light glance signal; reviewDecision shown but not required (repos without required review leave it empty)
Parked decisions open issues with the decision label (default status: needs-decision) Surfaces each one's RECOMMENDED line, the uppercase marker wins over an incidental lowercase mention; a case-insensitive fallback catches lowercase markers; pass --decision-label to pin
Lane telemetry the loop-lane telemetry issue's per-lane comments Each lane's last-cycle age (marked STALE past --stale-hours, default 6) and any flags:
Stranded findings merged PRs whose unresolved review threads were created after the merge One line per PR at its worst severity, with a finding count; window is --stranded-days, default 3

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
