A morning briefing workflow that gathers unfinished tasks, weekly priorities, high-priority content ideas, inbox items, and optional calendar or repository activity. It turns these sources into one focused daily view.

Use it to prepare a daily focus list showing calendar events, carry-over tasks, weekly priorities, content ideas, inbox counts, and repository activity when available.

It reduces the need to check several files and systems before deciding what deserves attention.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00012	$0.00471
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00188
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00094
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00047

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 8fec7d021d1e, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

morning 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 2mo 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 it actually says

Morning brain shouldn't decide priorities. Systems decide. This command curates everything into one focused view.

WAVE 0: Gather Data (ALL PARALLEL)

#	Tool	Call	Purpose
1	Read	`02_Journal/daily/{YESTERDAY}.md`	Carry-over tasks from "## Tomorrow" section
2	Read	`02_Journal/weekly/week-{YEAR}-W{WEEK_NUM}.md`	MITs + weekly goal
3	Grep	`priority: [12]` in `05_Areas/content-creation/ideas/`	High-priority content ideas
4	Glob	`01_Inbox/*.md`	Count unprocessed inbox clips

Compute dates mentally (you know today's date from system context).

WAVE 1: Optional Integrations (PARALLEL)

Only run these if the tools are available:

#	Tool	When	Purpose
1	Calendar integration	If configured	Today's events
2	Filesystem search	`~/Programming/**/.git` (maxdepth 3)	Discover local repos for activity check

WAVE 2: Render (NO tool calls)

Combine all results:

# Morning Focus - {WEEKDAY}, {TODAY}

## Today's Calendar
{events if calendar available, or "No calendar configured"}

## Must Do (from yesterday)
{tasks from "Tomorrow" section, or "No carry-over" if empty}

## Weekly MITs Progress
{numbered MITs with completion status}

## Creative Opportunities
{top 2-3 content ideas from grep}
Inbox: {n} clips pending

## Suggested Focus Order
1. Morning: {highest priority task}
2. Midday: {deep work}
3. Afternoon: {creative/content}

Rules

Terminal output ONLY. No file creation.
Skip sections with no data rather than showing "N/A"
Keep it scannable, this should take 30 seconds to read
Do NOT add intermediate messages between waves

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.
