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-my-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 12d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Today's date: $TODAY Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (optional — see variations: week)

If $ARGUMENTS == "week" → use Week Overview variation.


Default: Full Morning Briefing

Step 0: Refresh Index

Run qmd update && qmd embed to ensure semantic search reflects any content added since last session.

Step 1: Calendar Agenda

  1. Fetch today's calendar agenda using available calendar tools.
  2. Filter out multi-day all-day events. Single-day all-day events can be shown as context above the table.
  3. Present as a table with columns: Time, Event
    • For events where you are marked as optional, append *(you're optional)* to the event name in italics
  4. After the table, add a single "A few things to note:" section with bullets covering:
    • Any cancelled or declined meetings (include who declined and their reason/proposed new time if available)
    • Free blocks — gaps of 30+ minutes between meetings within 9am–5pm (mention duration)
    • Density observations — if there's a packed stretch of back-to-back meetings, call it out (e.g. "Your morning is fairly packed back-to-back from 9:30 to 11:30")
    • Any scheduling conflicts (overlapping events)
    • Only include bullets that are relevant — don't pad with filler

Step 2: Focus Check

Rules:

  • Detection: event has eventType == focusTime OR title contains "focus" or "deep work" (case-insensitive)
  • Counting: labeled focus blocks + open gaps ≥60min within 9am–5pm, excluding lunch and personal events (school, OOO, personal appointments)
  • Daily target: 2–3h minimum
  • Action model: flag + propose batch — never write to calendar without explicit approval
  • Conflict-fix order: (1) propose moving your focus block to the next open same-day ≥60min slot; (2) if no open slot exists, flag the conflicting meeting and note if you are optional on it
  1. Sum today's focus hours using detection + counting rules above
  2. Check if any meeting overlaps a focus block
  3. If at risk (projected <2h) or a conflict exists:
    • Generate proposed fixes as a numbered batch
    • Show FOCUS section with summary + proposals
    • Ask "Approve all, pick numbers, or skip?" — wait before any calendar write
  4. If today looks protected (≥2h secured), note it briefly in the FOCUS section and move on

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.
