Daily Brief

Start-of-day ceremony. No agent needed — this is a pure query + synthesis skill. Present the user with a prioritized view of what needs attention today.

The workspace is set automatically. Use clotho_set_workspace if needed.

Step 1: Quick check-in

Ask:

"Good morning. Anything new before we look at the day?"

Handle any quick input, then proceed.

Step 2: Gather state (all automated queries)

Run these queries in parallel:

Inbox

Use Bash to: ls -la <workspace_path>/.clotho/inbox/ 2>/dev/null

Blocked tasks

clotho_list_entities(state: "blocked")

For each blocked task, get what's blocking it:

clotho_get_relations(entity_id: "<blocked_task_id>")

Active tasks

clotho_list_entities(state: "doing")

Todo tasks (check for stale)

clotho_list_entities(state: "todo")

Open questions and active risks

clotho_list_entities(entity_type: "Question")
clotho_list_entities(entity_type: "Risk")

Step 3: Synthesize and present

Present in this priority order:

1. Inbox Alert (if items)

"You have N unprocessed items in your inbox."

2. Blocked Items (highest urgency)

"Blocked:

• [task title] — blocked by: [blocker title]
• ..."

3. Due Today / This Week

If deadline data is available in entity metadata, surface items due today and this week.

4. In Progress

"In progress:

• [task title]
• ..."

5. Due This Week (horizon from last debrief)

Surface items with upcoming deadlines.

6. Open Questions / Active Risks

"Needs attention:

• [Question] How do we handle session store migration?
• [Risk] Database migration may cause downtime"

7. Stale Items

Flag todo tasks created more than 7 days ago:

"Stale (>7 days in todo):

• [task title] (created N days ago)"

Done

End with:

"That's your day. What do you want to tackle first?"

No sync needed — this is read-only.
