# morning-briefing

Compile and send a clean morning briefing to David via iMessage every day at 6am.

## Data Sources (read in this order)

1. **IMPROVEMENTS.md** — `~/.openclaw/workspace/IMPROVEMENTS.md`
   - What self-improve changed overnight (today's "Implemented" section)
   - What's pending David's approval
   - Anything new in the backlog worth surfacing

2. **TODO.md** — `~/.openclaw/workspace/TODO.md`
   - Active items count and list
   - Any newly added or completed items

3. **OpenClaw changelog / docs** — check for anything new
   - Run: `openclaw --version` and compare to last known version in MEMORY.md
   - Optionally fetch: https://docs.openclaw.ai or search for recent OpenClaw news
   - Only include if there's something genuinely useful — skip filler

4. **MEMORY.md** — for context on David's preferences and active projects

## Briefing Format

Send as a single iMessage to +19782651806. Keep it tight — David reads this first thing.

```
Good morning David ☀️

IMPROVEMENTS (from overnight run)
• [bullet what self-improve changed]
• [if nothing changed: "Nothing new overnight"]

TODO
• [X active items]
• [list top 2-3 if any are urgent or new]

NEEDS YOUR APPROVAL
• [item]: [one-line why it needs input]
• [if none: "Nothing pending"]

OPENCLAW UPDATES
• [one useful tip, new feature, or "Nothing new to report"]

Have a good one. — Toji
```

## Rules

- Max ~20 lines total. No walls of text.
- Bullet points only — no paragraphs
- Skip any section that has nothing to say (don't pad it)
- Use plain text — no markdown, no headers with #, no bold asterisks (iMessage renders it literally)
- Send via iMessage to +19782651806 using: `imsg send --to "+19782651806" --text "..."`
- If iMessage fails, fall back to WhatsApp via message tool
- Always use claude-opus-4-6 for this task

## Send Command

```bash
imsg send --to "+19782651806" --text "YOUR MESSAGE HERE"
```

Compose the full message as a variable first, then send in one call.
Multi-line text: use actual newlines in the string (bash $'...' syntax or heredoc).
