# Morning Briefing Workflow

## Overview

Generates a daily morning briefing and delivers it three ways:
1. **Terminal**: Summary displayed immediately
2. **Obsidian**: Full briefing saved to daily note
3. **Email**: Briefing text + audio podcast attachment

## Location

- **Gig Harbor, WA** - Use for weather queries

## Phase 1: Gather Data

Execute these data gathering steps:

### 1.1 Calendar (Today's Events)

```bash
cd /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/google-workspace && bun calendar/list_events.js psd --today
```

Returns JSON with today's events including:
- Event summary, location, start/end times
- Attendees and response status
- Hangout/meet links

**Account**: Use `psd` for work calendar

### 1.2 OmniFocus Tasks (Due & Flagged)

```bash
osascript -l JavaScript /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/morning-briefing/scripts/get_due_flagged.js
```

Returns tasks that are:
- Due today or overdue
- Flagged
- Available (not blocked, not deferred to future)

### 1.3 Recent Emails (Last 24 Hours)

```bash
# Get yesterday's date in Gmail query format
YESTERDAY=$(date -v-1d +%Y/%m/%d)
cd /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/google-workspace && bun gmail/list_messages.js psd --query "in:inbox after:$YESTERDAY" --max 15
```

Returns recent inbox messages with:
- From, subject, date, snippet
- Whether read or unread
- Thread ID for context
- Labels array

**Filtering**: Only show emails still in inbox (not already labeled/processed).
- Emails with custom labels (Label_XXXXX) have been sorted and should be excluded
- Exception: Include emails with SaneCC or SaneLater labels (worth knowing about)
- System labels (UNREAD, INBOX, CATEGORY_*, IMPORTANT) don't count as "processed"

**Philosophy**: Any email still in inbox from last 24 hours needs attention, read or not.

**Account**: Use `psd` for work email

### 1.4 Open Freshservice Tickets

```bash
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/list_tickets.js '{"workspace_id": 2, "filter": "new_and_my_open"}'

### 1.10 Technology Team EOD Messages (Last Business Day) - DETAILED

Get end-of-day check-in messages from the Technology Staff space:

```bash
cd /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/google-workspace && bun chat/get_eod_messages.js psd spaces/AAAAxOtpv10 last-business-day
```

**CRITICAL - NO HALLUCINATION:**
- ONLY use names that appear in the `sender` field of the script output
- If script returns no messages, say "No EOD messages found"
- If script returns messages with sender IDs instead of names, display the ID (e.g., "users/12345...")
- NEVER invent names, locations, or accomplishments
- Copy-paste approach: treat script output as source of truth

**Before extracting team data:**
1. Examine the raw JSON output from the script
2. List the exact `sender` values returned
3. Use ONLY those names - no paraphrasing, no "improving"

**CRITICAL**: Extract FULL details from each team member's EOD message. Look for messages that contain "Today:" prefix - these are the detailed EOD summaries.

For each team member who posted an EOD summary:
1. **Name**: Who posted (use EXACTLY the name from `sender` field)
2. **Location(s)**: Where they worked (WFH, DCRC, school sites)
3. **Key accomplishments**: Specific tasks completed (not just "tickets")
4. **Notable items**: Interesting problems solved, projects worked on
5. **Issues/blockers**: Any problems mentioned

**Example extraction from raw message:**
```
Brad White:
- Location: TSD (Tech Services)
- Accomplished: Packaged Cinema 4D plugin for deployment, fixed OAuth blocking for Maxon App sign-in, created SwiftDialog notification for plugin installs, used Claude Code for first time to create Installomator label for Godot game engine
- Notable: Working on Unity deployment troubleshooting, burning comp time leaving early
```

**Note**: If today is Monday, "last business day" = Friday (or Thursday if Friday was a holiday).

### 1.10b Safety & Security Team EOD Messages (Last Business Day)

Get end-of-day check-in messages from the Safety & Security Staff space:

```bash
cd /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/google-workspace && bun chat/get_eod_messages.js psd spaces/AAAAFpQaAnA last-business-day
```

**Space**: PSD Safety & Security Team

**CRITICAL - NO HALLUCINATION:**
- ONLY use names that appear in the `sender` field of the script output
- If script returns no messages, say "No EOD messages found"
- If script returns messages with sender IDs (e.g., "users/12345...") instead of names:
  - Display as: **Unknown (users/123456...)** - [Location from message content]
  - Add note: "Name not in mapping - update chat_user_mapping.json"
- NEVER invent names, locations, or accomplishments
- Copy-paste approach: treat script output as source of truth

**Before extracting team data:**
1. Examine the raw JSON output from the script
2. List the exact `sender` values returned
3. Use ONLY those names - no paraphrasing, no "improving"

Extract using same format as Technology Team - names, locations, accomplishments, issues.

**Note**: If today is Monday, "last business day" = Friday (or Thursday if Friday was a holiday).

### 1.11 Team Completed Tickets (Last Business Day)

Get tickets closed by the Technology team on the last business day:

```bash
# First get the last business day
LAST_BIZ_DAY=$(bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/morning-briefing/scripts/get_last_business_day.js | jq -r '.date')

# Then get daily summary for that date
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/get_daily_summary.js "$LAST_BIZ_DAY"
```

**CRITICAL - NO HALLUCINATION:**
- ONLY use agent names that appear in the `byAgent` section of script output
- Use EXACTLY the ticket counts returned by the script
- NEVER invent names or ticket counts
- If an agent's name shows as ID or email, display it as-is

**Before reporting ticket stats:**
1. Examine the raw JSON output from `get_daily_summary.js`
2. List the exact agent names from `byAgent` field
3. Use ONLY those names and counts

Returns:
- Total tickets closed
- Breakdown by agent
- Breakdown by category (Password Reset, Chromebook, etc.)
- Automated vs agent-resolved

**Workspace**: Technology (workspace_id: 2)

### 1.12 Ticket Trends Analysis

Compare last business day to previous days for trends:

```bash
# Get last 5 business days of summaries for trend analysis
# The get_daily_summary.js script supports date parsing
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/get_daily_summary.js "last monday"
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/get_daily_summary.js "last tuesday"
# etc.
```

Analyze for:
- Volume trends (increasing/decreasing)
- Category spikes (sudden increase in specific issue types)
- Agent workload distribution
- Unusual patterns

### 1.13 Software Development Workspace Tickets

Get open tickets in the Software Development workspace:

```bash
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/freshservice-manager/scripts/search_tickets.js "status:2 OR status:3" 13
```

Returns all open (status:2) and pending (status:3) tickets in the Software Development workspace.

**Workspace ID**: 13 (Software Development)
**Note**: This is the user's internal software development bug tracker for AI Studio and other PSD applications.

### 1.14 Legislative Activity (Last Business Day)

Get K-12 education bills with activity since the last business day:

```bash
# Get lookback info and bills to check
bun /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/legislative-tracker/scripts/get_recent_bill_activity.js --last-business-day
```

This returns:
- Date range to check (last business day → today)
- List of ~143 confirmed education bill IDs
- WebFetch instructions for each bill

**Workflow:**
1. Get the output from `get_recent_bill_activity.js`
2. WebFetch each bill URL (batch 5-6 in parallel for speed)
3. Extract latest action date from each bill page
4. Filter to bills where latest_action_date >= lookback_start
5. Apply priority framework (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on district impact)
6. Include summary of what each bill does

**On Monday**: Lookback starts on Friday (or earlier if Friday was a holiday), so includes all weekend activity (hearings, votes, committee actions).

**Example URLs to WebFetch:**
- `https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1020&Year=2025`
- `https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5038&Year=2025`

**Note**: Only include bills that actually had activity. If no bills moved, output "No legislative activity since [date]".

### 2.3 Generate Podcast Script (Extended Format)

Transform the briefing into a comprehensive conversational audio script:
- First person, casual professional tone
- **10-15 minutes speaking time (~1500-2000 words)**
- Address listener directly ("Here's what you need to know today...")

**Required Sections (in order):**

1. **Opening** (~100 words)
   - Day, date, weather summary
   - Quick preview of key items

2. **Calendar & Schedule** (~150 words)

   - Overall ticket closure stats

   **CRITICAL - NO HALLUCINATION:**
   - Use ONLY names from the script output `sender` fields
   - Use ONLY ticket counts from the `get_daily_summary.js` output
   - If script returned no messages, say "No EOD messages were posted"
   - NEVER invent names, locations, or accomplishments

- Transition smoothly between sections
- Add brief commentary/analysis on news items

Save to `/tmp/morning_briefing_podcast.txt`

## Phase 3: Create Podcast

```bash
uv run --with mlx-audio --with pydub /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/local-tts/scripts/generate_audio.py \
  --file /tmp/morning_briefing_podcast.txt \
  --voice af_heart \
  --output ~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].mp3
```

**Voice Selection**: af_heart (warm, friendly - good for morning briefing)
**Note**: Uses local MLX TTS (Kokoro model) - no API costs

## Phase 3.5: Generate Infographic (MANDATORY)

**CRITICAL:** The infographic MUST be generated. Do not skip this phase.

Create a visual summary infographic using the image-gen skill.

### 3.5.1 Build Infographic Prompt

Based on gathered data, construct a prompt for the infographic:

```
Create an infographic summarizing a daily work briefing for [DATE].

Visual concept: A clean dashboard layout with distinct sections for different data categories.

Key data to display:
- Weather: [conditions], High [X]°F, Low [Y]°F
- Calendar: [X] events today, highlight: [key meeting]
- Tasks: [X] overdue, [Y] due today, [Z] flagged
- Tickets: [X] Technology open, [Y] Software Dev open
- Team Activity: [X] tickets closed by team yesterday
- Emails: [X] in inbox from last 24h

Style: Professional, clean design with PSD brand colors (navy blue #003366, gold accent #FFD700).
Flat design, clear sections, modern sans-serif typography.

Layout: Horizontal 16:9, organized as a dashboard with weather top-left, calendar top-right,
tasks and tickets in middle row, team stats at bottom.

Title: "Daily Briefing - [DATE]"
Subtitle: "Gig Harbor, WA"
```

### 3.5.2 Generate Image

```bash
uv run /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/image-gen/scripts/generate.py \
  "[infographic prompt]" \
  ~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].png \
  16:9 \
  2K
```

**Settings:**
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (landscape dashboard)
- Size: 2K (ensures text readability)
- Output: `~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].png`

## Phase 4: Save to Obsidian

### 4.1 Copy Infographic to Obsidian Assets

```bash
cp ~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].png \
  ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal_Notes/Geoffrey/Daily\ Briefings/assets/
```

### 4.2 Add Infographic to Briefing Markdown

At the top of the briefing (after the title), add:

```markdown
![Daily Briefing Infographic](assets/morning_briefing_[DATE].png)
```

### 4.3 Save Briefing File

Use Obsidian MCP tools:

1. **Check if daily note exists**:
   ```
   mcp__obsidian-vault__get_vault_file
   filename: "Geoffrey/Daily Briefings/[YYYY-MM-DD].md"
   ```

2. **Create or update**:
   ```
   mcp__obsidian-vault__create_vault_file
   filename: "Geoffrey/Daily Briefings/[YYYY-MM-DD].md"
   content: [full briefing markdown with infographic embed]
   ```

**File path pattern**: `Geoffrey/Daily Briefings/YYYY-MM-DD.md`

**Fallback** (if MCP unavailable): Write directly to iCloud path:
```bash
/Users/hagelk/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal_Notes/Geoffrey/Daily Briefings/[YYYY-MM-DD].md
```

## Phase 5: Send Email (HTML with Inline Infographic)

### 5.1 Generate HTML Email Body

Create a professional HTML email (NOT markdown). Use the template at `skills/morning-briefing/templates/email.html` as reference.

**Key HTML structure:**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
    body { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif; max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; }
    .header { text-align: center; border-bottom: 2px solid #003366; padding: 16px; }
    .stat-box { background: #f8f9fa; padding: 12px; text-align: center; }
    /* ... more styles from template ... */
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- Infographic at TOP - referenced via cid:briefing_image -->
  <img src="cid:briefing_image" alt="Daily Briefing" style="width: 100%; max-width: 600px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 20px;">

  <div class="header">
    <h1 style="color: #003366;">Daily Briefing</h1>
    <p>[DAY_OF_WEEK], [DATE_FORMATTED]</p>
  </div>

  <!-- Weather, Stats, Calendar, Tasks, Team, News sections -->
  <!-- See templates/email.html for full structure -->

  <div style="background: #e8f4f8; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-top: 20px;">
    <strong>Attachments:</strong><br>
    🎧 Audio Podcast (~10-15 min)<br>
    📊 Infographic (also shown above)
  </div>

  <p style="text-align: center; color: #666; font-size: 12px;">
    Full briefing: Obsidian/Geoffrey/Daily Briefings/[DATE].md
  </p>
</body>
</html>
```

**CRITICAL:** The `<img src="cid:briefing_image">` displays the infographic inline at the top of the email.

Save to `/tmp/morning_briefing_email.html`

### 5.2 Send with Inline Image + Attachments

```bash
cd /Users/hagelk/non-ic-code/geoffrey/skills/google-workspace && bun gmail/send_with_attachments.js psd \
  --to "hagelk@psd401.net" \
  --subject "Daily Briefing - [DATE]" \
  --body-file /tmp/morning_briefing_email.html \
  --html \
  --inline-image "~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].png" \
  --attachments "~/Desktop/morning_briefing_[DATE].mp3"
```

**Options explained:**
- `--html` - Treat body as HTML (required for formatting)
- `--inline-image` - Embeds image at top of email (referenced as `cid:briefing_image`)
- `--attachments` - Additional files to attach (podcast)

**Result:**
- Infographic displays INLINE at top of email (visible without downloading)
- Podcast attached for download
- Email renders nicely in Gmail with professional styling
