Daily brief

Name: daily-brief
Author: auscyber

One note, written to Uni/Briefs/YYYY-MM-DD.md in the vault. Create Uni/Briefs/ if it does not exist; briefs go nowhere else.

Gather

Do these in whatever order; skip nothing silently.

Today's date and timezone — from the time tool, not from memory.
Calendar — fantastical for today and tomorrow. Include all-day items.
Mail — outlook_work and outlook_personal, unread since the last brief. Subject, sender, and whether it looks like it needs a reply. Do not open every message body; list first, read only what is ambiguous.
Tasks — todoist, due today and overdue.
Readings — the vault: notes in Uni/Readings/ whose read_status is not a finished value, filtered to the current study period via their collections field. This list is long (there are ~1600 notes); surface at most the ten most relevant and say how many were left out.

If a source is unreachable, put a line in the brief saying so — "Fantastical was not running; no calendar in this brief" — rather than omitting the section. A brief that quietly lacks a section reads as a day with nothing in it.

Write

# Brief — <weekday> <date>

## Today
<calendar, chronological; "nothing scheduled" if empty>

## Needs a reply
<mail, grouped by account, work first; omit the heading entirely if both inboxes are clear>

## Due
<todoist: overdue first, then today>

## Reading
<the shortlist, each linked as [[Uni/Readings/<citekey>]]>

## Not reached
<only if a source failed>

Keep it scannable. No commentary, no encouragement, no restating the headings in prose.

Rules

The brief is a new file each day. If today's already exists, append a ## Update <time> section rather than overwriting it.
Never create, complete or reschedule anything while writing a brief. It is a read.
