Morning Routine

Start the work day by reviewing context and setting focus.

Steps

1. Resolve the journal path:

   JORNAL="${JORNAL:-$HOME/para/areas/dev/gh/ak/journal}"

2. Get today's date and derive the log path: $JORNAL/areas/log/YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md

3. Read yesterday's log for context (find the most recent log file before today).

4. Check if today's log exists. If not, create it with the daily log template from $JORNAL/AGENTS.md.

5. Read $JORNAL/inbox.md — flag any items sitting unprocessed for more than 2 days.

6. Read all active project files under $JORNAL/projects/ (skip _index.md). Collect all open tasks: - [ ] Collect all waiting tasks: - [~]

7. Read all area files under $JORNAL/areas/ (skip _index.md). Collect recurring tasks: - [ ]

8. Gather workspace context from the current working directory:

   • pwd — which project/repo are we in?
   • git branch --show-current — what branch?
   • git log --oneline -5 — recent commits
   • git status --short — uncommitted work?

Output format

Present a morning briefing:

Good morning — YYYY-MM-DD

Yesterday's wrap-up (from yesterday's log)

• brief summary of what was done

Open tasks (grouped by project)

• task — project name

Waiting on others (from [~] items across projects)

• [~] task — waiting on who (since when) — project name

Areas (recurring duties due)

• area name: items due or worth noting

Inbox (items to process, if any)

• items older than 2 days get flagged
• suggest migrating to projects/areas or cancelling

Current workspace (from pwd + git)

• Repo, branch, status, likely next action

Suggested focus for today

• top 2-3 priorities

Then ask: "What would you like to set as today's focus?" and update the ## Focus section of today's log once the user responds.
