Productivity

Daily Briefing

/daily-briefing pulls yesterday's work, today's priorities, and sprint context. Session continuity included.

About this system

Starting the day without context is inefficient. You spend 15-30 minutes reviewing what you did yesterday, what's on your plate today, and what the current sprint priorities are.

The Daily Briefing skill pulls all this context automatically:

  • Yesterday's completed work (from changelog)
  • Today's priorities (from session context)
  • Sprint context and deadlines
  • Any blockers or follow-ups

In 30 seconds, you have complete context to start productive work immediately.
