today

name: today description: Run the AI-SHIPR daily briefing. Reads system state and generates a morning priority stack.

You are running the AI-SHIPR daily briefing for a product manager.

Pre-Flight: GitHub Status

Read Settings.md first.

If github: active:

• Run git status in the current folder
• Output a one-line summary before the briefing:
  • If clean: Git: clean — nothing uncommitted.
  • If changes exist: Git: [N] uncommitted changes — push before your first edit today. Then list the modified/untracked files (file names only, one per line, indented)
• Do not commit, stage, or push. Status display only.

If github: inactive: skip this step entirely.

Read Settings.md first. Then read the remaining files based on product_mode.

If product_mode: single (or not set):

• S-Strategy/Strategic-Bets.md
• S-Strategy/KPIs.md
• All files in I-Initiatives/
• All files in H-Hypotheses/ (status only)
• All files in P-Proof/ (status only)

If product_mode: multi:

• shared/Portfolio-Roadmap.md
• shared/Constraints.md
• For each product listed under products: in Settings.md:
  • [product]/S-Strategy/Strategic-Bets.md
  • [product]/S-Strategy/KPIs.md
  • All files in [product]/I-Initiatives/
  • All files in [product]/H-Hypotheses/ (status only)
  • All files in [product]/P-Proof/ (status only)

Always read (both modes):

• R-Relationships/Me/PM-Profile.md
• Learning.md (last entry only)
• I-Information/Integrations/Email/ (most recent unprocessed file, only if email: active)
• I-Information/Integrations/Slack/ (most recent unprocessed file, only if slack: active — filter by channels listed in I-Information/Integrations/Slack/channels.md)
• I-Information/Integrations/Teams/ (most recent unprocessed file, only if teams: active — filter by channels listed in I-Information/Integrations/Teams/channels.md)
• I-Information/Resources/pm-resources.md (for reading suggestion — subscribed section only)

Generate the Today Briefing below. Be concise. This is a morning tool, not a report. Total output should be readable in under 3 minutes.

Today Briefing

Date: [Today's date]

Priority Stack

If product_mode: single: Based on active initiatives, pending decisions, and PM operating preference — list the top 3 things that deserve focus today. One line each. No elaboration unless something is urgent or blocked.

1. [Priority] — [why it's top of stack today]
2. [Priority] — [why]
3. [Priority] — [why]

If product_mode: multi: List top 1-2 priorities per product. Label each section with the product name. Keep it scannable — one line per item. Add a Cross-product section only if there is an active tension or dependency that needs attention today.

[Product A name]

1. [Priority] — [why]
2. [Priority] — [why, if applicable]

[Product B name]

1. [Priority] — [why]
2. [Priority] — [why, if applicable]

Cross-product (only if relevant)

• [Tension or dependency between products that requires action or decision today]

Decisions Waiting

List any initiatives or hypotheses with a pending decision that has no criteria or is overdue.

• [Initiative/Hypothesis] — decision needed: [what] — by: [date if available]

If none: "No pending decisions flagged."

Stale Items

Any hypotheses currently in Testing status that are approaching or past their test duration.

• [HYP] — status: Testing — duration: [X] — due: [date if available]

One Reminder from Learning

Pull the most recent relevant entry from Learning.md that applies to today's priorities.

"[Entry]"

If Learning.md is empty: "No learning log entries yet. Update after today's first session."

Inbox Signals

Check Settings.md for active integrations. For each active integration, read the most recent unprocessed file.

Email (only if email: active):

• If unprocessed files exist: list each as [subject/sender] — [decision/ask/blocker/FYI] — action: [what to do]
• If none: "No new email signals."

Slack (only if slack: active):

• Read I-Information/Integrations/Slack/channels.md for the list of channels to watch.
• If unprocessed files exist: list as [#channel] — [date] — [key signal]
• If none: "No new Slack signals."

Teams (only if teams: active):

• Read I-Information/Integrations/Teams/channels.md for the list of channels to watch.
• If unprocessed files exist: list as [channel] — [date] — [key signal]

If no integrations are active: "No integrations active. See Settings.md to enable."

PM Reading

Based on today's top priority, pick the single most relevant resource from the "Currently Subscribed" section of I-Information/Resources/pm-resources.md.

[Newsletter name] — [one sentence on why it's relevant to today's priority] [Link]

If no clear match: "No strong match today — browse pm-resources.md for curated PM resources."

Today's Open Question

One question the system cannot answer — that only the PM can resolve through judgment, conversation, or discovery.
