OPS ► MORNING BRIEFING

Runtime Context

Before executing, load available context:

1. Preferences: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json

   • owner — use in the greeting header ("Good morning, [owner]")
   • timezone — display all timestamps in this timezone
   • default_channels — which channels to include in unread summary

2. Daemon health: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json

   • If action_needed is not null → surface it before the briefing
   • Check whatsapp-bridge status before including WhatsApp unread counts
   • Also check bridge liveness: lsof -i :8080 | grep LISTEN

3. WhatsApp pre-check: Only include WhatsApp data if bridge is running (lsof -i :8080 | grep LISTEN).

CLI/API Reference

whatsapp-bridge (WhatsApp — mcpwhatsapp*)

Bridge health — check before any WhatsApp operation:

• Running: lsof -i :8080 | grep LISTEN → proceed
• Not running → launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.${USER}.whatsapp-bridge, wait 5s

Agent Teams support

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams when gathering briefing data in parallel. This enables:

• Agents share context and can coordinate mid-flight
• You can steer priorities in real-time
• Agents report progress as they complete

Team setup (only when flag is enabled):

TeamCreate("go-team")
Agent(team_name="go-team", name="infra-scanner", prompt="Check ECS health, Vercel status, and CI failures across all clusters")
Agent(team_name="go-team", name="inbox-scanner", prompt="Scan unread messages across WhatsApp, Email, Slack, Telegram, Notion")
Agent(team_name="go-team", name="pr-scanner", prompt="Find open PRs needing action — reviews, CI fixes, merge-ready")
Agent(team_name="go-team", name="sprint-scanner", prompt="Check Linear sprint progress and GSD phase state across projects")

If the flag is NOT set, use standard fire-and-forget subagents.

Pre-gathered data

All data below was collected by shell scripts in <10 seconds.

FinOps snapshot (canonical state from finops-dashboard)

Pulls current burn, anomalies, and revenue from the dashboard. Fails open to {} if FINOPS_DASHBOARD_URL / FINOPS_OPS_API_TOKEN are unset — in that case the briefing falls back to the per-source data below.

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/finops-bridge.sh snapshot 2>/dev/null || echo "{}"

Interpreting the snapshot — two different empty states, do NOT conflate:

1. {} or unreachable → FINOPS_DASHBOARD_URL / FINOPS_OPS_API_TOKEN genuinely unset (or the dashboard is down). Report "FinOps creds unset" and fall back to per-source AWS Cost Explorer / Infrastructure below.
2. Snapshot present (non-null generated_at) but services_tracked: 0 and all-zero current_month_spend/revenue_snapshot → dashboard reachable + authenticated, but its ingest pipeline is unpopulated. This is NOT a creds problem — do NOT report "token unset". Say "FinOps dashboard reachable but ingest empty" and fall back to per-source data for burn/revenue.

When the snapshot has non-zero services_tracked, prefer it for the burn/runway/anomaly lines. The per-source Infrastructure and AWS Cost Explorer sections below are the fallback for both empty states above.

If dashboard current_month_spend is ≈ $0, dual-check with the Usage-only helper below — credits often zero the net bill while real burn is hundreds/day.

AWS Usage burn (RECORD_TYPE=Usage — not credit-masked)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/aws-usage-cost.sh snapshot 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

Render in the briefing under a short AWS BURN line: MTD usage $X · 7d avg $Y/day · EOM pace $Z · credits mask $W (do not treat net $0 as low spend). Flag a FIRE if any of the last 7 Usage days is >2× the 7d average.

Infrastructure

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-infra 2>/dev/null || echo '{"clusters":[],"error":"infra check failed"}'

Git Status (all projects)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-git 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

Open PRs

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-prs 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

CI Failures (last 24h)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-ci 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

Unread Messages

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-unread 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

GSD State (active roadmaps)

for d in $(jq -r '.projects[] | select(.gsd == true) | .paths[]' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json" 2>/dev/null); do
  expanded="${d/#\~/$HOME}"
  if [ -f "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" ]; then
    alias=$(basename "$expanded")
    phase=$(grep -m1 'current_phase' "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo "unknown")
    progress=$(grep -m1 'progress' "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo "unknown")
    echo "$alias: $phase | $progress"
  fi
done

Competitor Intel

source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/competitor/context.sh" 2>/dev/null \
  && competitor_context --window-days 7 2>/dev/null \
  || echo '{"configured":false}'

External Projects (non-repo)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-external 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

Marketing (live channel data per project)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-marketing-dash 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

Home (smart-home — only if home_automation is configured)

if jq -e '.home_automation' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-home snapshot 2>/dev/null || echo '{"configured":true,"error":"home probe failed"}'
else
  echo '{"configured":false}'
fi

Calendar (today — all calendars)

gog calendar events --all --today --json --sort start 2>/dev/null | head -60 || echo "calendar unavailable"

Events include a CalendarID field (e.g. work@example.com, personal@gmail.com). When rendering the briefing, attribute each event with a short calendar label in parentheses — derive it from the CalendarID domain or summary (e.g. work account → (work), personal Gmail → (personal)). Show total count + top 3 events sorted by start time with format: HH:MM Title (calendar).

Fallback: if gog is unavailable and GOOGLE_CALENDAR_IDS env var is set (comma-separated calendar IDs), fetch each ID individually:

for id in $(echo "$GOOGLE_CALENDAR_IDS" | tr ',' '\n'); do
  gog calendar events "$id" --today --json 2>/dev/null
done

Your task

Analyze ALL the pre-gathered data above and present it as a morning briefing. Follow the ops-briefing output style.

Format:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 OPS ► MORNING BRIEFING — [DATE]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

FIRES (fix now)
[table of production issues, CI failures, broken deploys]

AWS BURN (Usage only — not credit-masked net)
 MTD usage $[X] · 7d avg $[Y]/day · EOM pace $[Z] · credits mask $[W]
 Top: [service $a] · [service $b] · [service $c]
[If any day >2× 7d avg: flag as FIRE. Never report plain CE net ≈$0 as low spend.]

PRs NEEDING ACTION
[table: repo, PR#, title, status, action needed]

PORTFOLIO DASHBOARD
[table: project, phase, branch, uncommitted, CI, next action]

EXTERNAL PROJECTS
[table: alias, source, status, details — from ops-external data]

MARKETING
 Health: [N]/100 ([Healthy/Warning/Critical])  |  Blended ROAS: [X]x  |  Top channel: [channel]
 Meta: $[X] spent (7d) [X]x ROAS  |  Google: $[X] spent (7d) [X]x ROAS  |  Email: [N] subs
[If health < 70: "⚠ Run /ops:marketing optimize for recommendations"]
[If no marketing configured: "(marketing not configured — /ops:marketing setup)"]

COMPETITOR    <brand>: N alerts · M med deltas · last run YYYY-MM-DD
              <top high-severity event snippet, 1 line, truncated 140 chars>
[If competitor data returns {configured:false}, omit this section entirely — no "(not configured)" noise]
[Mobile mode (Rule 7): compress to one line: "comp: N alerts (top: brief snippet)"]

HOME
 Power: [X]W now · [Y]kWh today  |  Alarms: [N] active ([severity])  |  Presence: [home/empty since HH:MM]  |  Last flow: [name @ HH:MM]
[If home data returns {configured:false}, omit this section entirely — no clutter]
[If critical alarm active (smoke/water/security): prepend `⚠ CRITICAL` and route to FIRES at top]

UNREAD
[WhatsApp: N, Email: N, Slack: N workspace(s) configured (no scan), Notion: N items, Calendar: N events today]

TODAY'S PRIORITIES (ranked by revenue impact + urgency)
1. [action] — [project] — [why]
2. ...
3. ...

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Marketing section data source: Read from ops-marketing-dash pre-gathered output (see Pre-gathered data section). If marketing data is present in the dash output, compute the health score inline (see ops-marketing SKILL.md health score formula). If ops-marketing-dash is not configured or returns empty marketing data, show (marketing not configured — /ops:marketing setup).

Priority ranking: fires > degraded infra > CI failures > competitor alerts (high-severity, last 24h) > unread comms > ready-to-merge PRs > revenue-generating GSD work > stale projects.

If $ARGUMENTS contains a project alias, focus the briefing on that project only.

After the briefing, use batched AskUserQuestion calls (max 4 options each) for the "What's next?" prompt. Show the top 3 priority actions + [More...] in the first call, then remaining actions + [/ops-yolo — let me run your business today] in the second call. Route to the appropriate ops skill or project.

For Slack counts: read the channels.slack object from the pre-gathered data and surface workspace presence ONLY. Do NOT auto-scan Slack workspaces during briefings — Slack scans are expensive, noisy, and frequently produce stale/unread counts that don't match the user's actual triage state. The user explicitly opted out of auto-scan on briefing surfaces.

• If workspaces array is present: render Slack: N workspace(s) configured (<name1>, <name2>) — run /ops:ops-inbox to scan.
• If available: false for all workspaces: show Slack: not configured and skip.
• Never call mcp__claude_ai_Slack__* or curl Slack APIs from this skill. Defer all Slack scans to /ops:ops-inbox where the user explicitly opts in.

For Notion counts: if NOTION_MCP_ENABLED=true and pre-gathered data shows Notion as available, use mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-search with query: "" sorted by last_edited_time descending to surface recently active pages. Then call mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-get-comments on the top results to find comments needing response. Note: Notion search does not support date range filters — sort by recency and limit to the first 10-20 results instead.

Native tool usage

Tasks — briefing action tracking

After presenting the briefing, create a TaskCreate for each recommended priority action. As the user works through them (or delegates via skill routing), update with TaskUpdate. This gives continuity across the session.

Cron — scheduled briefings

After the first briefing, offer to schedule recurring briefings via AskUserQuestion:

  [Schedule daily at 9am]  [Schedule weekday mornings]  [No schedule]

Use CronCreate to set up the schedule. Show existing schedules with CronList.

WebFetch — calendar enrichment

When gog calendar fails, use WebFetch with the Google Calendar API as fallback:

WebFetch(url: "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?timeMin=<today>T00:00:00Z&timeMax=<today>T23:59:59Z")

Ledger Integration

CLAIM_KEY: daily-brief:<YYYY-MM-DD> (e.g. daily-brief:2026-05-28)

Pre-flight skip-check

Before generating the briefing, check whether one was already produced today:

BRIEF_DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
CLAIM_KEY="daily-brief:${BRIEF_DATE}"
ledger query --claim-key "$CLAIM_KEY" --since=-PT24H

If the query returns a done or in_progress entry, surface it to the user ("Briefing already ran today at HH:MM — rerun?") instead of re-fetching all sources.

Claim + resolve

# Claim at briefing start
ledger write \
  --claim-key "$CLAIM_KEY" \
  --kind "file" \
  --status "in_progress" \
  --title "Morning briefing ${BRIEF_DATE}" \
  --ttl-sec 86400

# Resolve after briefing is presented to the user
ledger write \
  --claim-key "$CLAIM_KEY" \
  --kind "file" \
  --status "done" \
  --title "Morning briefing ${BRIEF_DATE}" \
  --context "N fires, N PRs, N unread"
