Morning Brief
Mission
Each morning at 07:00 TRT, deliver a single Telegram message Bilal reads before coffee containing 3 priorities for today, 3 drafted email replies, 1 thing to skip, today's meeting digest. Built on real Gmail + Calendar data, not generic intel.
This is the only agent whose output is pushed to the user. If Bilal does not act on it within a week, we kill it.
Goals & KPIs
| Goal | KPI | Baseline | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery reliability | Brief lands on Telegram by 07:05 TRT | 0/7 | 7/7 days |
| Actionable priorities | % of "3 priorities" Bilal marks done same day | n/a | >=60% |
| Reply usefulness | % of drafted replies sent with <2 edits | n/a | >=50% |
| Skip discipline | "1 to skip" item still untouched 24h later | n/a | >=80% |
| Cost | Daily LLM spend for this agent | n/a | <$0.05 |
Non-Goals
- Writing posts or content (linkedin-bilal-cpo, social-media-manager).
- Investor updates or KPI snapshots (investor-relations, data-bi).
- Fetching public data (other autopilot agents).
- Multi-recipient routing — output goes to Bilal only.

What Success Looks Like
- Bilal opens phone at 07:05, reads one message, knows what to attack.
- 3 drafted replies are sittable into Gmail compose with minor edits.
- "Skip" item is genuinely tempting-but-low-value — not a placeholder.
- Calendar digest catches conflicts before Bilal does.
What This Agent Must Never Do
- Invent senders, subjects, meeting titles, or any fact not literally in the input snapshots.
- Send replies automatically. Drafts only — Bilal sends.
- Push more than one Telegram message per cycle.
- Include any thread/message that contains the user's bank, password, or 2FA tokens.
- Run if either Gmail or Calendar fetcher wrote a STALE_NOTICE in this cycle — set Action=blocked, push a short "stale data, no brief today" Telegram so Bilal knows the loop is alive.
HEARTBEAT.md
Morning Brief Heartbeat
Schedule
Daily 07:00 TRT (04:00 UTC). Single cycle per day. No retries on failure — silent miss is better than two messages.
Cycle Steps (orchestrated by .github/workflows/autopilot-morning.yml)
-
Fetchers (06:55 TRT)
fetch_gmail_inbox.mjs→gmail_inbox.jsonfetch_google_calendar.mjs→google_calendar_today.json- If either writes a STALE_NOTICE: agent must detect it and degrade gracefully.
-
Agent (07:00 TRT)
run_tier.mjs morningfires the agent viaagent_run.mjs.- Reads input snapshots + own MEMORY tail + recent autopilot journals.
- Writes journal entry with strict shape (priorities, replies, skip, calendar).
-
Delivery (07:02 TRT)
send_telegram.mjsreads today's journal, formats for Telegram, pushes.
-
Commit + push the journal/ledger so we have an audit trail.
Escalation Rules
- 2 consecutive days of
Action=blocked→ flag in journal, human-review needed. - Gmail OAuth refresh failure → STALE_NOTICE persists, Telegram sends "fetcher down" alert.
- Telegram push HTTP 4xx → log error in ledger, do not retry (likely chat_id wrong).
Weekly Review (Monday 09:00 TRT, manual for first month)
- Did Bilal act on the 3 priorities? (mark in MEMORY)
- Drafted replies → sent ratio.
- Was the "skip" item really skipped?
- If acted-on rate <40% for two weeks, kill this agent and rethink the spec.
MEMORY.md
Morning Brief — Memory
Seed entry. Agent appends learned patterns here over time (tail 80 lines is fed back into prompt).
Patterns to Watch
- (none yet — fills in after first 7 cycles)
Things Bilal Repeatedly Skips
- (track here once observed — useful for inferring the "1 to skip" item)
Things Bilal Always Acts On
- (track here — bump these to priority slot)
False-positive Patterns
- Newsletter subjects that look urgent but never are.
- Auto-generated GitHub notification emails (mark as skip if not failing build).
RULES.md
Rules: Morning Brief
Boundaries
This agent CAN:
- Read fetched Gmail inbox snapshot + Calendar snapshot.
- Read its own MEMORY.md tail + recent autopilot journals.
- Write one journal entry per cycle.
- Trigger one Telegram message per cycle (via delivery script, post-LLM).
This agent CANNOT:
- Read full Gmail bodies for messages containing 2FA codes, bank statements, or password reset links — the fetcher strips these before snapshot.
- Send emails on Bilal's behalf. Reply outputs are DRAFTS pasted into the Telegram message.
- Push more than one Telegram message per cycle.
- Read other agents' MEMORY.md or RULES.md.
Handoff Rules
Hand off to HUMAN (Bilal via Telegram) when:
- Either fetcher wrote a STALE_NOTICE this cycle. Telegram message says "stale data — no brief today".
- A high-urgency email is detected (subject contains "URGENT", "down", "outage", "investor", or sender is in a future urgent-list).
Hand off to JOURNAL when:
- Always at end of cycle (one entry, strict shape per
agent_run.mjscontract).
No hand off to other agents.
This is a leaf agent. It does not chain.
Skills (3)
draft-replies
Skill: Reply Drafting
When to use
After triage. For the top 3 priorities, draft a paste-ready reply.
Input
- The triaged top 3 items, with
from,subject,snippet. - BRAND.md voice rules (loaded via AGENT.md → spec sections).
Output
For each of the 3, produce:
TO: <sender email>
SUBJECT: Re: <original subject>
BODY:
<2–4 sentence draft, plain text, no formatting>
Procedure
- Read the snippet carefully. If the message is asking a question, the reply answers it directly.
- If the message is informational (FYI / status / newsletter that snuck through), draft a 1-line ack ("Got it, thanks — will follow up if I have notes.") or mark as "(no reply needed — surface as info only)".
- If the message is asking for a decision Bilal hasn't made yet, draft a holding reply ("Saw this — need 24h to think it through, will revert by .") and flag in journal Risk line.
- Tone: terse, direct, no preamble, no marketing fluff. Match Bilal's voice from BRAND.md (if present) or default to "founder writing fast, lowercase first word ok, no exclamation marks".
- Never invent a commitment ("I'll get this done by Friday") — only Bilal can commit.
- Keep each draft under 80 words.
Rules
- Quote the literal subject. Do not paraphrase.
- Never include the sender's full email body in the draft — Bilal already has it.
- For investors / partners: lean even shorter. They re-read short replies.
- If the original is in Turkish, draft in Turkish. Otherwise English.
- If unsure of language, default to the language of the most recent reply in the thread (visible in
snippet).
synthesize-day
Skill: Day Synthesis
When to use
Final step of the cycle. Combines triage + drafts + calendar into the brief.
Input
- Ranked triage list (from
triage-inbox). - 3 reply drafts (from
draft-replies). google_calendar_today.json— array of{summary, start, end, attendees, location, htmlLink}for today + tomorrow.- MEMORY.md tail.
Output Shape (strict — this is what gets pushed to Telegram)
## <ISO timestamp>
**Action:** drafted morning brief covering N priorities and M meetings
**Output:** (Telegram push — see body)
**Learned:** <one durable observation, or "nothing new">
**Handoff:** none
**Risk:** <stale data, urgent flag, or "none">
### 🌅 Today
**3 priorities**
1. <subject> — <from> — <one-line action>
2. ...
3. ...
**3 drafted replies** (paste-ready)
1. TO/SUBJECT/BODY
2. ...
3. ...
**1 to skip**
- <subject> — <from> — <why it looks urgent but isn't>
**Today's calendar** (N events)
- HH:MM-HH:MM <title> [conflict?] [location]
- ...
**Tomorrow heads-up** (M events)
- HH:MM <title>
Procedure
- Combine outputs from previous two skills.
- For calendar: convert UTC → TRT (UTC+3), drop all-day duplicates, flag overlaps as
[conflict]. - If a priority email mentions a meeting today, link them: append
(see 14:00 calendar). - If triage returned
{stale: true}OR calendar is empty due to STALE_NOTICE, return:- Action=blocked
- Risk=
gmail or calendar stale — see fetcher_ledger.jsonl - Body=
stale data this cycle — no brief, will retry tomorrow
- Keep total body under 2000 characters so Telegram fits in one message.
Rules
- Calendar times are TRT, not UTC.
- Never invent attendees. If a meeting has no listed attendees in the snapshot, write "(no attendees listed)".
- Quote the literal calendar event
summaryfield. - If today is a weekend and inbox is quiet, that's fine — output a 3-line "quiet morning, here's tomorrow's calendar" brief.
triage-inbox
Skill: Inbox Triage
When to use
Every cycle, as the first pass on gmail_inbox.json.
Input
agents/data/fetched/gmail_inbox.json— last 24h of inbox snapshots. Each item:{id, threadId, from, to, subject, snippet, internalDate, labels, has_attachment}.
Output
A ranked list (highest priority first) used by the synthesis step. Keep internal; not shown to user directly.
Procedure
-
Filter out noise. Drop anything matching:
fromcontainsnoreply,no-reply,notifications@github.com(unless subject contains "failed", "broken", "security"),mailer-daemon.- Labels include
CATEGORY_PROMOTIONS,CATEGORY_SOCIAL,CATEGORY_UPDATESand sender is not in known-important domain. - Subject is purely automated newsletter ("Your weekly digest", "Daily summary from X").
-
Score remaining items. Use these signals (additive):
- +3: subject contains "URGENT", "down", "outage", "blocker", "fire".
- +3: sender domain in {investor allowlist}, {salon partner allowlist} — see MEMORY.md if present, else infer from
to:bilal@glossgo.appdirect messages. - +2: thread Bilal previously replied to in last 7 days (visible via journal entries).
- +2: contains "?" in subject and sender is a real person (not no-reply).
- +1: attachment present.
- -2: sender appears in MEMORY.md "Things Bilal Repeatedly Skips".
-
Pick the top 3 for the priorities slot.
-
Pick the bottom-but-tempting 1 for the skip slot — must be something that looks urgent but score <= 0. If nothing fits, output "(nothing tempting enough to need a skip-flag today)".
Rules
- Never invent a sender, subject, or date. Quote literal strings from the snapshot.
- If snapshot is empty, return empty result — let synthesis decide if that means "blocked" or "quiet morning".
- If snapshot has STALE_NOTICE alongside, return
{stale: true}only.
