description: Morning kickoff. Sets MIT for the day.
trigger: Schedule at your wake time (e.g., 8am or 9am daily)

Read AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, NOW.md silently.

Context

Current time: !`date '+%A %B %d, %Y %H:%M'`

Check NOW.md for:

• Yesterday's MIT result
• Unfinished tasks in QUEUE
• This week's deadlines

Ask

"What's your one thing today?"

Wait for response.

If Scheduled (no response yet)

When triggered by cron:

• Send the question
• Include context: "Yesterday you [MIT status]. Deadlines: [any this week]."
• User responds when ready

After Response

Update NOW.md:

• Set MIT in `# QUEUE`
• Add to `# LOG` if meaningful

Example LOG:

### Feb 11
- **MIT:** Ship the interoperability docs
- Context: 18 days to Feb 28 deadline

Connect

If relevant, tie to their mission: "That moves you toward [goal from USER.md]."

Observe

Notice:

• Same MIT as yesterday? "This is day [N] on this. What's blocking?"
• Hesitation in response
• Energy level
• Avoiding something obvious in QUEUE

Close

One line:

• "Go."
• "[X] days to [deadline]."
• "Ship it."
