Daily Brief Writer

Workflow

1. Collect the available source material before drafting. Use the user's notes as the source of truth, and mark missing or inferred context explicitly.
2. Separate facts from interpretation. Keep dated events, decisions, metrics, blockers, and asks traceable to the input.
3. Draft in this order:
   • Headline: one sentence with the most important takeaway.
   • Done today: completed work or resolved decisions.
   • In progress: active threads and current state.
   • Blockers or risks: items needing attention.
   • Next actions: concrete owner/action/date when available.
4. Keep the brief concise by default. Prefer 5-9 bullets total unless the user asks for detail.
5. Preserve sensitive wording carefully. Do not invent commitments, owners, dates, or metrics.

Style

• Write plainly and professionally.
• Prefer active voice and concrete nouns.
• Combine duplicate updates across sources.
• Use neutral language for uncertain or unresolved items.
• If the input is mostly Chinese, draft in Chinese; if mostly English, draft in English.

Output Shapes

Use the default daily brief format unless the user asks for a specific channel.

Default:

**Daily Brief**
Headline: ...

Done today:

In progress:

Blockers / risks:

For Slack or chat, make it shorter and remove empty sections.

For email, add a subject line and a greeting only if the user asks for an email-ready draft.
