Publish a read-only morning brief from two calendars, mail, chat and tasks

Mollica set up a scheduled task in a Cowork session that runs at ten to seven on weekdays with their own connector permissions. It fetches a work and a personal calendar separately and merges them, searches the inbox for questions they have not answered, checks a label where they mail themselves end-of-day notes, sweeps chat mentions from the last two days, and reads their open tasks on one board. The prompt caps the page at three to five items, requires each to be tied to something the run actually saw, and forbids replying, archiving or moving anything. It publishes a single page with a drawn timeline of the day and then sends a short push notification.

The run they describe took five minutes and four seconds. It reduced about forty candidates to three items needing attention and two resolved, plus a list of eight open design tasks, and sent a 94-character push. Earlier, four scheduled runs that emailed the brief reported success but no email arrived, which is why it now publishes a page and pushes instead.

Check which mailbox the mail connector is on; a brief from the wrong inbox looks normal. Notification mail is a poor signal of what is still open, since merged pull requests often leave no mail, so the prompt makes it confirm state from the author's own notes. The post is written as a shareable prompt, so the outcome is one person's report.
