Data & Ops/First-party starter playbook

Daily executive brief

Every morning, digest Linear, Fireflies, Gmail & Calendar into a stack-ranked Slack brief.

// what it does
  1. 01Gather the inputs. Pull the day's raw material from each connected source: open and recently updated Linear tickets assigned to or created by the executive; Fireflies transcripts and summaries from the last day; unread and recently received Gmail threads; and today's Google Calendar events. If a source returns nothing, note it and move on — don't stall the brief.
  2. 02Extract what needs a decision or action. From each source, distill the items that actually need the executive's attention — action items and decisions from meeting transcripts, threads awaiting their reply, tickets waiting on them, and meetings they're expected to prepare for or lead. Leave out noise and FYIs.
  3. 03Surface deadlines. Call out anything with a specific due date or time — ticket due dates, calendar events, and commitments made in email or meetings — and mark which are due today or overdue.
  4. 04Find overlaps and over-commitments. Check the calendar for double-booked or back-to-back slots with no gap, and flag where the day's commitments exceed the available time or where a deadline collides with a full meeting schedule.
  5. 05Stack-rank the priorities. Order everything into a single ranked list, most important first, weighing urgency (due dates), leverage, and how many other people or commitments each item unblocks. Group into clear sections — e.g. Top priorities, Due today / overdue, Conflicts & over-commitments, and Meetings to prep for.
  6. 06Deliver the brief to Slack. Post one well-structured message to the configured Slack destination: the stack-ranked priorities, the deadline callouts, and the conflict flags, each item citing where it came from (the ticket, meeting, thread, or event) so it's traceable.
// guardrails in the draft

Ground every item in the source data — link or name the specific ticket, meeting, thread, or event. Never invent tasks, deadlines, or commitments that aren't in the sources.

Prioritize email from real people over automated messages. Threads from actual colleagues, customers, and partners rank above newsletters, notifications, receipts, and other automated or no-reply mail — down-rank or omit the latter unless they carry a genuine deadline or action.

This is a read-and-report agent. Don't reply to emails, change tickets, respond to calendar invites, or take any action on the executive's behalf — surface what needs doing and let them decide.

If a source is unavailable or returns nothing, say so plainly in the brief rather than presenting a partial picture as complete.

Keep it scannable and short. Rank ruthlessly and cut low-signal items — the value is a prioritized brief, not an exhaustive dump.

Respect confidentiality: this brief goes only to the configured destination. Don't forward sensitive email or meeting details anywhere else.
