What to Include
The four integrations in Module 3 are calendar, tasks, email, news. But there are other things you might reasonably want in a morning brief:
- Daily note context — If you keep a daily note in Obsidian or a similar tool, the morning brief can read it. The
obsidian readCLI command pulls a note by date. Anything you wrote yesterday that’s still relevant surfaces automatically. - Specific projects — A working note for an active project can appear in the brief. “Here’s the current status of Project X” as a standing context block. Useful when you’re deep in something and want it foregrounded every day.
- Weather — Relevant if your day involves travel or outdoor plans. A quick weather lookup via a search tool adds one line.
- Financial signals — If you track invoices or cash flow, a quick scan of MoneyWiz data via the CLI can surface outstanding receivables. Optional and niche, but the integration is straightforward.
The test for inclusion: does this change what I do today? Calendar events do. Open tasks do. Email action items do. If an item wouldn’t change your priorities or your plan, it’s probably noise.
