A Claude Code morning brief built from simple files
The hard part of each morning was not the work itself. It was choosing what mattered, rebuilding yesterday’s context, and getting started. A morning brief system was built with Claude Code and a stack of .
It writes a daily brief and lays out the day as separate work sessions that can be opened and run in parallel. The first file it reads is a with the current truth: the person’s role, the monthly number being pursued, and the active . The main failure mode was stale context.
One week was planned around a project that had already shipped because the file still marked it as active. The fix was to update the as soon as anything changes, and to keep long-lived facts in a with one fact per file.
