When to use

At the beginning of work day

Paths

| What | Path | |------|------| | Tasks | $PM_PATH/pm_tasks_master.csv | | Leads | $CRM_PATH/relationships/leads.csv | | People (CRM) | $CRM_PATH/contacts/people.csv | | Email script | $GOOGLE_TOOLS_PATH/read_emails.py |

How to execute

Step 1: Read tasks

import pandas as pd
from datetime import date

today = str(date.today())

tasks = pd.read_csv('$PM_PATH/pm_tasks_master.csv')

# Deadline today
deadline_today = tasks[tasks['deadline'] == today]

# In progress
in_progress = tasks[tasks['status'] == 'in_progress']

# Hot tasks (not done)
hot_tasks = tasks[(tasks['priority'] == 'hot') & (tasks['status'] != 'done')]

# Top by priority score
tasks_sorted = tasks[tasks['status'].isin(['todo', 'in_progress'])].sort_values(
    'priority_score', ascending=False
)

Step 2: Check leads follow-ups (source of truth for sales)

leads = pd.read_csv('$CRM_PATH/relationships/leads.csv')
leads_today = leads[leads['next_action_date'] == today]

Step 3: Check CRM follow-ups

try:
    people = pd.read_csv('$CRM_PATH/contacts/people.csv')
    followups = people[people['next_followup_date'] == today]
except:
    followups = pd.DataFrame()

Step 4: Check inbox

cd $GOOGLE_TOOLS_PATH
python3 read_emails.py 10

Priority logic

Deadline today - must do
Blocking others - unblocks team
Highest priority_score - calculated importance
In progress - finish what started

Task completion rule

IMPORTANT: If during briefing user says a task is already done, or you discover from email/context that a task was completed:

Mark it done immediately (status=done, last_updated=today, update notes)
Suggest follow-up if applicable (invoice -> check payment, email -> check reply)
Re-show updated briefing without the completed task

See pm-done skill for full logic and auto-follow-up rules.
