## What it does

This skill turns the start of a workday into a fixed-format brief. It identifies one top priority, lists calendar entries in time order, adds preparation notes, and separates overdue or blocked work from decisions that still need an answer. Each blocked item gets a next action and an owner when the relevant details are available.

The default workflow uses information supplied by the user. Calendar or email MCP servers can provide those inputs directly. Without them, the skill asks for missing calendar details, priorities, blockers, pending decisions, and energy state in one batch. It does not invent meetings or tasks, and end-of-day reflection belongs to `journal-reflection`.
