## What it does

The skill runs shell commands directly inside an assistant session to assemble a start-of-day brief. It requires two inputs first: your vault path and city name. The agent then reads today's task document with `awk` to extract scheduled items.

Next, it scans the `content/ready-to-post/` directory for markdown notes tagged with `**Posted:** ❌`. The skill sorts files by modification date and limits the output to five entries. Weather conditions arrive via a quick `curl` query to `wttr.in`. Before returning results, the agent runs a self-critique pass to remove raw console garbage.

Without shell access, the routine fails. It also expects `curl` on the host machine. Its hardcoded directory path `bambf/tracking/daily-actions/` forces you to match that exact vault layout or pass custom paths manually.
