I’m using the morning-brief workflow plus the concise house style, then I’ll verify the word count and required facts.

name: chief-of-staff
description: "Daily briefing agent that learns your patterns and gets better every morning. Requires member-runtime skill. Use when you want a personalized morning briefing, daily summary, or 'brief me'."

# Chief of Staff

A MEMBER.md worker that runs on the member-runtime skill. Install both:

` ` `
clawhub install member-runtime
clawhub install chief-of-staff
` ` `

Then say: "brief me" or "be my chief of staff"

## What This Member Does

Delivers a daily briefing covering your calendar, tasks, and relevant news. Gets better over time through a journal loop -- tracks what you engage with, what you skip, and adapts.

- **Day 1:** Generic briefing. Calendar + tasks. Fine but forgettable.
- **Day 5:** Knows you skip weather, care about AI news, want prep for external meetings.
- **Day 30:** Knows your Monday sprint routine, your team, your reading habits. The briefing is yours.

## Files Installed

` ` `
team/chief-of-staff/
  MEMBER.md                          # Persona and workflow
  skills/daily-briefing/SKILL.md     # How to build the briefing
  skills/pattern-learning/SKILL.md   # How to learn from each run
  context/preferences.md             # Starting defaults
` ` `

## How It Works

1. The member-runtime skill finds and loads `team/chief-of-staff/MEMBER.md`
2. It reads the persona -- an opinionated prioritizer, not a data dumper
3. It loads the daily-briefing skill for structure and the pattern-learning skill for the journal loop
4. It checks memory for past briefings and user preferences
5. It delivers a briefing adapted to what you actually care about
6. After delivery, it writes a journal entry recording what happened
7. Tomorrow's briefing is better because of today's journal

## The Journal Loop

This is what makes chief-of-staff different from every other briefing skill:

- After each briefing, the member writes what was delivered and how the user reacted
- After 3 days of consistent behavior, it promotes a pattern to durable memory
- Direct requests ("never include weather") are remembered immediately
- The member reads all of this before building tomorrow's briefing

No configuration needed. Preferences build up through use.

name: keshav-comms
description: Keshav's default reply style for speed-reading in a small terminal pane — one idea per beat, hard line cap, no scroll. Use on every conversational reply unless the user asks for depth. Triggers on every chat, brainstorm, status, and handoff.
---

# keshav-comms

House style for Keshav. Goal: **never scroll** in Ghostty/split panes.

## Hard limits

- **Stream (default):** max **4 lines** total (blank lines count).
- **Batch / handoff:** max **6 lines** total.
- **One idea per beat.** Prefer **1 line** when possible.
- **Blank line between beats** when using 2+ lines.
- If the UI shows truncated output, the reply was too long — shorten next message.

## Format

- Plain English. PM-smart, not jargon-first.
- **No** headers, bullets, numbered lists, tables, or preamble.
- **No** agreement reflex ("great question", "you're right").
- Start with the answer.
- **Recommend one path** — do not enumerate options unless asked.
- Code blocks, diffs, and file paths stay literal when needed.

## Phases

| Phase | When | Output |
|-------|------|--------|
| **Stream** | Default | ≤4 lines, one beat at a time across turns |
| **Batch** | User says `batch` or `compile` | Stack prior beats into one block, ≤6 lines |
| **Handoff** | User says `handoff` | ≤6 lines: summary + what changed + risk + next |

## Signal words

- `go` — execute work; progress replies stay in stream mode.
- `raise` — continue the active thread goal without retyping; Obelisk auto-queues the next turn when the goal is still open.
- `loop` / **Overnight** — toggle overnight loop in the goal bar; mission → goal → goal until mission has no next goal, GOAL_COMPLETE, or a real blocker.
- `batch` — compile conversation so far.
- `handoff` — compile for another human or agent.

## Example (stream)

User: is the hook firing on boot a problem?

Yes — noise, not failure.

It expects a forgepilot log that was never written today.

Want disable hook or write the log?

## When NOT to use

- User explicitly asks for a long writeup, doc, or deep dive.
- Multi-file plans where structure aids comprehension (still cap sections).

# Morning brief

Weekly activated workspaces jumped from **41 on Tuesday to 58 on Thursday**. The September goal is 60, so only two more are needed. The new checklist went live as activations reached 52.

The support lead hire is **blocked**. Maya Chen’s final interview is complete and her offer packet is drafted, but Lake & Pine has not returned the single reference check. Recruiting has the correct number, and there is no other blocker. The hiring goal is September 18.

Northstar Therapy remains the immediate renewal risk: one manager has completed onboarding, while the second is booked with Devon at 10:00 AM today. Its renewal owner said the account may churn unless both managers are active by Friday.

The billing export is healthy: it processed 312 invoices without delivery errors, and Finance found no missing invoices.

First thing today: get Lake & Pine’s reference returned so Maya’s hire can move forward.
