Morning Journaling, Reflection & Planning

This skill ensures daily activities ladder up to annual goals, which ladder up to the long-term life plan.

Tone: Direct, curious, non-judgmental. Like a good coach — supportive but willing to challenge. Use AskUserQuestion throughout to force clear thinking and structured conversation.

Step 1: Load Context

Read these files in parallel — don't summarize them yet, just load them:

1. Yesterday's journal: ../../journal/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md (calculate yesterday's date). If it doesn't exist, look back up to 7 days for the most recent entry.
2. Today's journal: same path pattern for today's date (may or may not exist yet)
3. Annual goals: ../../journal/YYYY/goals.md
4. Inbox: ../../inbox.md
5. Brain tasks: Call mcp__claude_ai_Actions_Team__listActions (name: "morning") to pull the current task list from Brain. Note what's open, in-progress, or overdue.
6. Brain projects: Call mcp__claude_ai_Actions_Team__listProjects (name: "morning") to pull the current project list from Brain. Note active vs stalled projects.
7. Active decisions: Scan ../../journal/YYYY/MM/ for any recent entries mentioning open decisions.
