# Brain Briefs

Two modes.

## TODAY

Build a concise working brief from available context:
- today's calendar when the host can read it
- urgent or relevant email when the host can read it
- active project state
- relevant wiki context on people, clients, and topics

Do not claim email or calendar coverage when those connectors are unavailable.

Output:
- top priorities
- meetings or commitments
- context worth remembering
- risks or unanswered questions
- next concrete actions

## IDEAS

Search recent brain content and available connected sources for:
- repeated questions
- unresolved tensions
- surprising examples
- new facts that connect to older notes
- useful disagreements
- content angles with evidence

Hand promising content ideas to `content-matrix`, `post-writer`, or `create-from-brain`.

## Freshness

For a brief described as "today" or "this week", verify dates from the current host rather than relying on static knowledge.

## Creator Workspace handoff

Start with `workspace-recall` when the brief depends on stored context. Hand chosen ideas to `create-from-brain` or the narrowest production skill.
