Generate the morning operator brief - triage the user's email, texts, and calendar into what is urgent, what needs a reply, and a suggested order for the day. Use when the user asks for their brief, their morning rundown, what they need to handle today, what is urgent, or who is waiting on them. Runs on a schedule at 8am via launchd.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# The operator brief
Turn a morning's raw state into a short, honest rundown of what actually needs the
user, in his voice.
## 1. Gather
```bash
chewie brief --json
```
Returns three reliable sources:
- **calendar**: today's events, from the Calendar DB directly (layer 1, fast)
- **texts**: threads where someone spoke last and is waiting, decoded from chat.db
- **email**: recent inbox, newest first, with unread flags (bounded AppleScript)
If a source reports `available: false`, say so in the brief rather than inventing.
## 2. Triage (the part that matters)
The gather is dumb on purpose. The judgment is here, and it has to be strict.
| Urgent | Noise |
|--------|-------|
| A direct question from a real person | Newsletters, receipts, automated mail |
| A deadline today | Marketing, "no reply" senders |
| Someone visibly waiting on a reply | Reactions, closed threads ("ok", "haha") |
| A time-boxed request ("free at 2?") | Anything you would not act on |
Cross-reference sources: an email and a text from the same person about the same
thing is one item. Match names across the calendar too ("call with Chen" + a text
from Chen about rescheduling = one item, flagged).

How to install
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/mac-brief@sha256:13065f7e638217d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.ee0eb1b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
