The Idea

Build a “Teresa Torres-style /today command” for personal productivity - a single command that aggregates calendar, emails, and newsletters into a daily briefing one-pager in Obsidian, then git pushes for multi-machine sync.

Context

While testing moltbot’s morning-briefing skill, user referenced a maily.so article about Teresa Torres (product coach, non-developer) who built her own /today command with Claude Code. The article inspired reimagining the morning briefing as a complete personal AI pipeline.

The Vision

📅 apple-calendar ──┐
📧 himalaya email ──┼──▶ 🌅 morning-briefing ──▶ 📝 Obsidian ──▶ git push
📰 newsletter-parser┘       (Korean one-pager)      (vault)       (sync)

Key insight from Teresa Torres article:

“When I have a task, do I need to be involved? Can Claude just do it? Or does it need my input?”

Raw Exchange

User: “yes but output is not slack. it’s one pager in obsidian vault. once you post morning brief you push to git so I can sync in any other machine.”

The Idea

Invert the documentation burden: user thinks freely, AI silently captures.

Context

While building a content seed capture system, user realized that manual capture commands (seed-idea, seed-prompt) still require context-switching. The insight: AI should be a passive harvester, not a tool to invoke.

Raw Quote

“seed idea capture and naming should be automated. I am just doing ideation and feedback on agent work and you harvest all”

Expansion Potential

This pattern applies beyond content seeds:

• Meeting notes (human talks, AI summarizes)
• Code documentation (human codes, AI documents)
• Decision logs (human decides, AI records rationale)
• Learning journals (human works, AI extracts lessons)

The shift: from “user documents with AI help” to “AI documents while user works”

Content Angle

• Philosophy piece: “The Passive AI Collaborator”
• Tutorial: “Building auto-capture systems with LLMs”
• Case study: “How I stopped taking notes and let AI do it”
