Daily-Prep

# Daily Prep

Generate a structured prep file for the next working day with meeting details, prep bullets, linked tasks, and productivity recommendations.

When to Use

- End of day: "prepare me for tomorrow"

- Any time: "prep me for Friday" or "what does March 25 look like?"

- Weekly planning: run for multiple days

Procedure

1. Determine Target Date

If the user specifies a date, use it. Otherwise, default to tomorrow (current date + 1 day).

If tomorrow is Saturday, default to Monday. If Sunday, default to Monday.

Compute the output path: `outputs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-prep.html`

2. Pull Calendar via WorkIQ

Use the WorkIQ MCP tool to fetch the calendar. Ask WorkIQ:

> "What meetings do I have on {target date}? For each meeting, include: subject, start time, end time, organizer, all attendees with their email addresses, location, whether it's online, and whether I've accepted or declined."

If the response is insufficient, make a follow-up query:

> "For the meetings on {target date}, which ones are marked as optional or tentative? Which ones are recurring?"

3. Classify Each Meeting

Apply these labels based on attendee domains and subject:

| Label | Criteria |

|-------|----------|

| `[Customer · HIGH]` | External attendees from customer/partner domains, or subject matches a known customer name |

| `[Internal]` | Only internal company domain attendees |

| `[Community]` | CoP, community, guild, learning sessions |

| `[Upskilling]` | Training, workshop, certification, learning |

| `[Optional · skip]` | Tentative, low importance, or known recurring optional (e.g., "Office Hours", "Open Q&A") |

| `[Personal]` | Private events, non-work |

#### Zone Markers

For every meeting, check the organizer field and apply these additional markers:

| Condition | Marker | Action |

|-----------|--------|--------|

| Starts ≥ 15:30 and < 16:00 (any organizer) | `⚠️ After-hours` | Recommend decline |

| Starts ≥ 16:00 and **not** self-organized | `⚠️ After-hours` | Recommend decline |

| Starts ≥ 16:00 and self-organized | _(no flag)_ | OK — you chose to schedule it |

| Before 09:00 and **not** self-organized | `⚠️ Early` | Recommend decline — intrudes on learning window |

| Before 09:00 and self-organized | _(no flag)_ | OK — you chose to schedule it |

| Overlaps 12:00–13:00 | `🍽️ Lunch conflict` | Note in Calendar Notes |

"Self-organized" means **you** are the meeting organizer (check the organizer field from WorkIQ).

4. Ideal Day Structure

Use this as the decision framework for all analysis steps. Every meeting must be evaluated against these zones. Users should adapt these times and targets to their personal routine.

| Zone | Time | Purpose | Rules |

|------|------|---------|-------|

| Morning Focus | Before 09:00 | Admin, learning, personal work | Protect from others' meetings. Flag external events. |

| Customer Zone | 09:00–12:00 | Customer / external meetings | Max 2 customer meetings. Prefer mornings for external calls. |

| Lunch | 12:00–13:00 | Break | Protected. Flag any overlap. |

| Deep Work | 13:00–15:30 | Deliverables, focused coding/writing | Minimize meetings. Flag non-essential meetings as deep work disruption. |

| Protected (strict) | 15:30–16:00 | End of day wind-down | Flag all meetings regardless of organizer. |

| Protected (flex) | 16:00+ | End of day | Flag others' meetings only. Self-organized OK. |

**Targets per day:**

- Learning hours: **1.5h** (from morning focus + gap time)

- Deep work hours: **2.5h** (13:00–15:30 zone)

- Customer meetings: **max 2** (preferably in 09:00–12:00)

5. Detect Conflicts & Day Fit Issues

Compare event time windows. Flag overlaps in a Conflicts table with a recommendation for each — prioritize customer meetings over internal/optional.

Also detect these **day fit issues** (report in a separate "Day Fit Issues" table):

| Check | Condition | Flag |

|-------|-----------|------|

| **Customer overload** | >2 `[Customer · HIGH]` meetings | Flag 3rd+ as "Consider re
