Zee Briefs — canonical spec (Sam's ChatGPT scheduled tasks → target for cloud replication)

Captured 2026-07-01. Sam runs these as ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks (daily, connected to his personal Gmail, delivered as a text/notification). Goal: fold the operational ones into the ops-api cloud morning brief so they come from HIS unified system (queue + portal + Telegram), not a separate app. The news one (World Brief) is the open question — see integration notes.

The scheduled tasks (from the ChatGPT "Scheduled" panel, 2026-07-01)

Email Attention Scan — Daily 8:00 AM. Prompt: "Scan my recent Gmail for anything that needs my attention, focusing on family, school, camp, and medical emails. Ignore promotions and newsletters by default. Notify me only if there is something actionable, urgent, deadline-related, or important enough that I should see it; include who it is from, what changed, why it matters, and the next action. If nothing needs attention, do not notify me." — Example hit: "Homeowners insurance payment follow-up — Pinchus Chein (Chein Insurance)."
Zee Command Brief — chief-of-staff operational brief (spec below).
Zee World Brief — Orthodox-Jewish-operator world/news brief (spec below).
Others seen: Personal Operator Briefing, Yahrzeit Candle Prompt, Daily Briefing Setup.

ZEE COMMAND BRIEF — spec

Timestamp prominently (local time). Review Gmail inbox / sent / drafts / calendar / prior context. Think chief-of-staff, not forensic investigator.
Operator rules: surface only (changes since last brief · newly overdue · approaching deadlines · escalated risk · unknown-status); assume prior reports known; don't narrate process/sources; no repetition; collapse related into one issue; hide noise; unchanged >7d → STALE WATCHLIST (re-show only if deadline changed / risk up / new info); tag URGENT vs IMPORTANT vs WATCHLIST; every item answers "why do I care today?"; >3 P0 → force-rank; under 600 words; if info unavailable, omit the section (don't discuss limits).
Sections: 1 Executive Summary (≤5 bullets: changed / worse / needs-attention-today) · 2 Today's Critical Items (≤5: issue/why/next-action/owner) · 3 Deadlines ≤14d (P0/P1/P2) · 4 Money (overdue / cashflow / banking / credit / incoming — meaningful only) · 5 Family (family/school/camp/travel/medical/anniversaries/birthdays) · 6 Project Watchlist (movement/risk only: Orlando STR, Eden, LevSMS, Hook Street, Capital, Command Center) · 7 Waiting On Others (attorneys/vendors/VAs/guests/CPAs/banks) · 8 Delegated Items (who owns what) · 9 Open Loops (≤10: Do/Delegate/Defer/Delete) · 10 Stale Watchlist (>7d, one line each) · 11 Things I Can Ignore Today (≤5) · 12 One Move.

ZEE WORLD BRIEF — spec

Timestamp prominently. Feel like an intelligent Orthodox Jewish operator's morning briefing; signal over volume.
Sections: 1 What Changed Overnight · 2 World (geopolitics/econ/business/tech/energy/security — no celebrity/sports/drama/outrage/clickbait) · 3 Israel (security/gov/econ/tech/religious-community) · 4 Orthodox Jewish World (communal/rabbinic/legislation/education/security/philanthropy/projects — no gossip/lashon hara/rumors/shul politics) · 5 Community Signals (Five Towns, Brooklyn, Lakewood, Monsey, Passaic, Baltimore, S.Florida, LA — if noteworthy) · 6 Markets (S&P/Nasdaq/Russell/10Y/Fed/Oil/Gold/BTC — why it matters) · 7 Jewish Calendar (Hebrew+English date, day, parsha, R"Ch/fast/YT/Omer) · 8 Friday Shabbos (N. Woodmere: candle-lighting, earliest, havdalah, R"Tam, parsha) · 9 Jewish Music & Events (if noteworthy) · 10 The 5 Things That Actually Matter Today.
Friday: replace §12 with Pre-Shabbos Landing (money that can't wait til Sunday · family · guests/travel · property emergencies · calls before candle-lighting · calendar through Tuesday · one thing to close before Shabbos). Readable in <5 min.

Cloud integration plan (ops-api morning brief)

Email Attention Scan → FOLD IN. The Worker already has an email path (/morning/emailscan; Apps Script holds Sam's Gmail). Add a "🔎 Needs your attention (email)" section = actionable family/school/camp/medical items with who/what-changed/why/next-action. Highest-value add — it's the piece the current cloud brief lacks.
Zee Command Brief → UPGRADE the current cloud brief prompt to this full 12-section chief-of-staff structure (already has queue/money/MIS/STR/Jewish-cal; add deadlines/waiting-on/delegated/stale/ignore/one-move + <600w + the operator rules).
Zee World Brief (news) → the one that needs a news pipeline: the Worker CANNOT browse the web the way ChatGPT does. Options: (a) keep it in ChatGPT (it works — don't rebuild what works), or (b) build RSS/news-API ingestion (Israel/Orthodox/markets feeds) + LLM summarize. Decision pending Sam. Markets + Jewish-calendar pieces are already cloud-doable (MIS + Hebcal); the world/Israel/Orthodox news is the gap.
