Morning Check-in

Daily planning template added to your journal at 8 AM

A cron job that adds a morning planning template to today's journal at 8 AM. The agent fills in what it worked on overnight. I fill in the rest when I sit down.

Setup Prompt (Cron Job)

Create a cron job called "Daily Morning Check-in" that runs at
8:00 AM [your timezone] every day.

It should:
1. Read today's journal file. Create it if it doesn't exist.
2. Check if a morning check-in already exists (search for
   "Daily Morning Check-in"). If yes, skip.
3. Check memory files for any overnight work you completed.
4. Append the morning check-in template. Fill in ONLY the
   "Overnight report" section with what you actually did.
   Leave all other sections blank for me to complete.
5. Send me a message letting me know it's ready.
6. Log completion in today's memory file.

Use the template EXACTLY as shown. Do not add or remove sections.
