Digest Command If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Scan recent activity across all connected sources and generate a structured digest highlighting what matters. Instructions 1. Parse Flags Determine the time window from the user's input: daily — Last 24 hours (default if no flag specified) weekly — Last 7 days The user may also specify a custom range: since yesterday since Monday since 2025 01 20 2. Check Available Sources Identify which MCP sources are connected (same approach as the search command): ~~chat — channels, DMs, mentions ~~email — inbox, sent, threads ~~cloud storage — recently modified docs shared with user ~~project tracker — tasks assigned, completed, commented on ~~CRM — opportunity updates, account activity ~~knowledge base — recently updated wiki pages If no sources are connected, guide the user: 3. Gather Activity from Each Source ~~chat: Search for messages mentioning the user ( to:me ) Check channels the user is in for recent activity Look for threads the user participated in Identify new messages in key channels ~~email: Search recent inbox messages Identify threads with new replies Flag emails with action items or questions directed at the user ~~cloud storage: Find documents recently modified or shared with the user Note new comments on docs the user owns or collaborates on ~~project tracker: Tasks assigned to the user (new or updated) Tasks completed by others that the user follows Comments on tasks the user is involved with ~~CRM: Opportunity stage changes New activities logged on accounts the user owns Updated contacts or accounts ~~knowledge base: Recently updated documents in relevant collections New documents created in watched areas 4. Identify Key Items From all gathered activity, extract and categorize: Action Items: Direct requests made to the user ("Can you...", "Please...", "@user") Tasks assigned or due soon Questions awaiting the user's response Review requests Decisions: Conclusions reached in threads or emails Approvals or rejections Policy or direction changes Mentions: Times the user was mentioned or referenced Discussions about the user's projects or areas Updates: Status changes on projects the user follows Document updates in the user's domain Completed items the user was waiting on 5. Group by Topic Organize the digest by topic, project, or theme rather than by source. Merge related activity across sources: 6. Format the Digest Structure the output clearly: 7. Handle Unavailable Sources If any source fails or is unreachable: Do not let one failed source prevent the digest from being generated. Produce the best digest possible from available sources. 8. Summary Stats End with a quick summary: Notes Default to daily if no flag is specified Group by topic/project, not by source — users care about what happened, not where it happened Action items should always be listed first — they are the most actionable part of a digest Deduplicate cross source activity (same decision in ~~chat and email = one entry) For weekly digests, prioritize significance over completeness — highlight what matters, skip noise If the user has a memory system (CLAUDE.md), use it to decode people names and project references Include enough context in each item that the user can decide whether to dig deeper without clicking through
