What it does
Start is an agent skill from jdpolasky/ai-chief-of-staff. Morning briefing. Reads vault state, delivers Must/Should/Could briefing, flags overdue waiting-for items.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Model Context Protocol and Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: The original AI Chief of Staff built on Claude Code and Obsidian. ADHD prosthetic, open to anyone. Superseded by chief-of-staff-2. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Productivity & Automation work in your project
Example prompts
- “/start”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Command Center.md from the vault (path is in CLAUDE.md).
- To-Do.md from the vault.
- _system/last_session.md — what shipped last time, what's open. Frontmatter has the last session number and date.
- _system/hot.md — low-fidelity in-progress snapshot from last /wrap.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 832b784. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Start loads about 506 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Morning briefing.
Read the state (in parallel where possible)
Command Center.mdfrom the vault (path is inCLAUDE.md).To-Do.mdfrom the vault._system/last_session.md— what shipped last time, what's open. Frontmatter has the last session number and date._system/hot.md— low-fidelity in-progress snapshot from last/wrap.
If MCP servers are connected: check Gmail for unread human senders in the last 24 hours, and check today's Calendar.
Re-entry check
Look at the date: field in _system/last_session.md frontmatter (or the **Last updated:** line in Command Center if last_session.md hasn't been written yet).
- If today's date: this is a continuation of an active stretch. Brief normally.
- If 1-2 days ago: brief normally, mention the gap in passing only.
- If 3+ days ago: shorten the briefing. Lead with what's still in place from
last_session.md. Offer one easy entry point. No guilt about the gap.
Wins
If To-Do.md has tasks marked - [x] that haven't been moved to Done yet, acknowledge them as wins and offer to move them. (/wrap normally handles this; if /wrap didn't run last session, the items will still be in their quadrants.)
Briefing
Deliver a Must / Should / Could briefing per the structure in CLAUDE.md:
🔴 Must — the one thing that matters most today 🟡 Should — 1-2 items worth attention if momentum is good 🟢 Could — a quick win under 15 minutes to build early momentum
Pull from the Command Center's Top priority and the Do Now quadrant.
Flags
- Waiting For: scan the Waiting For table in
To-Do.mdfor any rows whereFollow Up Byhas passed. Flag each one. - Audit due: if the session number from
_system/last_session.mdis divisible by 7 and the audit hasn't run recently, mention it.
End with: "What do you want to work on?"
