= CIPHER Morning Ritual =

AI-powered daily planning system that runs on first terminal boot. Added December 2025.

== Overview ==

CIPHER analyzes your entire digital context and suggests 12 pomodoros ranked by priority. You select your top tasks via fzf multi-select.

'''Location:''' <code>~/.dotfiles/bin/morning-ritual</code>

== Context Gathered ==

The system pulls from multiple sources:
* Things.app tasks (Today + Anytime lists)
* Calendar events via icalBuddy
* Recent git activity across ~/code
* Command history patterns
* GitHub notifications and PRs awaiting review
* Obsidian week note + 5 recent docs
* Day/time energy state (weekend vs weekday)

== Architecture ==

== CIPHER Personality ==

Terse, insightful. William Gibson meets Unix philosophy. Dry wit with competence.

Uses geometric symbols: ◆ ◇ ○ ●

== Usage ==

<pre>
morning-ritual              # Force run
rm /tmp/morning_ritual/last_run && morning-ritual  # Reset today
</pre>

The ritual runs automatically on first terminal boot each day. The lock file prevents re-running unless manually cleared.

== Integration ==

Part of <code>.startup.sh</code> which sources on shell init. Checks for existing lock file before running to avoid interrupting workflow.
