Daily morning brief texted to iMessage from Google Calendar and Linear

Build me a personal morning brief that runs on a cron schedule, every weekday (Monday through Friday) at 7am in my local timezone, and texts me one cohesive iMessage with the day ahead.

Each run, the agent should:

1. Call Google Calendar List Events on my primary calendar for today's date range (00:00 to 23:59 in my timezone), expanding recurring events into instances. Capture each event's title, start time, attendees, and whether it has a description or agenda.

2. Call Linear List Issues filtered to issues assigned to me with state In Progress or Todo and a due date within this week (today through Sunday). Capture title, identifier, due date, priority, and the Linear URL.

3. Synthesize the two sources into a short, scannable brief that highlights: the top 3 meetings for today with their times and a couple of attendee names, the top 3 Linear issues I should push on (sorted by overdue first, then priority, then due date), and a single one-line "watch out for" callout if any meeting is missing an agenda or any issue is already overdue. If there's nothing notable to call out, omit the watch-out line rather than padding it.

4. Send the result via LoopMessage Send Message as a single iMessage to my own contact (I'll provide the phone number when I set this up). The whole message must stay under 1000 characters so it renders as one bubble. Use compact formatting (short labels, no markdown headings, line breaks instead of bullets).

Important LoopMessage rules to respect: do not include any links, email addresses, phone numbers, or currency amounts if this is the first message of a new conversation, because the initial opt-in path forbids them. If LoopMessage indicates we're already in an active conversation with this contact (i.e. they've replied recently), it's fine to include short Linear issue URLs inline for the top issues; otherwise leave URLs out entirely.

Handle light days gracefully: if I have zero events and zero open issues for the week, send a one-line message saying it's a quiet morning rather than skipping the send. If either API call fails, send a brief fallback message noting which source was unavailable so I know to check manually, rather than failing silently.

At setup, ask me for my timezone, the iMessage contact (phone in +E.164 format) to text, and confirm which Linear workspace and Google account to use.

Additional information

What does this prompt do?

Pulls today's events from your primary Google Calendar and your active Linear issues for the week.
Synthesizes both into a scannable brief: top 3 meetings with times and attendees, top 3 issues to push on, plus a one-line watch-out for anything risky.
Texts the result to your own phone as a single iMessage bubble so it lands cleanly on your lock screen.
Runs automatically every weekday at 7am in your timezone, with no buttons to press.

What do I need to use this?

A Google account with calendar access.
A Linear account where issues are assigned to you.
A LoopMessage account connected to your own phone number or iMessage contact.
Your timezone, so the 7am schedule fires at the right hour.

How can I customize it?

Shift the schedule to a different time of day, or run it on weekends too.
Swap the recipient to a different phone number, or send the brief to a partner or chief of staff.
Change the filters: focus on a specific Linear team, only meetings with external guests, or issues due today instead of this week.
Adjust the watch-out rules, for example flag meetings with more than five attendees or issues that have not moved in a week.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get spammed if my calendar is empty?

No. The brief gracefully handles light days and just tells you it's a quiet morning instead of sending a blank message.

Can I send the brief to someone else's phone instead of mine?

Yes. Point LoopMessage at any iMessage contact. Just remember that the very first text to a new contact has to be a plain opt-in with no links.

Why iMessage instead of Slack or email?

Because the morning brief is personal. iMessage lands on your lock screen, doesn't pull you into work apps, and disappears once you've read it.

What if I use Jira or Asana instead of Linear?

The same pattern works. Swap Linear for your task tracker of choice and the agent will adapt the filters and formatting.

How long does the brief get?

It stays under 1000 characters so it renders as a single iMessage bubble. The agent prioritizes the most important meetings and issues rather than dumping everything.
