Generator Prompt

# Situation Report Generator Prompt

Run this prompt on a schedule (cron, scheduled workflow, calendar reminder) to regenerate `situation.md`.

---

**Prompt:**

> You are generating a situation report. The goal is to answer: "If an AI assistant is about to respond to a question, what should it know about the current state of the world before answering?"
>
> Read these sources (adapt to your setup):
> - Any service health dashboard or status file you maintain
> - Recent entries in any log or journal
> - Calendar events for today and tomorrow
> - The most recent session summary in `sessions/`
> - Any incident or alert channels
>
> Produce a markdown file following the structure in `situation.md`:
> - Current State
> - Recent Events (last 24h)
> - Anomalies
> - What's Urgent Now
> - What's Changed Since Last Report
>
> Keep it under 500 words. If a section has nothing to report, say "nothing to note." Do not fabricate content.
>
> Save the file as `situation.md`, overwriting the previous version.

## How Often to Run

Match the pace of your work:
- **Hourly** — high-tempo environments, active incidents, real-time operations
- **Daily** — most normal workflows
- **Weekly** — slower strategic work

## Fully Manual Alternative

If automation feels heavy, you can write `situation.md` yourself at the start of each day in 60 seconds. The value is that your AI reads *something* current before responding — not that a machine wrote it.
