Introduction

Every morning as a developer, I was doing the same thing: opening GitHub to check notifications, switching to Gmail to scan for anything urgent, trying to mentally piece together what needed my attention and in what order. It was not a big problem, but it was a constant one. Small context switches that added up.

I wanted something simple: a tool that pulls all of that together, tells me what I have, flags what is urgent, and suggests what to tackle first. No dashboard to maintain, no browser tab to open. Just run it and get your day's context.

That is what I built: a command-line dev assistant that connects to GitHub and Gmail, fetches real data from both, and uses an LLM to return a plain-text summary with priorities and a suggested daily plan.
