# Morning Brief

Run the morning-brief recipe and deliver results to the Patchwork OS Inbox.

## Steps

1. Run `Bash` with command: `patchwork-os recipe run morning-brief`
2. Confirm the output file was written to `~/.patchwork/inbox/`
3. Report the file path and a one-line summary of what was written

## Guidelines

- If Gmail returns 0 emails, still write the brief with the git activity section
- If the recipe fails, report the error clearly — do not retry automatically
- Keep the confirmation message under 3 lines
