“Where should I start today?” I built an AI assistant agent

A developer built a GitHub-based AI assistant to prioritize daily work across multiple projects.

Shared and project-level context is stored in YAML files in a central GitHub Hub Repo.

Using Python and GitHub Actions, the assistant checks issue, PR, and commit status and posts a morning recommendation to Slack.

The setup was chosen over submodules, a separate API, and Notion MCP because it is simpler to maintain and keeps context in one place.
