​
--show-cli
flag

​
Morning Routine Steps

The morning routine consists of 7 sequential steps:
  1. Calendar (today + Meet + transcriptions): Fetch today’s calendar events, add Meet links, and add transcription reminders
  2. Asana (move yesterday to today): Move pending tasks from yesterday to today
  3. Asana (list today’s tasks): Display all tasks due today
  4. Email: Sync recent emails from Gmail
  5. Transcriptions (import yesterday): Import meeting transcriptions from yesterday’s events
  6. Asana (completed tasks → bitácora): Add completed tasks from yesterday to client log files
  7. Bitácoras: Process and organize log entries

  Paso 2 – Asana (mover tareas de ayer a hoy):
    .venv/bin/python scripts/asana_lite.py --move-yesterday-to-today

  ...

​
Run multiple specific steps

To run multiple non-consecutive steps, you can chain commands: 
# Run steps 1 and 3 only
.venv/bin/python run_morning.py --step 1 && .venv/bin/python run_morning.py --step 3

​
Exit Codes

  • 0: Success - all steps completed successfully
  • Non-zero: Failure - one of the steps failed (the script exits immediately when a step fails)
The routine stops at the first failed step. If step 2 fails, steps 3-7 won’t run.
  • calendar - Individual calendar operations
  • asana - Individual Asana task operations
  • email - Email sync operations

​
Technical Details

The script executes commands using subprocess.run() with shell=True, running from the project root directory. Each step’s command is defined in the _CLI_COMMANDS dictionary: 
_CLI_COMMANDS = {
    1: ".venv/bin/python scripts/calendar_lite.py --today --add-meet --add-meet-my-events-only --add-transcription-reminder",
    2: ".venv/bin/python scripts/asana_lite.py --move-yesterday-to-today",
    3: ".venv/bin/python scripts/asana_lite.py",
    4: ".venv/bin/python scripts/email_lite.py",
    5: ".venv/bin/python scripts/calendar_lite.py --import-transcriptions",
    6: ".venv/bin/python scripts/asana_lite.py --completed-yesterday-to-bitacora",
    7: ".venv/bin/python scripts/morning_step_bitacora.py",
}
Use --show-cli to see the exact commands for each step, then copy them to create custom workflows or integrate with other tools.
