Read excerpt
> **${var}** — selector. **Empty (default)** = the ambient fleet check — the live path a cron runs once a day; leave it empty for the scheduled run. **`brief`** = the priority brief. See the grammar below.
## Selector / `${var}` grammar
- **`` (empty)** — **Ambient check** across all skills / PRs / issues, and regenerate the public status page. This is the live, scheduled path (08:00 UTC daily); its behaviour is unchanged. Leave `${var}` empty for the cron.
- **`<area>`** (any non-empty value that is not `brief`, e.g. `crypto`, `prs`) — **Ambient check**, with the checks focused on that area (original heartbeat focus-area behaviour).
- **`brief`** — **Priority brief**: rank the 3 things to focus on today, why now, and what moved since yesterday; send via `./notify` + email.
- **`brief:<area>`** (e.g. `brief:crypto`) — **Priority brief** biased toward `<area>`.
## Shared setup (every run)
Read `memory/MEMORY.md` and the last 2 days of `memory/logs/` for context.
Parse `${var}` to pick the branch:
- **starts with `brief`** (i.e. `brief` or `brief:<area>`) → run the **Priority brief** branch. Any text after `brief:` is the emphasis area.
