Yes, the session-start briefing works with Obsidian todo dashboards and local git repositories. It parses the Todo dashboard to load tasks from the previous session and checks local git repositories for uncommitted changes, maintaining continuity across multiple projects and vaults.

The best way to automate situational awareness for research workflows is invoking a SessionStart hook that generates a real-time briefing. This approach summarizes deadlines, uncommitted code changes, and pending todos, reducing manual checks and speeding planning at the beginning of a work session.

No, you do not need multiple git repositories to use the automated session briefing. While it supports checking uncommitted changes across multiple local projects and vaults, it functions effectively for a single project by summarizing its git status, loaded todos, and countdown timelines.

If your session briefing is not loading previous todos correctly, the issue likely stems from the local Todo dashboard configuration. The tool parses this dashboard to retrieve tasks for continuity, so ensure the dashboard file is accessible and formatted correctly for the hook to read.
