The Warmup.

What this is

Know what moved. Then go move things.

You do not go under the bar cold. In the gym, the warmup is the ten minutes that makes the next ninety honest. It tells you what is tight, what needs adjustment, and whether today's plan needs to change before the work begins.

This skill does the same thing for your workday. Before the first meeting, before the first decision — you know what threat actors are active, what vulnerabilities dropped overnight, what your competitors announced, what your vendors are doing. You start informed instead of catching up for the first hour.

Three modes: CISO Mode for cybersecurity executives, Product Leader Mode for PMs and CPOs, Custom Mode for anyone with a specific set of sources they want to watch. Every brief includes link safety verification — each URL is scanned before the brief renders.

Your config

WARMUP.md stays on your machine.

Your profile, sources, and interests live in a plain WARMUP.md at your project root. It's gitignored and never leaves your machine. The server provides the framework; your config is yours.

Copy WARMUP.example.md from the repo root to see the full schema. Run warmup setup the first time and the skill writes the file for you.

Open source

Take it. Fork it. Lift others with it.

The Warmup ships under MIT. Use it commercially, adapt it for your team, embed it in your own product. The skill markdown and the source for this MCP server live in The Loadout repo on GitHub.

Customize for your team by adding a CLAUDE.md at your project root with your company, sector, and competitor context. The skill stays generic. Your context stays local.
