Morning Briefing

Start your day with a single summary of everything that matters. This skill pulls your unread emails, today's calendar, pending tasks, and local weather into one concise briefing — delivered to your Telegram, Discord, or saved as a daily file.

Run it on a cron every morning, or trigger it on-demand whenever you need a status check.

What You Get

• Unread email summary (count + top 5 by priority)
• Today's calendar events with times and locations
• Pending tasks or reminders from your task system
• Local weather forecast (temperature, conditions, rain probability)
• All in one message — no switching between 4 different apps

Setup

Required

• Email access — Gmail (via Gmail API/skill) or any email provider your agent can read
• Calendar access — Google Calendar API or Apple Calendar

Optional (but recommended)

• Weather — No API key needed. Your agent can fetch weather from any free source (wttr.in, Open-Meteo, etc.)
• Task system — If you use a task manager (Todoist, Asana, Notion, plain text files), tell your agent where tasks live
• Delivery channel — Telegram bot, Discord bot, or file output. If no channel is configured, the briefing is saved to memory/briefings/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Configuration

Tell your agent these preferences (it will store them in memory):

1. Your timezone — so the cron fires at the right local time
2. Briefing time — when you want it (default: 7:30 AM local)
3. Email account — which inbox to scan
4. Calendar — which calendar(s) to check
5. Weather location — your city or zip code
6. Delivery — where to send the briefing (Telegram, Discord, file)
7. Format preference — concise (bullet points) or detailed (with email previews)

How It Works

When triggered (by cron or on-demand), your agent executes this workflow:

Step 1: Gather Email

• Check your inbox for unread messages
• Count total unread
• Identify the top 5 by sender importance and subject urgency
• For each: sender name, subject line, 1-sentence preview
• Flag anything that looks urgent (keywords: urgent, ASAP, deadline, overdue, payment)

Step 2: Gather Calendar

• Pull today's events from your calendar
• For each: event name, start time, end time, location (if any), attendees count
• Highlight the next upcoming event with a countdown ("Team standup in 45 minutes")
• Note any conflicts (overlapping events)

Step 3: Gather Tasks

• Check your task system for items due today or overdue
• List up to 5 most important tasks
• Note any overdue items with how many days overdue
• If no task system is configured, skip this section

Step 4: Gather Weather

• Fetch today's weather for the configured location
• Include: current temperature, high/low, conditions (sunny/cloudy/rain), precipitation probability
• Add a practical note if relevant ("Bring an umbrella — 80% chance of rain after 3 PM")

Step 5: Compile & Deliver

Compile everything into a clean briefing format:
