daily-briefing

What This Skill Does

The daily-briefing skill acts as a personal chief-of-staff for your AI agent. It transforms disorganized data—like calendar events, scattered to-do lists, and local weather—into a cohesive, actionable morning summary. By processing the BRIEFING.md configuration file, the agent understands your specific preferences for timing, location, and the desired sections to include. This ensures that you receive a structured overview of your day, highlighting top-priority tasks, pending responsibilities, and optional news updates, all delivered to your preferred communication channel (such as Discord or Telegram).

Installation

To install this skill, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/clawdssen/agent-daily-briefing. Once installed, create a BRIEFING.md file in your root workspace directory. Follow the template provided in the documentation to set your delivery time, location, and preferred content sections. After configuration, you can automate delivery using the /cron command or integrate it into your existing HEARTBEAT.md file for automated morning checks.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for professionals and individuals seeking to eliminate morning cognitive load. Use it to automatically aggregate your Google Calendar events alongside project management tools like GitHub issues or a local TODO.md file. It is ideal for remote workers needing a quick status report before starting their day, executives tracking multiple streams of information, or anyone wanting to streamline their daily planning routine without opening five different applications.

Example Prompts

1. "Give me my daily briefing right now."
2. "What does my schedule look like today? Please run the daily-briefing skill."
3. "Hey agent, compile my morning briefing including today's weather and my top three tasks."

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of this skill, ensure your TODO.md or task sources are kept up-to-date. If you rely on the Cron trigger, ensure your system clock is correctly synchronized to prevent delivery shifts. Note that news features depend on your agent's current web-search capabilities; if the agent lacks access to search, it will skip those sections. Always review your BRIEFING.md settings periodically as your schedule or location changes to maintain the relevance of the briefings.
