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:

    🌅 Morning Briefing — [Day, Month Date]
    📧 EMAIL (X unread)
• [Sender] — [Subject] (preview)
• [Sender] — [Subject] (preview)
• [Sender] — [Subject] (preview)
🔴 [X] flagged as urgent
    📅 CALENDAR
• 9:00 AM — Team standup (Google Meet)
• 11:30 AM — Client call with [Name] (Zoom)
• 2:00 PM — Dentist appointment
⏰ Next up: Team standup in 45 minutes
    ✅ TASKS
• [Task 1] — due today
• [Task 2] — due today
• [Task 3] — 2 days overdue ⚠️
    🌤️ WEATHER — [City]
72°F / 22°C — Partly cloudy
High 78° Low 65° | Rain: 10%
    Have a great day! ☕

    Send via configured delivery channel, or save to memory/briefings/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

    Step 6: Schedule (Cron Setup)

    Set up a cron job to run this briefing every morning:

  • Schedule: Daily at configured time (default 7:30 AM local)
  • Task: Run morning briefing workflow
  • Output: Deliver to configured channel

    • Your agent should use its cron/scheduling system (LaunchAgents on Mac, cron on Linux, or the agent's built-in scheduler) to trigger this automatically.

    Examples

    User: "Give me my morning briefing"

    Agent runs the workflow and responds:

    > 🌅 Morning Briefing — Monday, March 10 > > 📧 EMAIL (12 unread) > • Sarah Chen — Q1 Budget Review (needs your approval by EOD) > • Mike Torres — Updated contract draft (3 attachments) > • Newsletter — TechCrunch Daily (skip) > 🔴 1 flagged as urgent: Sarah's budget review > > 📅 CALENDAR > • 9:30 AM — Product sync (Google Meet, 6 attendees) > • 1:00 PM — Lunch with Dave (The Mill, downtown) > • 3:00 PM — Investor update prep (45 min block) > ⏰ Next up: Product sync in 1 hour 15 minutes > > ✅ TASKS > • Send revised proposal to Acme Corp — due today > • Review PR #247 — due today > • Follow up with Lisa re: partnership — 1 day overdue ⚠️ > > 🌤️ WEATHER — San Francisco > 58°F / 14°C — Foggy, clearing by noon > High 64° Low 52° | Rain: 5%

    User: "Set up my morning briefing for 6:45 AM every day on Telegram"

    Agent: Configures cron for 6:45 AM, sets Telegram as delivery, confirms: > "Morning briefing scheduled for 6:45 AM daily. I'll send it to your Telegram. You'll get your first one tomorrow morning."

    Customization Ideas

  • Add news headlines — include top 3 stories from your industry
  • Add stock/crypto prices — if you track specific tickers
  • Add team updates — pull from Slack/Discord channels
  • Weekend mode — different format on Sat/Sun (skip work email, add fun stuff)
  • Travel mode — include flight status, hotel info, local tips when traveling

    • Want More?

    This skill gives you a solid daily briefing. But if you want:

  • Custom integrations — connect to your CRM, project management tool, invoicing system, or any API your business uses
  • Advanced automations — briefings that trigger actions (auto-reply to urgent emails, create tasks from calendar items, send reminders to your team)
  • Full system setup — identity, memory, security, and 5 custom automations built specifically for your workflow
