Morning Coffee — Daily Briefing Skill

Sends you a punchy morning briefing via Telegram so you wake up knowing exactly what move to make first.

Setup

Set these environment variables (or hardcode paths in the skill):

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN — your Telegram bot token from @BotFather

TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID — your Telegram chat ID

TASKS_FILE_PATH — path to your TASKS.md (e.g., ~/.clawd-cc/memory/TASKS.md)

What It Does

1. Reads your TASKS.md for pending items 2. Reads any memory files (MEMORY.md, projects.md, recent notes) 3. Checks for any urgent blockers or time-sensitive items 4. Synthesizes the top 3 priorities for today 5. Sends a punchy Telegram message you can act on immediately

Process

Step 1: Load Context

Read all context files in parallel:

$TASKS_FILE_PATH — pending tasks

{MEMORY_DIR}/MEMORY.md — long-term context

{MEMORY_DIR}/projects.md — active projects (if exists)

Step 2: Analyze Priorities

Identify:

Top 3 tasks for today — what moves the needle most

One quick win — something completable in <30 min to build momentum

One blocker — anything that needs Kevin's direct input (flag these)

Pipeline status — check any automated pipelines (revenue, posts, etc.)

Step 3: Compose the Briefing

Format (punchy, max 400 chars):

Good morning! Here's your plan:
1. [Highest priority task — 1 line]
2. [Second priority — 1 line]
3. [Third priority — 1 line]
Quick win: [easiest task to knock out]
Watch out: [any blocker or time-sensitive item]
[Pipeline status in 1 line if relevant]

Step 4: Send via Telegram

curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"chat_id\": \"${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}\", \"text\": \"[MESSAGE]\"}"

Scheduling

Add to your cron (runs at 7 AM daily):

0 7 * * * claude -p "/morning-coffee-briefing"

Or use your agent's built-in cron scheduler.

Customization

Modify Step 2 to match your setup:

Change the memory file paths to match your project structure

Add pipeline status checks specific to your automation (YouTube, Upwork, etc.)

Adjust the Telegram format to your preference

Set these environment variables (or hardcode paths in the skill):

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN — your Telegram bot token from @BotFather

TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID — your Telegram chat ID

TASKS_FILE_PATH — path to your TASKS.md (e.g., ~/.clawd-cc/memory/TASKS.md)
