# 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

Setup

Required

Optional (but recommended)

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

Step 2: Gather Calendar

Step 3: Gather Tasks

Step 4: Gather Weather

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:

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.
