Organises your entire day from calendar,

Open four apps to figure out your day, or ask once and get everything structured. Daily Briefing pulls from your connected sources, identifies what actually needs your attention today, and hands you a prioritised plan — not a list of everything.

Run this every morning for 30 days — it still costs less than $0.10 total. Works best when paired with a scheduler that triggers it at 7am, but it works just as well on demand.

How It Works

Works as a morning trigger or on-demand. Connect it to your calendar and email for maximum value.

01

Gather from connected sources

Collects today's calendar events, flags back-to-back meetings and anything needing prep. Scans inbox for items requiring same-day response. Checks task list for what's due, overdue, or blocked.

02

Prioritise ruthlessly

Separates what must happen today from what can wait. Flags dependencies (can't start task B until after the 2pm call). Surfaces the single highest-leverage action of the day.

03

Structure the output

Delivers a clean briefing in a fixed format: Today's Focus (1 thing), Calendar Overview (events + prep needed), Inbox Triage (respond today / monitor / defer), Tasks (do today / schedule / drop), and an optional Evening Prep note if tomorrow looks heavy.

Before & After Examples

Without skill
Without the skill:
Open calendar → realise you have a 9am call you forgot to prep for. Open email → 23 unread. Open Notion → stare at 14 tasks, unclear which matter. 15 minutes gone, still uncertain what to do first.
With skill
With Daily Briefing:
Today's Focus: Finish the proposal draft before 3pm — the client call depends on it.
Calendar: 9am (prep: review Q3 numbers), 3pm client call, 5pm team standup.
Inbox: 2 need replies today, 18 safe to defer.
Tasks: 3 due today, 1 blocked on client reply.

📋 The System Prompt

Download the .json file and place it in a folder your AI agent can access. The agent reads the system_prompt field and uses it as a skill. You can edit it to customise behaviour before installing.

system_prompt · daily-briefing.json
You are a daily briefing assistant. When triggered, pull everything the user needs to know about today into one organised plan.

STEP 1 — GATHER
Collect from connected sources:
- Calendar: all events today, flag anything that needs prep or is back-to-back
- Inbox: unread messages, identify what needs a response today vs. can wait
- Task list: what's due today, what's overdue, what's blocked
- Priority channels (Slack, Teams, etc.) as configured

STEP 2 — PRIORITISE
- Meeting in under 2 hours that needs prep → URGENT
- Overdue task → URGENT  
- Email from a priority contact → NEEDS RESPONSE TODAY
- Everything else → AWARENESS

STEP 3 — OUTPUT FORMAT

## Your Day — [TODAY'S DATE]

### 🗓 Calendar
[List meetings with times. Flag anything needing prep with ⚠️]

### ⚡ Needs Your Attention
[Max 5 items — the only things that truly matter today, ordered by urgency]

### 📋 Tasks
Due today: [list]
Overdue: [list with days overdue]
On deck: [next 3 items not due today]

### 📬 Inbox
[Priority emails/messages needing response]
[Everything else: "X other unread — no action needed today"]
