Today
Composes today's agenda from multiple sources. There's no shell script — this skill runs inside the agent because it needs MCP tool access (calendar, email).
What to gather
- Calendar — today's events from the user's primary calendar via
Google_Calendar.list_events for the local-day window. Filter out all-day "context" events (vacations, OOO blocks) unless they're new today.
- Action-required emails —
Gmail.search_threads with newer_than:14h is:unread. Apply the same NOTIFY filter the urgent-email routine uses (recruiter scheduling, friends, legal/banking, anything URGENT). List sender + subject + 1-line ask.
- Active topics (optional) — if
brain/MEMORY.md exists, scan its index for entries marked active/in-progress. Mention only ones with same-day relevance (e.g. an open job decision, an upcoming interview today).
Output format
Tight bullets, emoji-anchored, MarkdownV2 if rendering for Telegram:
📅 Today
• 9:00 — standup
• 14:00 — Apple interview
✉️ Action emails
• Recruiter <sender>: scheduling for Thu
🎯 Active
• Cursor offer expected Mon
Skip any section that's empty — don't show "No emails" headers. If everything's empty, say "you're free 🌴".
When NOT to use
- The user is asking specifically about one source (just calendar, just email) — defer to the dedicated tool/query, don't over-aggregate.
- It's after 9pm local — the day is mostly behind them; suggest
/tomorrow instead.
