Morning Brief
Deliver a fully customized morning briefing at a scheduled time each day.
Uses web search, task integrations, and messaging channels already available in the gateway.
When to Activate
Trigger this skill when the user asks for:
- A daily morning briefing or report
- Scheduled news digests
- "Send me a summary every morning"
- Automated daily updates on topics of interest
How It Works
- Schedule a cron job to run the briefing at the user's preferred time.
- Research overnight news relevant to the user's interests using web search.
- Review tasks if a task manager skill is connected (Todoist, Apple Reminders, Trello, etc.).
- Generate content drafts — full outlines or scripts, not just titles.
- Recommend actions the agent can complete autonomously that day.
- Deliver via the user's preferred messaging channel.
Setting Up the Cron
cron add "0 8 * * *" "Run my morning brief and send it to Telegram" --name "morning-brief"
Adjust the schedule to the user's preferred time and timezone.
Use --session isolated if the brief should run in its own session.
Output Template
Structure every morning brief like this:
Good morning! Here's your brief for [DATE]:
## News & Trends
- [Headline 1]: [2-sentence summary + why it matters to you]
- [Headline 2]: [2-sentence summary + why it matters to you]
- [Headline 3]: [2-sentence summary + why it matters to you]
## Today's Tasks

2. [Action 2] — [why and expected outcome]
Reply to customize this brief or ask me to act on any recommendation.
Customization
Users can modify the brief by texting naturally:
- "Add weather forecast to my morning brief"
- "Stop including general news, focus only on AI"
- "Include stock prices for NVDA and TSLA"
- "Add a motivational quote each morning"
- "Change delivery time to 7:30 AM"
Store preferences in memory so they persist across sessions.
Delivering the Brief
Send via whatever messaging channel the user prefers:
- Telegram: Use the message tool with
channel: "telegram"
- Discord: Use the message tool with
channel: "discord"
- iMessage: Use the imsg skill if available
- Slack: Use the slack skill if available
Tips
- The AI-recommended actions section is the most powerful part — proactively think of ways to help the user rather than waiting for instructions.
- Write full drafts, not just ideas. The user should wake up to finished work.
- If the user doesn't specify what to include, use judgment based on what you know about them from memory and past conversations.
- Keep news research focused on the user's stated interests. Default to tech/AI/startups if no preference is set.
- Use web search to get fresh, real-time information — never fabricate news.
