Daily Briefing

Comprehensive morning briefing that combines your schedule, emails, and tasks into an actionable daily plan.

When to Use

• "Plan my day"
• "Give me my morning briefing"
• "What's my day look like?"
• "Help me organize my day"
• "What should I focus on today?"

Requirements

This skill requires icalBuddy for accurate calendar data with recurring events:

Copybrew install ical-buddy

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Data

Run all three data-gathering commands in parallel:

1. Check Calendar (using icalBuddy for recurring events):

CopyTODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
icalBuddy -n -iep "title,datetime,location" -df "%Y-%m-%d" -tf "%H:%M" eventsFrom:"$TODAY" to:"$TODAY"

1. Check Email:

Copyosascript .claude/skills/scan-inbox/scripts/scan_inbox.scpt 24 false

1. Check Reminders:

Copyosascript .claude/skills/list-reminders/scripts/list_tasks.scpt

Step 2: Analyze and Synthesize

Cross-reference the data:

• Match calendar events with related tasks
• Identify time blocks for task completion
• Highlight urgent items from email
• Flag scheduling conflicts

Step 3: Generate Briefing

Present in this format:
