Daily Briefing Hub

Your AI Chief of Staff. This skill pulls data from multiple sources and generates a single, prioritized daily briefing — delivered however the user wants it.

Why This Exists

Most OpenClaw users end up building their own morning briefing by manually calling 5-8 separate tools. This skill does it in one step: gather everything, prioritize it, format it beautifully, and deliver it.

How It Works

When triggered, gather data from whichever sources the user has available, then compose a structured briefing. Not every source needs to be configured — the skill gracefully skips unavailable sources and works with whatever is connected.

Data Sources

Attempt to pull from these sources in order. If a source is unavailable (tool not enabled, API not configured), skip it silently and move on. Never fail because one source is missing.

1. Calendar (High Priority)

Use the gog tool or Google Calendar CLI to fetch today's events.

• Show: event name, time, location, attendees (if available)
• Flag conflicts (overlapping events)
• Note gaps longer than 2 hours as "focus time" opportunities
• If tomorrow's first event is early, mention it as a heads-up

2. Email (High Priority)

Use Gmail via gog or the configured email tool to scan recent unread messages.

• Summarize the top 5-10 most important unread emails (skip newsletters, promotions)
• Prioritize: emails from known contacts > emails with urgent keywords > everything else
• For each: sender, subject, one-line summary, suggested action (reply/read/archive)
• Count total unread and note if inbox is getting out of control (>50 unread = flag it)

3. Weather (Medium Priority)

Use curl to fetch weather from a public API, or use an installed weather skill.

• If user location is known (from memory or config), fetch automatically
• If not, ask once and remember for future briefings
• Show: current temp, high/low, conditions, rain probability
• Only mention weather if it's notable (rain, extreme temps, storms) — skip "sunny and 72°F"
• Suggest: "bring an umbrella" or "dress warm" when relevant

4. GitHub / Dev Activity (Medium Priority — skip for non-developers)

Use the GitHub CLI (gh) or GitHub skill to check activity.

• Open PRs awaiting your review (with age: "PR #142 waiting 3 days")
• PRs you authored that have new reviews or comments
• CI/CD failures on your repos in the last 24 hours
• New issues assigned to you
• Skip this section entirely if the user doesn't have GitHub configured

5. Tasks (Medium Priority)

Check configured task managers: Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, GitHub Issues, or local task files.

• Show tasks due today and overdue tasks
• Group by project/label if available
• Flag overdue items prominently

6. News & Feeds (Low Priority)

Use web_search or RSS feeds to pull relevant headlines.

• If the user has specified interests (in memory or config), filter for those topics
• Default: top 3-5 tech/business headlines from the last 24 hours
• Keep summaries to one sentence each
• Hacker News top 3 stories (if user is a developer)

Briefing Format

ALWAYS structure the briefing like this. Adapt sections based on available data:

☀️ Good [morning/afternoon], [Name]! Here's your briefing for [Day, Date].

📅 TODAY'S SCHEDULE
[Calendar events in chronological order]
[Flag any conflicts or notable gaps]

📧 EMAIL HIGHLIGHTS
[Top priority emails with one-line summaries]
[Total unread count]

⚡ ACTION ITEMS
[Overdue tasks — URGENT]
[Tasks due today]
[PRs needing your review]

🌤️ WEATHER
[Only if notable — rain, extreme temps, etc.]

💻 DEV ACTIVITY
[CI failures, new issues, PR updates]

📰 NEWS
[3-5 relevant headlines, one line each]

Prioritization Logic

The briefing should feel like a smart assistant, not a data dump. Apply these rules:

1. Urgent items surface first: overdue tasks, meeting in <1 hour, CI failures, emails from boss/clients
2. Combine related items: if there's a meeting about a PR, mention them together
3. Be concise by default: one line per item. The user can ask to expand any section
4. Skip empty sections: don't show "No new emails" — just omit the section
5. Time-aware: morning briefings focus on today. Evening briefings ("what did I miss") focus on what happened today

Setting Up Recurring Briefings

If the user asks to "send me a briefing every morning" or "set up a daily digest":

1. Help them configure a cron job via OpenClaw's cron system
2. Suggested schedule: weekdays at 7:00 AM local time (ask user preference)
3. Deliver via their preferred channel (Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord)
4. Store the briefing configuration in the workspace for persistence

Example cron setup:

{
  "schedule": "0 7 * * 1-5",
  "prompt": "Generate my daily briefing and send it to me",
  "channel": "telegram"
}

Customization

The user can customize their briefing at any time:

• "Add RSS feeds to my briefing" → ask for feed URLs, store in memory
• "Skip weather in my briefings" → remember this preference
• "I want briefings at 6 AM" → update cron schedule
• "Focus on GitHub and email only" → disable other sections
• "Add Stripe revenue to my briefing" → extend with financial data source

Store all preferences in OpenClaw's memory system so they persist across sessions.

Edge Cases

• First run: If this is the first briefing, explain what you're doing and ask about preferences rather than generating a sparse briefing with no data
• Weekend briefings: lighter tone, skip work email/GitHub, focus on personal calendar and weather
• Evening trigger: if user asks for briefing after 5 PM, shift to "end of day recap" — what happened today, what's tomorrow
• No data at all: if literally no tools are configured, help the user set up at least calendar + email before generating a briefing
• Multiple calendars: if user has personal + work calendars, show both but label them clearly

Example Interactions

User: "Brief me" → Generate full briefing with all available sources

User: "What's on my plate today?" → Focus on calendar + tasks, lighter on news

User: "Set up a daily morning briefing on Telegram at 7 AM" → Configure cron job, confirm channel, generate a test briefing

User: "What did I miss today?" → Evening recap: summarize the day's emails, completed tasks, GitHub activity

User: "Add Hacker News to my daily briefing" → Store preference, confirm, show preview of how it'll look
