digest

A tool for creating a daily or weekly summary of recent activity across connected work services, grouped by project and focused on decisions, mentions, and action items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the last day, week, or custom time range across chat, email, storage, project tracking, customer records, and knowledge bases.
Why use it?
It helps you catch up after time away or at the start of the day without checking every message, email, document, and task individually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

digest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Digest Command

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Scan recent activity across all connected sources and generate a structured digest highlighting what matters.

Instructions

1. Parse Flags

Determine the time window from the user's input:

  • --daily — Last 24 hours (default if no flag specified)
  • --weekly — Last 7 days

The user may also specify a custom range:

  • --since yesterday
  • --since Monday
  • --since 2025-01-20

2. Check Available Sources

Identify which MCP sources are connected (same approach as the search command):

  • ~~chat — channels, DMs, mentions
  • ~~email — inbox, sent, threads
  • ~~cloud storage — recently modified docs shared with user
  • ~~project tracker — tasks assigned, completed, commented on
  • ~~CRM — opportunity updates, account activity
  • ~~knowledge base — recently updated wiki pages

If no sources are connected, guide the user:

To generate a digest, you'll need at least one source connected.
Check your MCP settings to add ~~chat, ~~email, ~~cloud storage, or other tools.

3. Gather Activity from Each Source

~~chat:

  • Search for messages mentioning the user (to:me)
  • Check channels the user is in for recent activity
  • Look for threads the user participated in
  • Identify new messages in key channels

~~email:

  • Search recent inbox messages
  • Identify threads with new replies
  • Flag emails with action items or questions directed at the user

~~cloud storage:

  • Find documents recently modified or shared with the user
  • Note new comments on docs the user owns or collaborates on

~~project tracker:

  • Tasks assigned to the user (new or updated)
  • Tasks completed by others that the user follows
  • Comments on tasks the user is involved with

~~CRM:

  • Opportunity stage changes
  • New activities logged on accounts the user owns
  • Updated contacts or accounts

~~knowledge base:

  • Recently updated documents in relevant collections
  • New documents created in watched areas

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

digest is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins (23,791 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,287 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
