daybrief

daybrief is a skill for Claude Code from duthaho/skillhub. It costs 170 tokens per session (2,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A morning work summary that combines relevant calendar events, emails, repository activity, unfinished work, tasks, and selected topics to watch. It produces a short priority-ordered brief rather than showing all the raw information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review your day, inspect recent work across local repositories, find open TODOs or assigned GitHub issues, and optionally track movement on chosen topics.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to check several tools and repositories separately when deciding what needs attention today.

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

daybrief 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

daybrief — morning work briefing

/daybrief [plain-language steering, e.g. "skip email", "just repos", "save it"]

Answer one question in one scan: what needs my attention today, in what order? Pull every source in parallel, compress hard, and lead with the priorities — not the raw data. Target: the user reads it in under two minutes.

Step 0 — Config

Look for daybrief-config.md in the current working directory. It defines:

# daybrief config
## Repos            # absolute paths, or workspace roots to scan one level deep
- /home/hop/code
## Tasks            # optional: where your todos live (any/all of these)
- file: TODO.md     # a local markdown todo file (path relative to a repo or absolute)
- github: assigned  # issues assigned to you, via `gh` if authenticated
## Radar topics     # 2–4 topics to check for movement
- claude code
- postgres
## Preferences
- timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh
- email: on        # on / off
- calendar: on     # on / off
- save: off        # on = also write brief to out/daybrief/ (enables carry-over)

If missing, don't block: run with what's inferable (current repo, no radar topics). Then, after delivering the brief, offer to create the config via a short interview — ask (in one compact question set, prefilled with what you learned this run): which repos/workspace roots to watch, 2–4 radar topics, where todos live (file path / GitHub / none), email & calendar on/off, and whether to save briefs (save: on enables carry-over). Confirm the timezone from the system rather than asking. Write daybrief-config.md from the answers and remind that it's gitignored. If the user declines, don't ask again on later runs — just note "no config" in the footer. Honor one-off steering from the arguments over the config.

Step 1 — Gather all sources in parallel

Launch everything concurrently. Each source is independent and optional — if its tools aren't connected or it errors, mark it "unavailable" in the brief footer and move on. Never let one dead source stall the brief.

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.
