daily-task-prep

daily-task-prep is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from garrytan/gbrain. It costs 33 tokens per session (440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A morning preparation workflow that combines today's calendar, meeting context, unresolved threads from yesterday, and active tasks. It turns that information into an actionable briefing before the day begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare context cards for meetings, identify unanswered items, review high-priority tasks, and decide what to do before each appointment.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent gathering background before meetings and makes unfinished conversations and urgent work easier to spot.

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

daily-task-prep 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Daily Task Prep

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Calendar/meetings for today are loaded with brain context per attendee
  • Open threads from yesterday are surfaced
  • Active tasks reviewed with priority ordering
  • Prep briefing is actionable (not just informational)

Phases

  1. Load calendar. Check today's meetings. For each: load attendee brain pages, recent timeline, open threads.
  2. Check yesterday's threads. When google sources exist, gbrain waiting --json is the real data source for open threads and unanswered items — prefer it over prose heuristics (it carries loop rows with counterparty, due date, and evidence; see skills/google-loops/SKILL.md). Otherwise, search brain for yesterday's timeline entries. Flag anything unresolved.
  3. Review active tasks. Load ops/tasks from brain. Surface P0 and P1 items.
  4. Compile prep briefing. Per-meeting context cards + open threads + task priorities.

Output Format

Morning Prep — {date}
======================
Meetings today: {N}

## {Meeting 1 title} at {time}
Attendees: {names with brain context}
Context: {recent interactions, open threads}
Prep: {what to know before this meeting}

## Open Threads
- {thread from yesterday, with context}

## Tasks (P0-P1)
- {task with priority}

Anti-Patterns

  • Listing meetings without loading attendee context from brain
  • Ignoring yesterday's unresolved threads
  • Presenting tasks without priority ordering
Changes

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.
