Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo '[{"raw":"9:00-9:30am 1:1 w/ Sam","calendar":"work"}]' | python3 src/write_calendar_cache.py.

Good fit Use it to start the day with a short overview of messages, appointments, and news.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

morning-briefing 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 11d 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.

Usage: /morning-briefing

ARGUMENTS: $ARGUMENTS

What to gather

Step 0 — Calendar cache. CONDITIONAL: Google-calendar hosts only.

src/morning-briefing.py cannot reach the owner's Google Workspace calendar; it reads a cache the agent writes. Omitting this is silent: the briefing reports "couldn't read your calendar", or falls back to a local macOS Calendar read that stalls and can miss the work account entirely. Pull today's local-day events from the Google connector, then:

echo '[{"raw":"9:00-9:30am 1:1 w/ Sam","calendar":"work"}]' | python3 src/write_calendar_cache.py
python3 src/write_calendar_cache.py --empty   # ONLY for a genuinely empty day

Hosts with no Google connector skip STEP 0 ONLY — the reader falls back to local macOS Calendar. Step 1 below still runs on every host. See "Calendar source (Google Workspace) — activation" for the full contract.

Step 1 — Base data (canonical; runs on EVERY host, including hosts that skipped Step 0):

WORKSPACE="$(bash scripts/sutando-config.sh workspace)"
python3 src/morning-briefing.py

src/morning-briefing.py is the single source of truth for core briefing data: weather (Open-Meteo), macOS Calendar, macOS Reminders, overnight Discord DMs, pending questions, and system health. It writes output to results/proactive-<ts>.txt and sends a Discord DM directly. Review its output before composing the full briefing — do NOT re-fetch those sources manually.

Then augment with the following if configured (skip if not available):

  1. Email — Run gws gmail +triage to get unread inbox. Summarize top 5 by priority. Flag anything urgent.

  2. GWS Calendar — If the user uses Google Calendar (not just macOS Calendar), run gws calendar +agenda --today. List any meetings not already covered by the macOS Calendar output above.

  3. Friction check — Run python3 src/friction-detector.py. If friction items found, include as "⚠️ Friction: [count] items need attention" with the top 3.

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.
