Generate a personalised morning briefing covering weather, news, schedule, and saved priorities. Use when the user asks for a morning brief, daily summary, or "what's happening today?".
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 18 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 33
Use show_metric_cards for at-a-glance items (temperature, top story count, deadlines)
- Very specific: line 34
Use show_timeline if the user has scheduled events
- Distinctive: line 43
If something failed (e.g. weather API down), note it briefly and continue.
- Distinctive: line 46
Don't generate news headlines without searching first (no fabrication)
- Distinctive: line 47
Don't include unread emails count without checking — this isn't email triage
- Distinctive: line 48
Don't be overly cheerful or motivational
- Distinctive: line 49
Don't repeat the same brief format daily — vary the focus based on what's actually changing
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 18 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Morning Brief
When to use
- The user asks for a morning brief, daily digest, or summary of the day
- A scheduled task fires (cron-triggered briefing)
Steps
- Recall context — call
recallandsearch_memoryto pull:- Location (for weather)
- Topics of interest (news filtering)
- Active projects or priorities
- Personal preferences (tone, length)
- Gather inputs in parallel — these can run independently:
- Weather:
web_searchfor "weather [location] today" or usebrowser_extracton a weather site - News:
web_searchfor top news in saved topics - Calendar/tasks: if a calendar tool is available, query it; otherwise mention "no calendar configured"
- Weather:
- Compose the brief with this structure:
- Greeting (1 line, time-appropriate: "Good morning, [name]")
- Today's outlook (1-2 sentences: weather, big-picture)
- News highlights (3-5 bullet points with markdown links)
- On your radar (saved priorities, deadlines coming up)
- Suggested focus (1 sentence: what to prioritise today)
- Render with UI:
- Use
show_metric_cardsfor at-a-glance items (temperature, top story count, deadlines) - Use
show_timelineif the user has scheduled events - Otherwise, plain markdown
- Use
- Save the brief — call
fs_writeto save tobriefs/YYYY-MM-DD.mdfor later reference.
Style
- Brief and skimmable. Total length 200-400 words max.
- Time-zone aware. Use the user's local time.
- Skip generic greetings ("Hope you have a great day!") — be substantive.
- If something failed (e.g. weather API down), note it briefly and continue.
What not to do
- Don't generate news headlines without searching first (no fabrication)
- Don't include unread emails count without checking — this isn't email triage
- Don't be overly cheerful or motivational
- Don't repeat the same brief format daily — vary the focus based on what's actually changing

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
