Morning Priority Briefing Dashboard
Turn email, calendar, chat, docs, and relevant news into a linked morning dashboard with one evidence-backed priority.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
That's a good workflow idea. You'd need to pull data from Gmail, your calendar, maybe Slack, and any news sources you care about. You'd probably want to run it on a schedule so it's ready when you wake up. There are a few ways to do this—you could use a workflow automation tool, or write a script that pulls from APIs and formats everything into a summary. You'd want to include your meetings for the day, any urgent emails, and maybe your top priority or task. The format could be an HTML dashboard, an email, or even a message to Slack. Do you have a preferred tool? And what timezone are you in?
MORNING BRIEFING DASHBOARD: SCHEDULED, INTERACTIVE (ready when you sit down) COMPONENT 1: MEETINGS (from Google Calendar) → Today, 06:00 fetch: All events, extract time + attendees + Zoom link (if exists) → Format: 'Meeting title | 10:00-11:00 | 3 attendees | Zoom link' → Contextual: If meeting starts in 30 min, highlight in red COMPONENT 2: URGENT REPLIES (from Gmail, smart filters) → Priority: Emails from boss, key customers, or flagged as 'requires response' → Recency: Arrived in last 12 hours, unanswered → Display: Sender + subject line + first 50 words of body → Example: 'From: investor@vc.com | Quarterly call tomorrow?' (3 words of email preview) COMPONENT 3: TODAY'S ONE THING (custom priority rule) → Option A: Highest-revenue-impact task (from your task manager) → Option B: Most-overdue item (from Asana/Notion) → Option C: Custom: 'Whatever you set last night in Slack' → Display rule: Single task name + deadline. That's it. COMPONENT 4: COMPETITIVE NEWS (if enabled) → Keywords: Your config (e.g., 'AI agents', 'Claude', 'LLM tools') → Source: Hacker News, Twitter, Y Combinator news → Display: 1-3 top stories from last 24 hours COMPONENT 5: WEATHER + COMMUTE (optional) → Location-based from Google Calendar primary location → Time to commute destination (maps estimated travel time) DELIVERY → Scheduled: Run daily at your preferred time (06:00, 07:00, 08:00). Timezone-aware. → Format: Interactive HTML (no login required; stateless) → Accessible: Open link from email or dashboard shortcut → Reliability: Requires laptop awake at schedule time; does not retry
About this skill
Your morning disappears into checking email, calendar, chat, and scattered documents before you can decide what matters. This briefing turns those sources into a linked dashboard with one defensible priority, the replies you owe, and specific preparation for today's meetings. Missing sources stay visible so a quiet dashboard never disguises an incomplete scan.
What it does
- Reconciles messages across email and chat, removing duplicate requests and checking whether you already replied.
- Selects today's one thing by deadline, consequence, and dependencies, with a concrete next action.
- Connects meetings to relevant documents, open decisions, and preparation tasks.
- Separates confirmed obligations from inferred urgency and makes source coverage explicit.
- Adds relevant news, weather, or commute context when the required topics, location, and access are available.
- Configures a recurring morning run when requested and supported, checking timezone, delivery, and scheduling status.
What you get
A compact HTML dashboard with source links, local meeting times, urgent replies, a suggested work block, and one highlighted daily priority. Each run includes its timestamp and coverage gaps; scheduling requests also receive a concrete configuration and an honest verification status.
Best for
Founders, executives, and solo operators whose daily commitments are spread across connected email, calendar, documents, and team chat.

Build a linked morning dashboard from connected email, calendar, chat, documents, and relevant news. Reconcile open requests, verify deadlines and meeting context, then choose one daily priority by consequence and dependencies; configure recurring delivery when requested and supported. Use when the user says "give me my morning briefing", "what needs my attention today?", "set up a weekday morning dashboard", "my mornings keep disappearing into email and Slack", "pull my calendar and urgent replies together", "what is today's one thing?", or "my briefing keeps missing important messages".
