Nightly Tomorrow Brief Automation
Set up an evening calendar-and-email brief with tomorrow's meetings, prep, deadlines, and verified delivery.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I'd be happy to help you set up a daily briefing. You'd want to look at your calendar and emails to pull out the key meetings and action items. It would probably involve connecting to Gmail and Google Calendar, setting up some kind of notification system, and maybe creating a template for how you want the information formatted. You could run this manually each evening or try to automate it somehow. The chief-of-staff style would mean focusing on prep items and what's most important. Would you like guidance on how to approach this, or are there specific platforms you're already using?
We'll set Cowork to fire every night at 8pm and scan your Gmail and Google Calendar for the next 24 hours. DELIVERY Email to your inbox at 8pm sharp, plus optional Telegram or SMS alert to your phone. SCAN FIELDS • Tomorrow's confirmed calendar blocks (start/end time, organizer, URL if video meeting) • Action items from emails received in the past week flagged to tomorrow • Prep tasks: documents to review, links to join, required confirmations • Top 3 focus areas ranked by meeting count and implied urgency CHIEF-OF-STAFF TONE Each meeting gets a one-line prep summary plus what's expected of you (attend, decide, present). Your focus list ranks by calendar density and number of decision points. CUSTOMIZE Set run_time to any hour you prefer (default 8pm). Choose brief_style: punchy, executive, or thorough. Add/remove sources (just email, or include Slack threads and Notion tasks). Timezone auto-detects from system settings but you can override it. SAMPLE OUTPUT Tomorrow: 3 meetings, 2 decisions needed, 1 deadline. Morning: Budget review (you present Q3 summary). Afternoon: Product collab (prep the slide deck). Late: Client call (confirm timezone with them first). Focus: Get deck ready, follow up on approvals.
About this skill
Tomorrow's first meeting should not be the moment you discover the missing proposal or conflicting appointment. Set up a nightly brief that connects tomorrow's calendar with relevant email, identifies what needs preparation tonight, and delivers a short plan through your supported destination.
What it does
- Sets up a recurring evening task, defaulting to 8 p.m. after the timezone is established.
- Reads tomorrow's calendar using local date boundaries, including overlapping and overnight events.
- Checks relevant email threads for changed plans, explicit deadlines, missing inputs, and completed requests.
- Separates confirmed preparation requirements from useful suggestions, with links back to the evidence.
- Prioritizes up to three actions for tonight and three outcomes for tomorrow.
- Checks the saved schedule and delivery result, reporting access or delivery failures plainly.
What you get
A configured recurring task and a concise day-ahead brief when scheduling and connectors are available. If the environment cannot schedule or send, you get a complete task prompt and an explicit account of what remains unconfigured.
Best for
Founders, executives, and independent operators who use calendar and email to coordinate their work and want tomorrow's preparation surfaced before bedtime.

Set up and maintain a recurring evening brief by reconciling tomorrow's calendar with relevant email threads, ranking preparation and deadlines, and verifying the saved schedule and delivery result. Use when the user says "brief me on tomorrow every evening", "set up an 8 p.m. brief", "send tomorrow's meetings and prep", "my morning meetings keep catching me unprepared", "my nightly brief missed a deadline", "change where my evening brief goes", or "check whether my tomorrow brief is actually running".
