Briefing

Compose a daily briefing using companion skills. Each source is optional — skip it if the skill is not available.

Sources

Three companion skills. Skip any that are not in the available skills list:

  • Calendargcalcli-calendar
  • Todostodo-management
  • Weatheropenmeteo-sh-weather-simple (requires a default city/country in session context)
If none of the three are available — tell the user you have nothing to build a briefing from and stop. Do not fabricate a briefing.

Briefing day

Decide whether the user's day is effectively over based on current time and today's remaining calendar events.

  • Day still active -> briefing covers today.
  • Day winding down -> briefing covers tomorrow.
Todos are not date-bound — always show active items.

Gather

For each available source, read its SKILL.md before calling any commands.

Calendar

  • Read gcalcli-calendar SKILL.md.
  • Fetch the briefing day's agenda.
  • If no events — note it.

Todos

  • Read todo-management SKILL.md.
  • List active/pending items.
  • If none — note it.

Weather

  • Get the briefing day's conditions and forecast. Use the user's default city/country from session context.
  • Commands (always use --llm):
  • Today: openmeteo weather --current --forecast-days=1 --city="{city}" --llm
  • Tomorrow: openmeteo weather --current --forecast-days=2 --forecast-since=2 --city="{city}" --llm

On errors

If a command fails, skip that section and mention the failure briefly. Do not retry more than once. Never fabricate data.

Compose

Build a single message. Include only sections whose skill was available. If a skill returned no data, still include the section with a one-line note.

Structure

  • Title line — compact: date, day-of-week, time. E.g. Брифинг 14.02 (пт, 8:12). If briefing day is tomorrow, say so.
  • Weather — 1–2 lines: temperature, sky, anything notable.
  • Calendar — briefing day's events, chronologically. Format: HH:MM — Title. All-day events first. If empty: one line noting no events.
  • Upcoming — next 2-3 days' notable events (if any), one line per day. Omit if nothing notable.
  • Todos — active items, briefly. Higher priority first if supported. If empty: one line noting no todos.

Example output

Follow this format exactly in the user's language:

text
Briefing 14.02 (Sat, 8:12)

**🌤 Weather (London, UK)**
+2°C, cloudy, wind 11 km/h. Daytime to -3°C, light rain.

**📅 Calendar**
09:00 — Standup
14:00 — Sprint review
18:30 — Driving school

**🔜 Upcoming**
• 15.02: Free day.
• 16.02: Daily standup 12:00, Driving school 18:30.

**✅ Todos**
• [work] Debug feature X.
• [personal] Book a doctor's appointment.
Note: bold header → content immediately on next line (zero blank lines); one blank line between sections; no trailing question or CTA.

Formatting rules (strict)

These rules are critical for readability on mobile. Follow them exactly.

  • Between sections: exactly one empty line.
  • Between a section header and its content: zero empty lines. Content starts on the very next line.
  • Right:
text
**Calendar**
09:00 — Standup
14:00 — Review
  • Wrong:
text
**Calendar**

09:00 — Standup
14:00 — Review
  • When briefing day is tomorrow, calendar and weather headers should reflect that.
  • Do not shorten the user's city name.
  • Match the language of the user's request.
  • Simple formatting — optimize for mobile chat. Bold section headers, short lines.
  • Concise, skimmable, no filler.

Strict prohibitions

  • No preamble — dive straight in.
  • No call to action or question at the end. The briefing ends after the last section. No "What's next?", "What's first?", or similar.
  • Never invent events, todos, or weather data. Only report what tools returned.
