Most “daily briefing” skills assume you use the same stack as whoever wrote them.
Briefing Builder doesn’t. It’s a meta-skill: it interviews you about your tools,
role, and what “important” actually means to you — then generates a pair of
briefing skills tailored to your setup.
There’s a full write-up of why I built it on the blog:
The Briefing Skill That Builds Itself Around You.
What it does
Run it once and it walks you through a short set of questions, then produces two
ready-to-install skills:
- Morning briefing — what happened overnight across your email and chat, sorted by what matters to you.
- Call prep — account context, attendee research, and a suggested agenda before each meeting.
How it adapts
- Your tools drive the sources. Gmail vs Outlook, Slack vs Teams, Google Calendar vs Notion vs Cal.com — each is handled differently, and anything you don’t have is gracefully skipped. No connectors at all? It falls back to web search and whatever you paste in.
- Your role drives the priorities. “Urgent” means incidents and blocked PRs for an engineer, hot deals and prospect replies for sales, investor comms and churn signals for a founder. Your own definition of high-priority overrides all of it.
- Your meeting volume drives the length. Three calls a day gets you full account snapshots and agendas; ten calls a day gets you tight open-threads-and-names checklists.
How to use it
- Download the
.skill file below. - Install it (drop it in your skills directory / import it in Claude).
- Run it and answer the questions — it generates your two custom skills.
- Optionally set them up as scheduled tasks so the briefing lands every morning.
