Daily Brief Digest

Generates a daily brief including urgent emails (himalaya), upcoming calendar events (gog), and relevant news. Use when the user asks for a morning summary, daily briefing, or a status update on their day.

Daily Digest

This skill provides a structured way to get a quick overview of your day. It relies on locally configured tools (himalaya for email and gog for calendar) and does not store any personal credentials within the skill itself.

Workflow

1. Email Triage: Use himalaya --output json envelope list --page-size 20 to get recent emails. Identify urgent items needing attention.
2. Calendar & Task Sync: Use gog calendar events [calendarId] --from [today_start] --to [today_end] to fetch today's schedule. Also check for due tasks using gog tasks/contacts or specific list commands if available.
3. News Retrieval: Use web_fetch or browser to find the top 3-5 news stories of the day.
4. Log & Present: Use scripts/digest.js to assemble these components into a stylized HTML report. CRITICAL: The script automatically saves this report as a permanent Markdown file in .openclaw/cron/DailyDigest_logs/[date].md for historical record.
5. Notify User: Send a brief notification via the message tool to the user's active channel. Mention that the full detailed log is available at .openclaw/cron/DailyDigest_logs/[date].md.

Data Sources

• Email: himalaya CLI.
