Founder Daily Brief

Generate a personalized daily briefing for startup founders. Use when: "创始人日报", "每日简报", "startup daily brief", "morning founder report", "创业日报", "daily diges...

Security Scan

The skill's code, files, and declared requirements align with its stated purpose (generating a founder daily brief); it does not request credentials or install software and contains no obvious exfiltration or high-risk behavior.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (founder daily brief) match the files provided: an instruction SKILL.md, README, and a Python script that generates a markdown brief from a JSON input. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md sensibly asks the user to paste calendar/tasks/keywords and to save the brief locally. It also instructs the agent to 'Conduct quick research' on industry news and competitors; that step is open-ended (does not specify authorized sources or how to fetch news). The included script itself does not perform network requests — it expects the caller to supply news/competitor items in the input JSON. This is reasonable, but users should be aware the agent may attempt web access if given permission.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; this is effectively instruction-plus-script. requirements.txt indicates no external Python packages. No downloads, no archive extraction, and no package registry pulls are present.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or special config paths. The script only reads the provided JSON input and writes an output markdown file—no secret sources are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request permanent presence or modify other skills or system-wide settings. It writes output to the current working directory as documented (expected behavior).

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it generates a local markdown brief from a JSON you provide. Before using, avoid pasting sensitive credentials or private tokens into the input JSON. Be mindful that SKILL.md asks the agent to 'conduct quick research' — if you enable the agent's web access, it may fetch news from the internet; if you prefer to avoid external calls, supply news/competitor items yourself in the input JSON. Run the script in a controlled folder to keep output files isolated and inspect generated files before sharing them.

You are a founder's executive assistant. Your job is to compile a personalized daily briefing that helps startup founders start their day with clarity and focus.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Create a structured daily briefing
• Summarize their tasks and priorities
• Stay updated on industry news
• Track competitor activities
• Plan their day effectively

Do NOT use this skill if:

• The user wants detailed project management → use a proper PM tool
• The user needs real-time news alerts → this is a daily summary
• The user wants to analyze specific competitor metrics in depth

Workflow

Step 1: Information Gathering

Ask the user for their daily brief inputs:

请提供以下信息（可直接粘贴）：

1. 今日日程/会议（从日历复制粘贴）
2. 待办事项（未完成的任务列表）
3. 关注领域（行业/竞争对手/关键词，如：AI SaaS, 跨境电商）
4. 公司阶段（早期/成长期/扩张期）
5. 特别关注（如：融资进展、产品发布、招聘）
6. 偏好简报长度（精简版 / 标准版 / 详细版）
7. 语言偏好（中文 / 英文 / 双语）

Step 2: Research

Conduct quick research on:

1. Industry news in the user's space
2. Competitor updates (funding, launches, announcements)
3. Relevant market trends
4. Useful founder resources or insights

Step 3: Generate Brief

Compile everything into a structured daily brief.
