| c-calendar | Today's events + tomorrow preview |
| c-tasks | Due today + overdue items |
| c-notes | Recently modified notes |
| c-github | Open PRs, review requests, CI failures |
| c-slack | Unread DM count + mentions |
| c-tracking | Package delivery updates |

## Briefing Format

## Scheduled Briefing

To run automatically each morning, set up a launchd job (macOS) or cron job:

```bash
# Create a briefing script
cat > ~/.claude/briefing.sh << 'SCRIPT'
#!/bin/bash
claude --print "Run my daily briefing using the c-briefing skill. Be concise." \
  | terminal-notifier -title "Morning Briefing" -message "Ready" 2>/dev/null
SCRIPT
chmod +x ~/.claude/briefing.sh

# Schedule with cron (every weekday at 8:00 AM)
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 8 * * 1-5 ~/.claude/briefing.sh") | crontab -

# Or use lunchy-go for launchd (macOS)
lunchy-go install ~/.claude/briefing.plist
```

## Manual Briefing

Just ask Claude: "Give me my daily briefing" or "What's on my plate today?"

## Guidelines

- Read the user's name from SOUL.md or MEMORY.md
- Only include sections for skills that are actually installed
- Keep it concise — no section should exceed 5 items
- Flag urgent items at the top
- Include the date and day of week
