Custom Daily Brief

A morning brief that covers what your role actually needs, saved as a dated Word document, not a one-size-fits-all summary.

What it produces

The built-in Daily Briefing skill gives everyone the same summary in chat. This skill composes it with the Email, Calendar Management, Scheduling, Enterprise Search, Meetings and Word built-ins and adds the parts the built-in lacks: role presets (PM, EA, IT admin, sales), a custom section list you edit in references/brief-config.md, a saved file with a predictable name, and a consistent format every day. Once installed, you can also ask Cowork to run it on a schedule each weekday morning (Cowork allows up to five scheduled prompts per user, so budget this against your other schedules).

• /Documents/Cowork/briefs/daily-brief-YYYY-MM-DD.docx: emails needing answers, today's calendar with conflicts flagged, Teams mentions, deadlines for the next 7 days, and (optionally) yesterday's meeting actions, in the section order your preset defines.
• An optional email Draft of the brief addressed to yourself (left in Drafts, never sent).

What to say to it

• “Run my daily brief.”
• “Give me my morning brief as an IT admin.”
• “Build my start-of-day summary and email me a draft of it.”
• “Change my daily brief to include yesterday's meeting actions.”
