name: morning-brief
description: Generate a structured daily briefing from calendar, tasks, email, and news. Run each morning before starting work.
use_when: User asks for morning briefing, daily brief, or what's on today.
user-invocable: true
tools: Bash, Read
---The tools line matters. Morning-brief needs Bash to run AppleScript and CLI commands, and Read to pull in any local files it references. Without Bash, it can’t reach calendar or tasks. Keep the tool list minimal — only what the skill actually needs.
user-invocable: true means you can invoke it directly by name. Type /morning-brief in a Claude Code session and it loads and runs.
