The Daily-Prep Companion
Morning-brief works better with a companion skill: daily-prep.
Where morning-brief looks at today, daily-prep looks at tomorrow. Run it at the end of the working day, usually just before closing up. It pulls tomorrow’s calendar, checks what tasks were completed today versus what was planned, and prompts you to set up the next day: what’s the priority, what needs to move, what’s the one thing that has to happen.
The output of daily-prep feeds into the next morning’s brief. A good night-before setup means the morning brief is confirming a plan rather than helping you assemble one. The mental model: daily-prep puts the pieces on the board; morning-brief tells you where to start.
The daily-prep skill lives at ~/.claude/skills/daily-prep.md. The pattern is the same as morning-brief but the sequencing is inverted: review today, plan tomorrow, close out.
