SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Assembling a useful picture of the day means manually checking engagements, initiatives, events, and contacts scattered across a knowledge base. This Skill reads the vault itself and writes a concise morning brief into today's daily note, so the user reads instead of compiling. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated brief generation: Reads the last daily note, active engagements, initiatives, upcoming events, and CRM contacts, then writes a structured ## Daily Brief section into Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md. - Rollover tracking: Carries outstanding items forward from previous notes, flagging anything stalled for two weeks or rolling for a week as "kill or commit". - Calendar probing: Detects a calendar connector in the session and runs one read-only probe for today's meetings, each annotated with CRM context; skips silently if none exists. - Use Case: A consultant runs the skill each weekday morning and gets a two-minute brief listing today's meetings, deadlines approaching, stalled engagements, and at most two relationships going quiet. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write my daily brief for today from the vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a daily brief from my Obsidian vault?

Run the daily-brief skill on demand or on a weekday-morning schedule. It reads your previous daily note, active engagements, initiatives, events, and CRM contacts, then writes a Daily Brief section into today's note without asking you questions.

What does the daily brief include each morning?

The brief contains up to four parts: today's meetings and time-fixed items, a needs-attention list capped at seven items, rolled-forward open items with their first appearance date, and a short worth-knowing section from recent sector notes or upcoming events.

Does the daily brief work with my calendar?

Yes, if a calendar connector exists in the session. The skill runs one read-only probe for today's events and annotates each meeting with CRM context. If no connector exists it skips silently, and a failed probe is noted only once.

Will the daily brief overwrite my existing daily note?

No. The skill owns only the Daily Brief section of the note and never edits anything else you have written. If the note does not exist, it creates the file with the Daily Guide frontmatter first.

How does the brief handle stalled work and quiet contacts?

Engagements or initiatives with no movement in two weeks are flagged under needs attention, and items rolling for a week are marked kill or commit. At most two quiet-contact nudges appear per day to keep the brief readable.
