Prepare for tomorrow's meetings and tasks. An agent skill from github/awesome-copilot.

  • Works in 10 steps: Determine Target Date → Pull Calendar via WorkIQ → Classify Each Meeting → …
  • Tasks that involve Focus and ADHD support
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Procedure, Example Prompts and Requirements
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Daily Prep is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prepare for tomorrow's meetings and tasks. Pulls calendar from Outlook via WorkIQ, cross-references open tasks and workspace context, classifies meetings, detects conflicts and day-fit issues, finds learning and deep-work slots, and generates a structured HTML prep file with productivity recommendations.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Focus and ADHD support. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Focus and ADHD support

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Target Date
  2. Pull Calendar via WorkIQ
  3. Classify Each Meeting
  4. Ideal Day Structure
  5. Detect Conflicts & Day Fit Issues
  6. Gather Context from Workspace
  7. Generate Prep per Meeting
  8. Find Learning & Focus Slots
  9. Productivity Recommendations
  10. Write the File

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Daily Prep loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,078 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Prepare for tomorrow's meetings and tasks. Pulls calendar from Outlook via WorkIQ, cross-references open tasks and workspace context, classifies meetings, detects conflicts and day-fit issues, finds learning and deep-work slots, and generates a structured HTML prep file with productivity recommendations.

Daily Prep

Generate a structured prep file for the next working day with meeting details, prep bullets, linked tasks, and productivity recommendations.

When to Use

  • End of day: "prepare me for tomorrow"
  • Any time: "prep me for Friday" or "what does March 25 look like?"
  • Weekly planning: run for multiple days

Procedure

1. Determine Target Date

If the user specifies a date, use it. Otherwise, default to tomorrow (current date + 1 day). If tomorrow is Saturday, default to Monday. If Sunday, default to Monday. Compute the output path: outputs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-prep.html

2. Pull Calendar via WorkIQ

Use the WorkIQ MCP tool to fetch the calendar. Ask WorkIQ:

"What meetings do I have on {target date}? For each meeting, include: subject, start time, end time, organizer, all attendees with their email addresses, location, whether it's online, and whether I've accepted or declined."

If the response is insufficient, make a follow-up query:

"For the meetings on {target date}, which ones are marked as optional or tentative? Which ones are recurring?"

3. Classify Each Meeting

Apply these labels based on attendee domains and subject:

LabelCriteria
[Customer · HIGH]External attendees from customer/partner domains, or subject matches a known customer name
[Internal]Only internal company domain attendees
[Community]CoP, community, guild, learning sessions
[Upskilling]Training, workshop, certification, learning
[Optional · skip]Tentative, low importance, or known recurring optional (e.g., "Office Hours", "Open Q&A")
[Personal]Private events, non-work
Zone Markers

For every meeting, check the organizer field and apply these additional markers:

ConditionMarkerAction
Starts ≥ 15:30 and < 16:00 (any organizer)⚠️ After-hoursRecommend decline
Starts ≥ 16:00 and not self-organized⚠️ After-hoursRecommend decline
Starts ≥ 16:00 and self-organized(no flag)OK — you chose to schedule it
Before 09:00 and not self-organized⚠️ EarlyRecommend decline — intrudes on learning window
Before 09:00 and self-organized(no flag)OK — you chose to schedule it
Overlaps 12:00–13:00🍽️ Lunch conflictNote in Calendar Notes

"Self-organized" means you are the meeting organizer (check the organizer field from WorkIQ).

4. Ideal Day Structure

Use this as the decision framework for all analysis steps. Every meeting must be evaluated against these zones. Users should adapt these times and targets to their personal routine.

ZoneTimePurposeRules
Morning FocusBefore 09:00Admin, learning, personal workProtect from others' meetings. Flag external events.
Customer Zone09:00–12:00Customer / external meetingsMax 2 customer meetings. Prefer mornings for external calls.
Lunch12:00–13:00BreakProtected. Flag any overlap.
Deep Work13:00–15:30Deliverables, focused coding/writingMinimize meetings. Flag non-essential meetings as deep work disruption.
Protected (strict)15:30–16:00End of day wind-downFlag all meetings regardless of organizer.
Protected (flex)16:00+End of dayFlag others' meetings only. Self-organized OK.

Targets per day:

  • Learning hours: 1.5h (from morning focus + gap time)
  • Deep work hours: 2.5h (13:00–15:30 zone)
  • Customer meetings: max 2 (preferably in 09:00–12:00)
5. Detect Conflicts & Day Fit Issues

Compare event time windows. Flag overlaps in a Conflicts table with a recommendation for each — prioritize customer meetings over internal/optional.

Also detect these day fit issues (report in a separate "Day Fit Issues" table):

CheckConditionFlag
Customer overload>2 [Customer · HIGH] meetingsFlag 3rd+ as "Consider rescheduling to another day"
Deep work disruptionNon-essential meetings in 13:00–15:30 zone"Disrupts deep work — consider moving to morning"
Non-ideal placementCustomer meetings outside 09:00–12:00"Customer meeting outside preferred morning zone"
Early intrusionOthers' meetings before 09:00"Intrudes on learning window — recommend decline"
Lunch conflictMeeting overlaps 12:00–13:00"Conflicts with lunch break"
6. Gather Context from Workspace
  1. Read open task files for tasks related to customer names or attendees in tomorrow's meetings
  2. Search workspace folders for recent files related to those customers or topics
  3. Check recent meeting summaries or plans for relevant prep context
  4. Use this to generate actionable prep bullets per meeting
7. Generate Prep per Meeting

For each meeting (chronological), include:

  • Time, subject, organizer
  • Attendee list (first name, company if external)
  • 3–5 actionable prep bullets based on open tasks, recent summaries, and meeting subject
  • If no context available, note what to ask/clarify in the meeting
Show full SKILL.md (415 more words)Show less
8. Find Learning & Focus Slots

After generating prep per meeting, analyze the day's schedule to find open slots:

  1. Morning Focus confirmation — Verify the morning focus window is clear. If any non-self-organized event exists there, flag it.

  2. Learning Slots — Find gaps ≥ 30 min in the morning window and any other free slots suitable for upskilling. Target: 1.5h/day. For each slot: time range, duration, suggested activity.

  3. Deep Work Blocks — Find continuous free gaps in the 13:00–15:30 zone for deliverables. For each block: time range, duration, suggested task from open tasks.

  4. Report totals:

    • Learning hours found vs. 1.5h target (e.g., "1.0h / 1.5h target — 0.5h short")
    • Deep work hours available in 13:00–15:30 (e.g., "2.0h / 2.5h available")
9. Productivity Recommendations

Analyze the full day and provide:

SectionWhat to Include
Day Fit ScoreRate 0–100% how well the day matches the Ideal Day Structure. Criteria: (1) morning focus clear (+20%), (2) ≤2 customer meetings in 09:00–12:00 (+20%), (3) lunch 12:00–13:00 protected (+15%), (4) deep work 13:00–15:30 intact (+20%), (5) nothing after 15:30 or only self-organized after 16:00 (+15%), (6) ≥1h learning slots found (+10%). Show as: 🟢 ≥80%, 🟡 50–79%, 🔴 <50%.

Energy ManagementFlag if >3h back-to-back customer meetings without a break
Top 3 PrioritiesThe 3 most impactful things to accomplish (meetings + tasks combined)
10. Write the File

Create the output file at outputs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-prep.html as a self-contained HTML file with embedded CSS (dark theme, color-coded timeline, responsive layout).

If a file already exists for that date, read it first and update rather than overwrite — the user may have added manual notes.

Example Prompts

  • "Prepare me for tomorrow"
  • "What does Friday look like?"
  • "Daily prep for March 28"
  • "Prep me for next Monday — focus on customer meetings"

Requirements

  • WorkIQ MCP tool must be available for calendar access (Microsoft 365 / Outlook)
  • A workspace with task files and customer/project folders for context enrichment
  • Output is self-contained HTML — no external dependencies
