What it does

Daily Briefing is an agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. Proactive daily briefing that fires on a recurring schedule, pulls recent memory and workspace context, composes a structured summary (action items, progress, radar, next steps), and delivers it to all active channels. Enable with a time like "set up my daily briefing at 9am". Disable, reschedule, or check status at any time.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/setup.ts`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Vellum personal assistants

It sits in Productivity & Automation. The repository describes itself as: An AI Assistant that’s easy to setup, does your work 24/7, knows your preferences and gets better over time. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “set up my daily briefing at 9am”
  • “/daily-briefing”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Vellum personal assistants

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The scheduler boots a background conversation with the briefing prompt as the initial message.
  2. The agent runtime injects your recent memory, decisions, and workspace context automatically.
  3. The agent composes the briefing and runs assistant notifications send to deliver it.
  4. The notification routes to all your connected channels — the same pipeline as any other Vellum notification.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33cc983. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Vellum personal assistants

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Daily Briefing loads about 806 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~806

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Send yourself a structured morning briefing every day — without asking for it. The briefing pulls your recent memory, decisions, and workspace context, composes a concise summary, and delivers it to all your active channels (Slack, Telegram, macOS, etc.).

Setup

Enable the briefing by telling your assistant:

"Set up my daily briefing at 9am"

The assistant will create a recurring schedule. On first run you will receive a briefing in all connected channels.

You can also say:

  • "Set my daily briefing to 7:30am"
  • "What time is my daily briefing?"
  • "Pause my daily briefing"
  • "Turn off my morning briefing"

What the briefing covers

Each briefing is structured into up to four sections, each capped at 3–5 bullets:

Action Items — Unresolved tasks, pending decisions, or commitments due today.

Progress — Notable completions or milestones from the past 24 hours.

On Your Radar — Anything flagged as important, upcoming, or worth watching.

Suggested Next Steps — 2–3 concrete actions ranked by impact.

Sections with nothing to report are omitted entirely.

How to enable

Run this skill and follow the prompts, or tell your assistant directly:

bash
bun scripts/setup.ts

The setup script asks for your preferred delivery time and timezone, then creates the schedule.

Managing the schedule

Once enabled, all management is conversational — just tell your assistant:

What you wantSay
Change time"Move my briefing to 8am"
Check status"When is my next briefing?"
Pause"Pause my daily briefing"
Resume"Resume my daily briefing"
Disable"Turn off my morning briefing"
Show full SKILL.md (134 more words)Show less

How it works

Setup runs scripts/setup.ts via bash, which calls assistant schedules create to register a recurring execute-mode schedule. When the schedule fires each day:

  1. The scheduler boots a background conversation with the briefing prompt as the initial message.
  2. The agent runtime injects your recent memory, decisions, and workspace context automatically.
  3. The agent composes the briefing and runs assistant notifications send to deliver it.
  4. The notification routes to all your connected channels — the same pipeline as any other Vellum notification.

The briefing conversation is reused across runs so context accumulates over time (the agent sees prior briefings when composing today's).

Privacy

The briefing only reads context already stored in your memory and workspace. It does not connect to external calendars or task managers unless you have those integrations configured separately.
