Morning Coffee — Daily Briefing Skill

Sends you a punchy morning briefing via Telegram so you wake up knowing exactly what move to make first.

Setup

Set these environment variables (or hardcode paths in the skill):

• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN — your Telegram bot token from @BotFather
• TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID — your Telegram chat ID
• TASKS_FILE_PATH — path to your TASKS.md (e.g., ~/.clawd-cc/memory/TASKS.md)

What It Does

1. Reads your TASKS.md for pending items
2. Reads any memory files (MEMORY.md, projects.md, recent notes)
3. Checks for any urgent blockers or time-sensitive items
4. Synthesizes the top 3 priorities for today
5. Sends a punchy Telegram message you can act on immediately

Process

Step 1: Load Context

Read all context files in parallel:

• $TASKS_FILE_PATH — pending tasks
• {MEMORY_DIR}/MEMORY.md — long-term context
• {MEMORY_DIR}/projects.md — active projects (if exists)

Step 2: Analyze Priorities

Identify:

• Top 3 tasks for today — what moves the needle most
• One quick win — something completable in <30 min to build momentum
• One blocker — anything that needs Kevin's direct input (flag these)
• Pipeline status — check any automated pipelines (revenue, posts, etc.)

Step 3: Compose the Briefing

Format (punchy, max 400 chars):

Good morning! Here's your plan:

1. [Highest priority task — 1 line]
2. [Second priority — 1 line]
3. [Third priority — 1 line]

Quick win: [easiest task to knock out]
Watch out: [any blocker or time-sensitive item]

[Pipeline status in 1 line if relevant]

Step 4: Send via Telegram

curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"chat_id\": \"${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}\", \"text\": \"[MESSAGE]\"}"

Scheduling

Add to your cron (runs at 7 AM daily):

0 7 * * * claude -p "/morning-coffee-briefing"

Or use your agent's built-in cron scheduler.

Customization

Modify Step 2 to match your setup:

• Change the memory file paths to match your project structure
• Add pipeline status checks specific to your automation (YouTube, Upwork, etc.)
• Adjust the Telegram format to your preference
