Connectors (Optional)

Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:

Connector	What It Adds
Calendar	Today's meetings with attendees, times, and context
CRM	Open pipeline, deals closing soon, overdue tasks, stale deals
Email	Unread from opportunity contacts, emails waiting on replies
Enrichment	Overnight signals: funding, hiring, news on your accounts

No connectors? No problem. Tell me your meetings and deals, and I'll create your briefing.

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Context

If connectors available:

Copy & paste — that's it

1. Calendar → Get today's events
   - Filter to external meetings (non-company attendees)
   - Pull: time, title, attendees, description

2. CRM → Query your pipeline
   - Open opportunities owned by you
   - Flag: closing this week, no activity 7+ days, slipped dates
   - Get: overdue tasks, upcoming tasks

3. Email → Check priority messages
   - Unread from opportunity contact domains
   - Sent messages with no reply (3+ days)

4. Enrichment → Check signals (if available)
   - Funding, hiring, news on open accounts

If no connectors:

Copy & paste — that's it

Ask user:
1. "What meetings do you have today?"
2. "What deals are you focused on? Any closing soon or needing attention?"
3. "Anything urgent I should know about?"

Work with whatever they provide.

Step 2: Prioritize

Copy & paste — that's it

Priority ranking:
1. URGENT: Deal closing today/tomorrow not yet won
2. HIGH: Meeting today with high-value opportunity
3. HIGH: Unread email from decision-maker
4. MEDIUM: Deal closing this week
5. MEDIUM: Stale deal (7+ days no activity)
6. LOW: Tasks due this week

Select #1 Priority:
- If meeting with >$50K deal today → prep that
- If deal closing today → focus on close
- If urgent email from buyer → respond first
- Else → highest-value stale deal

Step 3: Generate Briefing

Copy & paste — that's it

Assemble sections based on available data:

1. #1 Priority — Always include (even if simple)
2. Today's Numbers — If CRM connected, otherwise skip
3. Today's Meetings — From calendar or user input
4. Pipeline Alerts — If CRM connected
5. Email Priorities — If email connected
6. Suggested Actions — Always include top 3 actions

Quick Mode

Say "quick brief" or "tldr my day" for abbreviated version:

Copy & paste — that's it

# Quick Brief | [Date]

**#1:** [Priority action]

**Meetings:** [N] — [Company 1], [Company 2], [Company 3]

**Alerts:**
- [Alert 1]
- [Alert 2]

**Do Now:** [Single most important action]

End of Day Mode

Say "wrap up my day" or "end of day summary" after your last meeting:

Copy & paste — that's it

# End of Day | [Date]

**Completed:**
- [Meeting 1] — [Outcome]
- [Meeting 2] — [Outcome]

**Pipeline Changes:**
- [Deal] moved to [Stage]

**Tomorrow's Focus:**
- [Priority 1]
- [Priority 2]

**Open Loops:**
- [ ] [Unfinished item needing follow-up]

Getting Started

When you run this skill, I'll ask for what I need:

If no calendar connected:

"What meetings do you have today? (Just paste your calendar or list them)"

If no CRM connected:

"What deals are you focused on this week? Any that need attention?"

If you have connectors: I'll pull everything automatically and just show you the briefing.
