Morning-note is a Claude skill that drafts a concise, opinionated morning-meeting note of overnight developments and trade ideas for coverage stocks.

About

Morning-note is a skill that drafts concise morning-meeting notes for a sell-side analyst's coverage universe. It scans overnight earnings, news, and market context, then formats a tight one-page note with a top call, per-name takes, key events, and trade ideas. An analyst uses it for 7am morning-call prep, and it outputs markdown for email or Slack, or a Word document for formal distribution.

  • Drafts a tight, opinionated 7am morning-meeting note readable in 2 minutes
  • Summarizes overnight earnings, news, market context, key events, and trade ideas
  • Outputs markdown for email/Slack or a Word doc, one page max

Morning Note

Workflow

Step 1: Overnight Developments

Scan for relevant events across coverage universe:

Earnings & Guidance

  • Any coverage companies reporting overnight or pre-market?
  • Earnings surprises (beat/miss on revenue, EPS, key metrics)
  • Guidance changes (raised, lowered, maintained)

News & Events

  • M&A announcements or rumors
  • Management changes
  • Product launches or regulatory decisions
  • Analyst upgrades/downgrades from competitors
  • Macro data or policy changes affecting the sector

Market Context

  • Overnight futures / pre-market moves
  • Sector ETF performance
  • Relevant commodity or currency moves
  • Key economic data releases today

Step 2: Morning Note Format

Keep it tight — a morning note should be readable in 2 minutes:

---

[Date] Morning Note — [Analyst Name] [Sector Coverage]

Top Call: [Headline — the one thing PMs need to hear]

  • 2-3 sentences on the key development and why it matters
  • Stock impact: price target, rating reiteration/change

Overnight/Pre-Market Developments

  • [Company A]: One-line summary of earnings/news + our take
  • [Company B]: One-line summary + our take
  • [Sector/Macro]: Relevant sector-wide development

Key Events Today

  • [Time]: [Company] earnings call
  • [Time]: Economic data release (expectations vs. our view)
  • [Time]: Conference or investor day

Trade Ideas (if any)

  • [Long/Short] [Company]: 1-2 sentence thesis + catalyst
  • Risk: What would make this wrong

---

Step 3: Quick Takes on Earnings

If a coverage company reported, provide a quick reaction:

MetricConsensusActualBeat/Miss
Revenue
EPS
[Key metric]
Guidance

Our Take: 2-3 sentences — is this good or bad for the stock? Does it change our thesis?

Action: Maintain / Upgrade / Downgrade rating? Adjust price target?

Step 4: Output

  • Markdown text for email/Slack distribution
  • Word document if formal distribution is needed
  • Keep to 1 page max — PMs and traders won't read more

Important Notes

  • Be opinionated — morning notes that just summarize news without a view are useless
  • Lead with the most important thing — don't bury the headline
  • "No news" is a valid morning note — say "nothing material overnight, maintaining positioning"
  • Distinguish between actionable events (earnings, M&A) and noise (minor analyst notes, non-events)
  • Time-stamp your takes — if you're writing at 6am, note that pre-market may change by open
  • If you're wrong, own it in the next morning note — credibility matters more than being right every time
