daily-briefing is a sales skill that produces a prioritized daily action plan from meetings, pipeline, and email context.

About

Daily Sales Briefing produces a scannable two-minute prioritized action plan for sales days. Standalone mode works when users paste meetings, key deals, and priorities without any connectors. Supercharged mode auto-pulls calendar events with attendees, CRM pipeline alerts, priority emails, and enrichment signals when integrations exist. Output sections include number one priority, today's numbers table, meeting prep with context and suggested call-prep commands, pipeline alerts for stale or closing deals, email needs-response and waiting-on-reply tables, and three suggested actions. Priority ranking places urgent closing deals first, then high-value meetings, decision-maker emails, weekly closes, stale deals, and weekly tasks. Quick mode compresses to priority, meeting count, alerts, and do-now action. End-of-day mode summarizes completed meetings, pipeline changes, tomorrow focus, and open loops. Without connectors the skill asks for meetings, focused deals, and urgent context then works with whatever is provided. Related skills call-prep, call-follow-up, and account-research extend meeting depth.

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.

Connectors (Optional)

Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:

ConnectorWhat It Adds
CalendarToday's meetings with attendees, times, and context
CRMOpen pipeline, deals closing soon, overdue tasks, stale deals
EmailUnread from opportunity contacts, emails waiting on replies
EnrichmentOvernight 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:

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:

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

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

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:

# 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:

# 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]

Tips

1. Connect your calendar first — Biggest time saver 2. Add CRM second — Unlocks pipeline alerts 3. Even without connectors — Just tell me your meetings and I'll help prioritize

FAQ

Does it work without CRM or calendar connectors?

Yes. Paste meetings and deal priorities and the skill organizes a briefing from that input.

How is the number one priority chosen?

Urgent closes beat high-value meetings, then decision-maker emails, then stale high-value deals.

Is there a shorter output mode?

Say quick brief or tldr my day for an abbreviated priority, meetings, alerts, and do-now format.
