Monday-brief is a Claude skill that generates a one-page Monday briefing of cash, sales, pipeline, the week ahead, and the top three to-dos.

About

Monday-brief generates a one-page Monday morning briefing covering cash position, sales trend, pipeline, the week ahead, and the three highest-leverage to-dos. An SMB owner runs it to start the week with a two-minute read of their numbers. It pulls from whatever connectors are live, notes any that are missing, and can optionally save the file and post the top three items to Slack or Teams.

  • Generates a one-page Monday briefing: cash, sales, pipeline, week ahead, and top three to-dos
  • Pulls from every live connector and gracefully degrades when one is missing
  • Optional post to Slack or Teams and save to Drive/OneDrive or desktop

What it does

Produce a one-page Monday briefing of cash, sales, pipeline, and the top three actions for the week.

Who is it for?

Owners who want a weekly Monday snapshot of cash, sales, and priorities.

Skip if: Owners needing deep quarterly analysis rather than a one-page weekly summary.

When should I use this skill?

It is the start of the week or the owner asks for a Monday brief or what's on their plate.

What you get

A one-page markdown brief readable in under two minutes, optionally saved and posted to Slack or Teams.

  • one-page Monday brief markdown file
  • top-three action list

By the numbers

  • one-page brief
  • top three to-dos
  • last 7 days vs prior 7 days sales

Files

SKILL.mdMarkdownGitHub ↗

Run the Monday Morning Briefing. Pull from every connector that's live, gracefully degrade when one isn't, and deliver a one-page brief the owner can read in under two minutes.

Parse arguments:

  • --post (default none) — post the brief summary to slack, teams, or none
  • --save-to (default files) — files (Google Drive / OneDrive), desktop (local), or both

Step 1 — Run business-pulse

Trigger the business-pulse skill workflow. It pulls in this order, scoping to whatever is connected:

1. Cash — QuickBooks balance + last 7 days of net flow 2. Sales trend — PayPal/Square last 7 days vs. prior 7 days, % change, top SKU 3. Pipeline — HubSpot deals moved, deals stalled (>14 days no activity), new inbound leads 4. This week's commitments — Calendar events with external attendees, deliverable deadlines 5. Watch-list — unread Gmail flagged "needs reply," Slack DMs awaiting response 6. The 3 things — the three highest-leverage actions for today, ranked

If a connector is missing, note it in the brief ("PayPal not connected — sales trend skipped") rather than failing.

Step 2 — Format the one-page brief

Layout (markdown, fits on one screen):

# Monday Brief — {Mon DD, YYYY}

## Cash
{$X balance · {+/-}$Y net last 7 days · runway note}

## Sales (last 7d vs prior 7d)
{$X total · {+/-}Z% · top SKU: {name} ({$})}

## Pipeline
{N deals moved · M stalled · K new leads}

## Week ahead
- {Tue 10am} — {Customer X discovery call}
- {Thu EOD}  — {Proposal due to Y}
- ...

## Three things that need you today
1. {Highest-leverage action with one-line why}
2. {...}
3. {...}

Step 3 — Save and (optionally) post

1. Save the brief to the chosen --save-to location:

  • files — Google Drive or OneDrive root, filename monday-brief-YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • desktop~/Desktop/monday-brief-YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • both — both locations

2. If --post slack or --post teams, post the Three things section only (not the full brief — keep the channel post short) and link to the saved file. 3. Show the full brief in chat regardless of save target.

Approval gates

  • Saving the file is auto. No approval needed — it's the owner's own drive.
  • Posting to Slack/Teams requires confirmation. Show the post draft and wait for "post it" before publishing.
  • Never post if the brief surfaces unflattering numbers (significant cash drop, deal slipping) without explicitly asking the owner — the channel may have non-leadership members.

Cadence note

This command is designed to run weekly. The owner may schedule it via Cowork's task scheduler — when run on Monday at 7am ET, the output goes straight to their drive and (if configured) Slack/Teams DM channel.

FAQ

What happens if a connector is not connected?

It notes the gap in the brief (for example 'PayPal not connected — sales trend skipped') rather than failing.

Does monday-brief post to Slack automatically?

No. Saving the file is automatic, but posting to Slack or Teams requires the owner to confirm with 'post it' first.
