Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Operate because this ritual summarizes in-flight work (meetings + inbox) for someone already running day-to-day tools. Iterate fits recurring weekly check-ins that inform what to prioritize next without mutating Google data.
Where it fits
Run every Monday to see meeting density and unread Gmail before choosing the week’s focus.
Wire the digest into a custom agent cron that posts a table to Slack or a markdown standup file.
Check inbox backlog trend alongside customer calls scheduled for the week during a solo GTM rhythm.
How it compares
Use instead of opening Calendar and Gmail separately when you only need a combined read-only weekly summary via CLI.
