Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins at da38ec1ee8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The daily-briefing skill automates the creation of personalized morning summaries, synthesizing news, weather, and personal updates into a single coherent report. It connects to various data sources to curate relevant information based on user preferences and location.

When to use it

  • Start your workday with a consolidated overview of global events and local conditions without manual searching.
  • Integrate personal calendar events or task lists into the morning narrative for immediate context switching.
  • Generate consistent, structured updates for team members who need aligned situational awareness.
  • Replace fragmented news app scrolling with a single, AI-curated text feed tailored to your interests.

Key capabilities

  • Aggregates real-time news and weather data from multiple sources.
  • Synthesizes disparate information streams into a unified narrative format.
  • Customizes content focus based on user-defined topics and priorities.
  • Delivers concise, actionable summaries at scheduled intervals.

Example prompts

  • "Create my daily briefing for today including top tech news, weather in London, and my schedule for the morning."
  • "Summarize the latest developments in renewable energy and include any relevant updates from my project timeline."
  • "Generate a morning update covering market trends, local traffic conditions, and my upcoming meetings."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to necessary data sources (news APIs, weather services, calendar) before scheduling the first briefing. For best results, explicitly define your topic interests in the initial configuration to avoid generic summaries.
