## What This Skill Does

When triggered (via heartbeat, cron, or direct request), the agent compiles a **Daily Briefing** covering:

1. **Date & Context** — Day, date, notable observances
2. **Weather** — Current conditions + forecast for the day
3. **Calendar** — Today's events with time, location, prep notes
4. **Priority Tasks** — Top 3-5 items ranked by urgency/impact
5. **Pending Items** — Anything waiting on someone else
6. **Quick Reads** — 2-3 relevant news items or market updates (customizable)
7. **One-liner** — A motivational or humorous closing line

The briefing is delivered to the configured channel (Telegram, Discord, etc.) in a clean, scannable format.
