Briefing Skill

Compile a daily briefing from brain context.

Filing rule: When the briefing creates or updates brain pages, follow skills/_brain-filing-rules.md.

Contract

• Every fact in the briefing includes an inline [Source: slug, updated DATE] citation.
• Meeting participants are resolved against the brain; gaps are explicitly flagged.
• Active deals and action items include deadlines and recency context.
• The briefing is read-only: no brain pages are created or modified unless the user explicitly requests it.
• Stale alerts surface pages relevant to today's context, not just all stale pages.

Pre-Briefing Context Pull

Run these BEFORE composing the briefing sections. All four pulls are read-only.

0a. Salience scan. Surface pages with high emotional or activity salience:

gbrain salience --days 7

Returns pages ranked by emotional weight and recent activity. Fold the top 5-10 into the briefing under a "High-Salience Pages" section, these are the entities and topics that are emotionally or operationally hot right now. Use this to prioritize which meetings/deals/people get the most briefing depth.

0b. Anomaly detection. Surface statistical anomalies in the brain:

gbrain anomalies

Defaults to today against a 30-day baseline; widen with --lookback-days N or lower the threshold with --sigma 2. Flags cohorts (by tag, by type) whose activity broke from their normal cadence, sudden spikes in mentions or pages updating far off their usual rhythm. Add hits to an "Anomalies" section after the brain pulse.

0c. Personal recall. Check stored personal facts and preferences before composing:

gbrain recall --query "current priorities and preferences" --json
