set-up-workday_skill

Overview

This skill executes a single-command, end-to-end morning enablement workflow that produces a decision-ready executive kickoff brief. It consolidates unread email intelligence, calendar audit, recent Drive activity, task synthesis, news snapshot, and workspace staging into one prioritized morning package. Use it to start the day with clear actions and traceable sources.

How this skill works

On invocation the skill normalizes the target date and runs five native intelligence components unless explicitly skipped: unread emails (48h), today’s calendar (Asia/Singapore), recent Drive activity (24h), a merged What-I-Need-To-Do brief, and a four-item news snapshot. It stages or verifies the daily Drive workspace, deduplicates items using IDs, prioritizes urgent follow-ups, and returns a scannable executive-format brief with source links for every data point.

When to use it

• Start your workday with a single command to get an actionable morning brief.
• When you need a prioritized list of urgent follow-ups and prep items tied to emails, events, and files.
• Before meetings to surface prep requirements, conflicts, and attendee context.
• When you want workspace links and file summaries ready for immediate use.
• Use with account-focused toggles (e.g., APAC enterprise) to scope intelligence.

Best practices

• Ensure Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and news API permissions are granted prior to running the skill.
• Default timezone is Asia/Singapore; specify a different target date/timezone if needed.
• Use skip flags (email, calendar, news) to speed runs or narrow focus when appropriate.
• Cache normalized dates and folder IDs in-session to avoid repeated computations.
• Review source links in the brief before acting to confirm context and timelines.

Example use cases

• "Set up my workday" to receive a prioritized kickoff brief with links and tasks.
• "Prepare everything for 2025-11-04, skip email and news, focus on APAC accounts" to run a scoped orchestration.
• Run before back-to-back meeting days to detect conflicts and surface prep requirements.
• Use when delegating: export the brief to Slack or a private channel for team visibility.
