morning-email-rollup_skill

Overview

This skill generates a daily morning rollup of your most important Gmail messages and today's Google Calendar events and delivers a formatted summary to Telegram at 8:00 AM (configurable timezone). It uses the gog CLI to fetch emails and calendar items and the Gemini CLI to produce one-sentence AI summaries for each email. The output highlights read/unread status, sender, subject, and an AI-generated summary for quick scanning.

How this skill works

Each run queries Google Calendar for today's events and searches Gmail for messages matching importance/starred criteria from the last 24 hours. For each email it extracts sender, subject, date, and a cleaned body, then calls the Gemini CLI to produce a single-sentence natural-language summary. The script formats items with read/unread markers and sends the rollup to Telegram via the Clawdbot messaging system. Cron is used to schedule daily runs and environment variables (GOG_ACCOUNT, MAX_EMAILS) control account and limits.

When to use it

• Get a concise morning snapshot of important emails and meetings before starting work
• Track priority messages without opening Gmail or sifting through the inbox
• Deliver summaries to a team or personal Telegram channel for centralized morning updates
• Automate daily status checks when traveling or working across timezones
• Reduce notification fatigue by reviewing only AI-summarized, high-priority emails

Best practices

• Set GOG_ACCOUNT to the Gmail address used for both Gmail and Calendar queries
• Limit MAX_EMAILS to a practical number (10–20) to keep summaries scannable
• Adjust Gmail search criteria to match your workflow (e.g., unread, specific senders, or labels)
• Test Gemini locally and ensure authentication to avoid falling back to raw email bodies
• Use the cron timezone setting to align delivery with your local morning routine

Example use cases

• Personal morning brief: receive 10 most important emails plus today’s meetings in Telegram at 8 AM
• Manager rollup: customize search for emails from direct reports and executives to prioritize replies
• Client updates: search for emails from specific client domains and summarize key asks or deadlines
• Travel mode: change timezone in cron to get rollups aligned with local time while on the road
• Team channel: deliver summarized important emails to a team Telegram channel for shared situational awareness
