  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by garrytan on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Daily Task Prep AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain.git /tmp/gbrain
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/gbrain/plugin-variants/gbrain-daily/skills/daily-task-prep .claude/skills/daily-task-prep
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Daily Task Prep in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Daily Task Prep on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Daily Task Prep is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Daily Task Prep

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Calendar/meetings for today are loaded with brain context per attendee
  • Open threads from yesterday are surfaced
  • Active tasks reviewed with priority ordering
  • Prep briefing is actionable (not just informational)

Phases

  1. Load calendar. Check today's meetings. For each: load attendee brain pages, recent timeline, open threads.
  2. Check yesterday's threads. When google sources exist, gbrain waiting --json is the real data source for open threads and unanswered items — prefer it over prose heuristics (it carries loop rows with counterparty, due date, and evidence; see skills/google-loops/SKILL.md). Otherwise, search brain for yesterday's timeline entries. Flag anything unresolved.
  3. Review active tasks. Load ops/tasks from brain. Surface P0 and P1 items.
  4. Compile prep briefing. Per-meeting context cards + open threads + task priorities.

Output Format

Morning Prep — {date}
======================
Meetings today: {N}

## {Meeting 1 title} at {time}
Attendees: {names with brain context}
Context: {recent interactions, open threads}
Prep: {what to know before this meeting}

## Open Threads
- {thread from yesterday, with context}

## Tasks (P0-P1)
- {task with priority}

Anti-Patterns

  • Listing meetings without loading attendee context from brain
  • Ignoring yesterday's unresolved threads
  • Presenting tasks without priority ordering

Frequently asked questions

What does the Daily Task Prep AI skill do?

Morning preparation. Calendar lookahead, meeting context loading, open threads from yesterday, active task review. Extends briefing with actionable prep.

Why use Daily Task Prep on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Daily Task Prep is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Daily Task Prep in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/tree/master/plugin-variants/gbrain-daily/skills/daily-task-prep. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Daily Task Prep?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Daily Task Prep?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Daily Task Prep with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Daily Task Prep AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by garrytan under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
