  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by vellum-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Daily Briefing 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/vellum-ai/vellum-assistant.git /tmp/vellum-assistant
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/vellum-assistant/skills/daily-briefing .claude/skills/daily-briefing
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Daily Briefing 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 Briefing 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 Briefing 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.

Send yourself a structured morning briefing every day — without asking for it. The briefing pulls your recent memory, decisions, and workspace context, composes a concise summary, and delivers it to all your active channels (Slack, Telegram, macOS, etc.).

Setup

Enable the briefing by telling your assistant:

"Set up my daily briefing at 9am"

The assistant will create a recurring schedule. On first run you will receive a briefing in all connected channels.

You can also say:

  • "Set my daily briefing to 7:30am"
  • "What time is my daily briefing?"
  • "Pause my daily briefing"
  • "Turn off my morning briefing"

What the briefing covers

Each briefing is structured into up to four sections, each capped at 3–5 bullets:

Action Items — Unresolved tasks, pending decisions, or commitments due today.

Progress — Notable completions or milestones from the past 24 hours.

On Your Radar — Anything flagged as important, upcoming, or worth watching.

Suggested Next Steps — 2–3 concrete actions ranked by impact.

Sections with nothing to report are omitted entirely.

How to enable

Run this skill and follow the prompts, or tell your assistant directly:

bash
bun scripts/setup.ts

The setup script asks for your preferred delivery time and timezone, then creates the schedule.

Managing the schedule

Once enabled, all management is conversational — just tell your assistant:

What you wantSay
Change time"Move my briefing to 8am"
Check status"When is my next briefing?"
Pause"Pause my daily briefing"
Resume"Resume my daily briefing"
Disable"Turn off my morning briefing"

How it works

Setup runs scripts/setup.ts via bash, which calls assistant schedules create to register a recurring execute-mode schedule. When the schedule fires each day:

  1. The scheduler boots a background conversation with the briefing prompt as the initial message.
  2. The agent runtime injects your recent memory, decisions, and workspace context automatically.
  3. The agent composes the briefing and runs assistant notifications send to deliver it.
  4. The notification routes to all your connected channels — the same pipeline as any other Vellum notification.

The briefing conversation is reused across runs so context accumulates over time (the agent sees prior briefings when composing today's).

Privacy

The briefing only reads context already stored in your memory and workspace. It does not connect to external calendars or task managers unless you have those integrations configured separately.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Daily Briefing AI skill do?

Proactive daily briefing that fires on a recurring schedule, pulls recent memory and workspace context, composes a structured summary (action items, progress, radar, next steps), and delivers it to all active channels. Enable with a time like "set up my daily briefing at 9am". Disable, reschedule, or check status at any time.

Why use Daily Briefing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Daily Briefing 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 Briefing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/tree/main/skills/daily-briefing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Daily Briefing?

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 Briefing?

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

Is the Daily Briefing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vellum-ai 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.
