What is Daily Briefing Skill?
The Daily Briefing skill is a robust automation utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It provides a stable and reproducible way to gather critical morning information, moving beyond simple AI hallucinations by using structured scripts and hard-coded logic for factual data like weather and traffic. By combining specialized data collection with AI-driven news synthesis, it ensures users receive a concise, accurate, and professional start to their day.
This skill addresses the common pitfalls of purely generative AI by implementing local caching, fault-tolerant API handling, and strict rule-based news filtering. Whether you need a full report with 20 curated news items across global, tech, and social categories or a simple summary of local traffic conditions, this Openclaw Skills addition provides the flexibility and reliability required for professional daily workflows.
Daily Briefing Skill Use Cases
- Automating a morning routine by generating a comprehensive briefing at a scheduled time every day.
- Getting quick, reliable traffic and weather updates via CLI before commuting.
- Keeping up with industry trends using AI-curated news across Tech, Internet, and International sectors.
- Integrating structured daily data into other productivity apps or dashboards using JSON output.
How Daily Briefing Skill Works
- The user or a cron job triggers the
generate-briefing.mjsscript. - The system fetches real-time weather data via the wttr.in API and calculates traffic restrictions based on pre-defined local rules.
- If news is enabled, the agent performs targeted searches using Kimi Search for four specific categories: International, Tech, Internet, and Social Hotspots.
- An AI layer processes the search results, filtering out duplicates, ads, and low-authority sources to select exactly 5 items per category.
- The skill compiles the data into the requested format (Text, JSON, or Simple) and applies a 30-minute local cache to ensure performance and reduce API load.
