morning-briefing

A pure aggregator skill that reads data produced by other skills, filters and formats it, and writes a composed markdown briefing to data/briefing.md.

Usage

1. Initialize config (first run only):

   bash scripts/init_config.sh
   

2. Run the briefing:

   bash scripts/morning_briefing.sh
   

   The script outputs the path to the generated markdown file.

3. Read the file and present its contents verbatim to the user. Do not summarize, reformat, paraphrase, add commentary, or editorialize. Output the entire markdown file exactly as written — the markdown IS the briefing. Do not wrap it in a code block. Do not omit sections. Do not change heading levels or link formatting.

Data Sources

Weather is built-in (direct curl to wttr.in). Other sections are driven by external skills that write JSON data files:

• steam-games-updates — game news from Steam
• upcoming-metal-concerts — concert listings from concerts-metal.com

Each source has a jq template in assets/templates/<source-id>.jq that formats the raw JSON into markdown.

Customization

Edit ~/.openclaw/config/morning-briefing.json to:

• Toggle weather — set weather.enabled to false
• Change location — set weather.location
• Enable/disable a source — set sources.<id>.enabled
• Filter game updates — add "games": ["CS2"] to steam-games-updates preferences
• Filter concerts by city — edit cities array in upcoming-metal-concerts preferences
• Change concert window — edit days_ahead in upcoming-metal-concerts preferences

Adding a New Source

1. Add an entry to sources in the config with data_path and preferences
2. Create assets/templates/<source-id>.jq that accepts the source's JSON schema
3. The template receives $preferences (argjson) and $today/$cutoff (arg) variables
