The Daily Triage Briefing

Open your laptop to a 60-second brief: today's priorities, every meeting explained, and who you're about to meet — ready before your coffee.

This is the playbook that makes people say “okay, I’m sold.” Instead of starting the day by drowning — inbox, calendar, Slack, three tabs of who-am-I-meeting — you start it with a single, calm brief that’s already done the drowning for you.

The wow

“Brief me.” And Claude replies: here are your 3 priorities today; your 10am is a renewal call with Acme — here’s who’s attending and the one risk to address; 4 emails need you, drafts are ready; and #launch agreed to ship Thursday.”

What it pulls together

  • Calendar → today’s meetings, ranked by what matters.
  • Pre-meeting research → the Research Brief runs on each meeting’s attendees.
  • Email → the Email Triage Skill surfaces what needs you, drafts the replies.
  • Slack / transcripts → what changed overnight, what was decided.

How to build it (Week 7)

  1. Get the Calendar, Gmail, Slack connectors on (Week 3) and the Email Triage + Research Brief Skills built (Weeks 3–4).
  2. Create a “Daily Briefing” Project whose instructions chain them: read calendar → research attendees → triage inbox → summarise Slack → output one brief.
  3. Schedule it (via Cowork/automation) to run each morning, or just say “brief me.”

Why it’s transformational

It collapses 30–45 minutes of scattered context-gathering into a 60-second read — and you walk into every meeting as the most-prepared person in the room. That compounding edge is the whole promise of the course in one routine.
