    # Daily Overview
    
    Generate a morning briefing by pulling real data from your connected systems.
    
    ## Step 1: Today's Date & Context
    ```bash
    date +"%A, %B %d, %Y"
    ```
    Use this in the overview header.
    
    ## Step 2: Calendar
    Query today's events via your calendar MCP.
    - List all meetings with times and attendees
    - Calculate total focus time available
    - Flag any meetings needing prep
    
    ## Step 3: Email Summary
    Check inbox via your email MCP for:
    - Urgent items (flagged or from VIPs)
    - Threads awaiting YOUR reply (unanswered > 24h)
    - New inbound leads or opportunities
    Show count + top 3 most urgent.
    
    ## Step 4: Pipeline / CRM Status
    Query your database or CRM MCP:
    - Active deals by stage (and total value)
    - Prospects needing follow-up (overdue > 7 days)
    - New leads in last 24 hours
    
    ## Step 5: Generate Top 3 Priorities
    Rank by: urgency (deadline proximity) x impact (revenue/relationship).
    For each priority show:
    1. **What** — the specific action
    2. **Why** — what makes it urgent or high-impact
    3. **Time** — estimated minutes to complete
    
    ## Output Format
    ```
    DAILY OVERVIEW — [date]
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    CALENDAR: [X meetings] | [Y hours free]
    EMAIL: [X urgent] | [Y awaiting reply]
    PIPELINE: [X active deals] | [Y need action]
    
    TOP 3 PRIORITIES:
    1. [action] — [why] — [est. time]
    2. [action] — [why] — [est. time]
    3. [action] — [why] — [est. time]

    What It Looks Like

    Here's a real example of what your /overview command produces (with sample data):

    Example: Monday morning overview
    DAILY OVERVIEW — Monday, March 31, 2026
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    CALENDAR: 3 meetings | 4.5 hours free
      09:00 — Team standup (15 min)
      14:00 — Strategy call with Alex (60 min, PREP NEEDED)
      16:30 — Quick sync with design (30 min)
    
    EMAIL: 2 urgent | 5 awaiting reply
      ! Sarah K. — proposal review (3 days waiting)
      ! Finance — Q1 close questions (sent yesterday)
      ~ 3 newsletters, 2 cold outreach (skip)
    
    PIPELINE: 14 active deals | $127K total value
      ready_to_buy: 2 deals ($45K)
      proposal_sent: 3 deals ($52K)
      interested: 9 deals ($30K)
      OVERDUE: 4 follow-ups (oldest: 12 days)
    
    TOP 3 PRIORITIES:
    1. Reply to Sarah's proposal — she's been waiting 3 days,
       $25K deal — 15 min
    2. Prep for 2pm strategy call — review Alex's Q4 deck,
       key relationship — 30 min
    3. Follow up with 4 overdue leads — 2 are warm,
       pipeline hygiene — 20 min
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    Total focus time needed: ~65 min
    Available before first commitment: 45 min
    Recommendation: Start with #1 (quick win), then #3,
    save #2 for 13:00-14:00 slot.
    Setup Guide

    Connecting Your Tools

    The template uses placeholder MCP tool names. Replace them with your actual MCP servers.

    Common MCP Replacements

    mcp__gmailYour Gmail or email MCP. Or use a CLI tool via Bash (e.g., gog gmail list)
    mcp__calendarGoogle Calendar MCP, or any calendar CLI. Key: get today's events as structured data.
    mcp__databaseSupabase, PostgreSQL, Notion, or even Google Sheets MCP. Anything that holds your CRM/pipeline data.

    No MCP Servers Yet?

    Start with just the calendar and manual notes. The skill still works if you comment out sections you don't have data for. Add more sources as you connect them.

    Minimum viable setup: Calendar MCP + a goals.md file. That alone gives you a useful morning briefing.
