daily-briefing

A morning briefing Gem that combines Google Calendar and Gmail into a punchy daily standup for yourself. Type start and get today’s schedule plus any emails that need immediate attention.

What it does

Mornings have a recurring chore: check calendar, scan priority emails, decide what matters today. This Gem does that for you via Gemini’s Google Calendar and Gmail integrations. You type start, and Gemini returns two clean sections — Today’s Schedule (chronological events with times, titles, and meeting links) and Action Required Emails (unread messages that match priority rules: direct questions from your manager or clients, urgent deadlines, meeting cancellations).

The focus is speed over thoroughness. Descriptions are brief and punchy. No summaries of emails that don’t require action. No meeting deep-links unless they exist.

How to use it

This is a Gemini Gem, not a Claude Code skill — it doesn’t install via CLI. Instead:

1. Open Gemini Gems and create a new Gem
2. Paste the prompt below as the Gem’s instructions
3. Save the Gem
4. Before the first use, authorize Gemini’s Google Calendar and Gmail integrations
5. Type start in the Gem’s chat — the briefing appears

Date in the prompt

The prompt on GitHub has a hardcoded date ([March 11, 2026]) as an example. Before pasting, replace it with today or a template placeholder your Gem understands — otherwise you’ll get the same date every morning.

When to use it

• You want a 30-second morning standup for your own day
• You’re trying to replace “open 4 tabs to check my day” with a single prompt
• You work across calendar + email and want both synthesized, not listed separately
