name: monday-brief description: Generates a one-page Monday morning briefing — cash, sales, pipeline, week ahead, top three to-dos. Accepts optional post destination and save-to arguments. allowed-tools: Read, WebFetch, Bash
Run the Monday Morning Briefing. Pull from every connector that's live, gracefully degrade when one isn't, and deliver a one-page brief the owner can read in under two minutes.
Parse arguments:
--post(defaultnone) — post the brief summary toslack,teams, ornone--save-to(defaultfiles) —files(Google Drive / OneDrive),desktop(local), orboth
Step 1 — Run business-pulse
Trigger the business-pulse skill workflow. It pulls in this order, scoping to whatever is connected:
- Cash — QuickBooks balance + last 7 days of net flow
- Sales trend — PayPal/Square last 7 days vs. prior 7 days, % change, top SKU
- Pipeline — HubSpot deals moved, deals stalled (>14 days no activity), new inbound leads
- This week's commitments — Calendar events with external attendees, deliverable deadlines
- Watch-list — unread Gmail flagged "needs reply," Slack DMs awaiting response
- The 3 things — the three highest-leverage actions for today, ranked
If a connector is missing, note it in the brief ("PayPal not connected — sales trend skipped") rather than failing.
Step 2 — Format the one-page brief
Layout (markdown, fits on one screen):
# Monday Brief — {Mon DD, YYYY}
## Cash
{$X balance · {+/-}$Y net last 7 days · runway note}
## Sales (last 7d vs prior 7d)
{$X total · {+/-}Z% · top SKU: {name} ({$})}
## Pipeline
{N deals moved · M stalled · K new leads}
## Week ahead
- {Tue 10am} — {Customer X discovery call}
- {Thu EOD} — {Proposal due to Y}
- ...
## Three things that need you today
1. {Highest-leverage action with one-line why}
2. {...}
3. {...}
Step 3 — Save and (optionally) post
- Save the brief to the chosen
--save-tolocation:files— Google Drive or OneDrive root, filenamemonday-brief-YYYY-MM-DD.mddesktop—~/Desktop/monday-brief-YYYY-MM-DD.mdboth— both locations
- If
--post slackor--post teams, post the Three things section only (not the full brief — keep the channel post short) and link to the saved file. - Show the full brief in chat regardless of save target.
Approval gates
- Saving the file is auto. No approval needed — it's the owner's own drive.
- Posting to Slack/Teams requires confirmation. Show the post draft and wait for "post it" before publishing.
- Never post if the brief surfaces unflattering numbers (significant cash drop, deal slipping) without explicitly asking the owner — the channel may have non-leadership members.
Cadence note
This command is designed to run weekly. The owner may schedule it via Cowork's task scheduler — when run on Monday at 7am ET, the output goes straight to their drive and (if configured) Slack/Teams DM channel.
