# Daily Digest
This skill provides a structured way to get a quick overview of your day. It relies on locally configured tools (`himalaya` for email and `gog` for calendar) and does not store any personal credentials within the skill itself.
## Workflow
1. **Email Triage**: Use `himalaya --output json envelope list --page-size 20` to get recent emails. Identify urgent items needing attention.
2. **Calendar & Task Sync**: Use `gog calendar events [calendarId] --from [today_start] --to [today_end]` to fetch today's schedule. Also check for due tasks using `gog` tasks/contacts or specific list commands if available.
3. **News Retrieval**: Use `web_fetch` or `browser` to find the top 3-5 news stories of the day.
4. **Log & Present**: Use `scripts/digest.js` to assemble these components into a stylized HTML report. **CRITICAL: The script automatically saves this report as a permanent Markdown file in `.openclaw/cron/DailyDigest_logs/[date].md` for historical record.**
5. **Notify User**: Send a brief notification via the `message` tool to the user's active channel. Mention that the full detailed log is available at `.openclaw/cron/DailyDigest_logs/[date].md`.
## Data Sources
- **Email**: `himalaya` CLI.
- **Calendar**: `gog` CLI.
- **News**: Web search or trusted RSS feeds.
- **Logs**: Saved locally to `~/.openclaw/cron/DailyDigest_logs/`.
