Morning Intelligence Skill
Write the prompt that writes your briefing. A 15-question interview extracts your exact context — role, topics, sources, exclusions, format, recency — then produces a single master prompt you can paste into a scheduled task or Claude Code Routine and never touch again.
Pro tip: Run this interview with Opus for the best output. Opus asks sharper follow-up questions and writes a tighter master prompt.

Required Inputs
No inputs required upfront. The skill runs the interview first.
If the user has already provided context (e.g. pasted a role description or topic list), absorb it and skip those questions in the interview — don't ask for information already given.
How the Interview Works
Run questions one at a time (or in small groups of 2–3 where they're closely related). Don't dump all 15 at once. Wait for each answer before proceeding. Ask natural follow-ups where the answer is vague.
Interview Questions
Block 1 — Who you are and how you read
- What is your role, and what lens do you read news through? (e.g. "Head of Product at a B2B SaaS — I read for competitive moves, AI tooling, and enterprise buying signals.")
- What are the 3–5 topics you always want covered? Be specific — "AI" is too broad; "AI applied to enterprise software" is better.
- What are 2–3 topics you actively want filtered out — things that waste your time every morning?
Block 2 — Sources and signals
- Which publications, newsletters, or outlets do you trust most? (Examples: The Information, TLDR, Benedict Evans, Stratechery, FT, specific subreddits)
- Are there any Twitter/X accounts, Substack writers, or niche sources that are must-reads for you specifically?
- Is there any geography that matters — are you focused on a specific country, region, or market?
Block 3 — Story type and recency
- What mix of story types do you want? Rank or weight these: breaking news / in-depth analysis / opinion / data & research / product launches & announcements.
