Daily Report Skill

A comprehensive morning briefing that gathers data from multiple sources and presents a scannable summary.

When to Use

• “Daily report”
• “Morning briefing”
• “What’s on my plate today?”
• First thing each morning to orient your day

What It Covers

Section	Source	What You Get
Mentions & requests	Teams	Direct @mentions, tagged items
Open questions	Teams	Unresolved threads needing your input
Decisions made	Teams + meetings	Decisions from last 24 hours
Action items	Teams + meetings	Commitments by/to you
Today’s meetings	Calendar	Time, title, attendees, prep notes
Yesterday’s recaps	Calendar	Decisions and action items from yesterday
Urgent/VIP emails	Email	High-priority and VIP sender emails
Awaiting reply	Email	Threads waiting on you
Active work items	Azure DevOps	ID, type, title, state, priority, age
Recently completed	Azure DevOps	Closed in last 30 days
Aging items	Azure DevOps	Open >14 days (flagged)
State changes	Azure DevOps	Items that changed state in 24h
Next actions	Mind	Open items from initiative next-actions
Inbox notes	Mind	Untriaged items needing attention
Focus recommendations	All sources	Top 3 suggested priorities

Required Configuration

The skill reads from your global copilot instructions (~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md):

## Azure DevOps Defaults
- **Organization:** https://dev.azure.com/myorg
- **Project:** My Project
- **Area Path:** My Project\My Team

## Teams Channels
| Chat Name | Thread ID |
|-----------|-----------|
| Team Chat | 19:abc123@thread.v2 |

## VIP Contacts
- Alice Smith
- Bob Jones

If any section is missing, the agent will ask for the values and offer to add them.

How It Works

1. ADO first — fetches active work items and recent state changes
2. M365 in parallel — Teams chats, mentions, calendar, email (all queries run simultaneously, enriched with ADO context)
3. Local mind — scans next-actions.md files and inbox
4. Assemble — combines everything into a formatted report with focus recommendations

The report is read-only — it never sends emails or modifies work items.
