Generate personalized news intelligence with verified sources (7-day freshness requirement).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# COG Daily Brief Skill

## Purpose
Find verified, relevant news for personalized daily briefings with strict verification standards and strategic relevance analysis tailored to user's specific interests and projects.

## When to Invoke
- User wants their daily news briefing
- User says "daily brief", "news", "what's happening", "morning brief"
- User wants to stay updated on their interests
- Morning routine or regular check-in time

## Agent Mode Awareness

**Check `agent_mode` in `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` frontmatter:**
- If `agent_mode: team` — delegate news research across different interest areas to parallel sub-agents (e.g., one agent per topic cluster). Each agent searches, verifies sources, and returns findings. Combine and synthesize results into the final brief.
- If `agent_mode: solo` (default) — handle all research and synthesis directly in the conversation. No delegation.

## Pre-Flight Check

**Before executing, check for user profile:**

1. Look for `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` and `00-inbox/MY-INTERESTS.md` in the vault
2. If NOT found:
   ```
   Welcome to COG! Daily briefs work best when personalized.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/daily-brief@sha256:8a2d2cb0b0616e0c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.b852369, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
