Get a Personal Newspaper Written by Claude Every Morning

Open Claude or Claude CoWork and make sure your integrations are connected.

• Slack
• Notion
• Gmail
• Calendar

If you already keep a central task list or a daily AI reports database in Notion, connect that too. That is where this gets better: Claude stops acting like a researcher and starts acting like an editor.

Prompt Claude to make the paper. Use a prompt close to this:

Take a stab at making me a quick morning newspaper called Morning Edition. It should update me on:

- my Slack updates
- my Notion updates
- my Gmail updates
- my calendar updates

Use the last 24 hours. Make it a static newspaper, not a live artifact. Format it like a newspaper with top stories, action items, and schedule prep.

The “last 24 hours” instruction keeps the edition focused. The other important instruction is “static newspaper, not a live artifact.” You want something you can keep, review, and compare over time.

Pro tip: If Claude gives everything equal weight, ask it to make stronger editorial choices. Action items and calendar prep should beat random reading.

Once Claude gives you a first version, refine it before saving the workflow.

• Review the layout
• Cut weak sections
• Fix the order
• Make the important items more prominent

Then tell Claude:

Turn this process into a skill.

Claude will package the workflow so you can run it again without rebuilding the prompt every time.

Pro tip: Do not waste Opus on this if your reports are already gathered upstream. In the demo, the better move was Sonnet or Haiku, because the hard work had already been done.

After the skill is saved, go to Claude CoWork and create a recurring task.

Your instruction can be simple:

Run /morning-edition every morning.

If you want delivery built in, use:

Run /morning-edition and then email it to me at [your email].

If Slack or email is connected, you can have the edition delivered there. Otherwise, it will show up in a new Claude CoWork thread.

Once the skill is stable, the morning brief becomes a product, not another prompt you have to remember.
