📋 📋 One-Click Prompt
@OpenClaw I need you to act as my daily information briefing assistant.
Context: I am using openclaw.
Step 1 — Environment check (automation)
- Check whether these MCP servers are installed:
- @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search
- @modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch (optional)
If any are missing:
1) Confirm the package exists on npm
2) Show the exact install command(s)
3) Ask: "Do you want me to install them now?"
- Option A: Install now
- Option B: I'll install manually later
- Option C: Skip this feature
If I confirm, run:
- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search
Step 2 — API key setup
Brave Search needs a free API key.
Ask me for the key and provide a short signup pointer if needed.
Step 3 — Run searches (last 24 hours)
Ask me to provide 3–5 topics (e.g., AI agents, openclaw updates, MCP servers).
For each topic:
1) Find 3–5 fresh, high-quality sources
2) Filter out ads/low quality
3) Extract: title, source, publish time, 2–3 sentence summary, URL
Step 4 — Generate the report
Output as markdown:
```markdown
# 📰 Daily Briefing — [Date]
## Topic: [Topic]
### 🔥 Top stories
1. **[Title]**
- Source: [Site]
- Time: [Published]
- Summary: [2–3 sentences]
- Link: [URL]
### 📌 Other notes
- [Bullets]
```
