        @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]
```

Safety guarantees
- Only read public web info
- Do NOT access local files
- Do NOT store my history

If anything fails (API limits, network), explain the cause and give a fix.

Throughout this workflow, communicate with me in English.
