Why these permissions? Read-only access to your calendar, tasks, and config files is sufficient. No write or delete access needed — this is purely an information-gathering workflow.
Workflow Steps
Create a briefing-config.md file
In a folder Cowork can access, create briefing-config.md with your preferences: topics of interest, preferred format, calendar location, and task list location.
Set up a 7am scheduled task
Open Cowork and type /schedule. Configure a daily task to run at 7am that reads your briefing-config.md and executes the prompt below.
Cowork reads your calendar and tasks
Cowork accesses your calendar file and task list at the paths you specified, gathering today's schedule and priorities.
Compile the morning brief
Cowork synthesizes the data into a short, scannable brief formatted for quick reading.
Dispatch delivers to your phone
The brief is sent via Dispatch to your phone. You read it in 90 seconds during breakfast.
