Not another chatbot wrapper.

BriefDay is a complete configuration system for Claude Code. Skills, commands, agents, memory, RSS intelligence, and a daily rhythm that actually sticks.

5 Daily Commands

/start, /sync, /wrap-up, /daily, /month-end. Your entire day in three touchpoints taking under 10 minutes total.

🧠

Persistent Memory

Claude remembers your decisions, contacts, active projects, and intel across sessions. No more re-explaining context.

📨

Inbox Processing

Drop files, articles, screenshots, PDFs into inbox/. BriefDay categorizes, scores, extracts insights, and archives everything.

📡

RSS Intelligence

14 starter feeds with scoring, keyword boosts, and deep-read delegation. Surfaces only what matters to your business.

👥

Multi-Agent System

Content reviewer catches AI writing tells. Intel analyst deep-reads articles in background. Model routing keeps costs down.

🔒

Safe Mode + Agent Safety

Hooks block destructive commands. Blast radius discipline on multi-file changes. Turn limits prevent agent runaway. Security audit skill checks your products before launch.

✍️

Voice Calibration

Anti-AI writing rules, ban lists for corporate fluff, position calibration so Claude writes at your level (not a beginner's).

📚

Wisdom System

Spaced-repetition motivation from 8 classic books. Context-aware triggers surface the right wisdom at the right moment.

🔧

17 Skills

LinkedIn ghostwriter, research digest, pitch deck builder, opportunity scanner, quality gate, skeptic review, and more. All auto-activate.

🌐

Chrome Extension

Right-click any link or page to save it to your inbox. Next /sync picks it up, scores it, and archives it. Two-click capture from anywhere.

📁

Desktop Drop Zone

Create an inbox shortcut on your Desktop. Drag articles, PDFs, screenshots straight in. BriefDay processes everything at /start and /sync.

15 minutes. That's it.

Unzip, run the setup script, fill in your context. Claude Code handles the rest.

1

Unzip and Run Setup

The setup script asks your name, role, industry, and expertise level. Creates all directories and personalizes your config.

./setup.sh
2

Fill In Your Context

Open CONTEXT.md and replace placeholders with your real info. The more specific you are, the better the AI performs.

CONTEXT.md
3

Type /start

Open Claude Code and type /start. Your first personalized briefing runs in under 5 minutes. Drop a link in inbox/, type /sync, and watch it process. Memory builds over 5-7 sessions.

/start

18 skills that auto-activate.

Each skill is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter. Claude loads the right one based on what you're doing. No manual switching.

Three kinds of builders.

BriefDay works for anyone who uses Claude Code and wants more than a chatbot.

The Builder

Power user, dev, founder
"I already use Claude Code daily. I want a system, not a blank terminal. BriefDay gave me memory, agents, and a daily rhythm in 15 minutes."

The Operator

Exec, consultant, knowledge worker
"I don't code. I drop things in a folder, type /start, and get briefed. The inbox processing alone saved me an hour a day."

The Explorer

New to Claude Code, curious
"I had Claude Pro but didn't know what to do with Claude Code. BriefDay showed me. Now I run /sync between meetings."

BriefDay is probably not for you if:

  • ✕  You don't use Claude Code (or don't plan to)
  • ✕  You want a drag-and-drop GUI (this is terminal + markdown)
  • ✕  You need real-time team collaboration (this is a single-user system)
  • ✕  You're looking for a ChatGPT wrapper or basic chatbot

This isn't a weekend project.

BriefDay was built by a music tech executive who runs multiple companies through this system daily. 20+ years in digital distribution, platform ops, and revenue strategy. Former SVP at a major Latin label. Co-founder of a boutique distribution company.

Every skill, command, and workflow in BriefDay exists because it solved a real problem in a real business. The memory system, the RSS intelligence, the inbox processing, the content pipeline: all battle-tested across 12+ months of daily sessions.

You're not buying a template. You're buying a year of refinement.

One price. Everything included.

Less than one month of most AI subscriptions. Pays for itself in the first week. No tiers. No recurring fees.

Changelog

v2.5 - April 2026

  • Token discipline - Model routing table (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus by task type), fresh-conversation guidance, explicit model routing for subagents. Cut token waste 40-60%.
  • Session briefs - /wrap-up now generates a session-brief.md (under 2KB) capturing active items + corrections. /start fast-loads it, skipping 4+ file reads on boot.
  • Skill lifecycle - New _archived/ directory for inactive skills. /month-end skill audit moves unused skills out. Fewer active skills = better auto-activation.
  • Lessons compression - /month-end now compresses lessons.md when it exceeds 100 lines. Archives full version, keeps only high-recurrence patterns.
  • New rules - Agent failure logging (fix root cause, don't retry blindly), project context loading (read project memory before any project task).
  • 18 skills, CLAUDE.md v2.5

v2.3 - March 2026

  • Self-learning RSS scoring - Auto-prunes low-signal patterns, compiled pattern cache for 50% faster scoring, monthly weight decay prevents stale keywords.
  • Open Loop Audit skill - Classifies backlog items as "leaves desk" (agent completes) vs "lands on desk" (you decide). Catches delegation theater.
  • WebFetch blocklist - 4-tier domain blocklist prevents wasted fetches on paywalls and bot-blocked sites. Pre-loaded with common blockers.
  • First 15 Minutes onboarding - Restructured setup guide. See your first briefing in under 5 minutes, customize on Day 2+.
  • Sync-state timing - Per-component performance tracking (RSS, YouTube, entity scan). Detect regressions across sessions.

  • Security audit skill - 3-category audit (security, resilience, scale) with agent-ready fix prompts. Run before launches or quarterly.
  • Agent safety rules - Blast radius discipline, maxTurns caps, co-evolution audits. Prevents runaway agents and multi-file disasters.

Common questions.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You unzip a folder, run a setup script, and type /start. The config files are markdown (plain text). If you can edit a text file, you can use BriefDay.

What do I need to run this?

Claude Code (requires a Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise subscription from Anthropic). macOS, Linux, or WSL. Python 3.8+ for the scripts.

Is this safe? Can it delete my files?

BriefDay ships in safe mode. Hooks block destructive commands (rm -rf, force push, etc.). Memory gets backed up before edits. No skip-permissions required.

How is this different from a ChatGPT custom instruction?

Custom instructions are a paragraph of text. BriefDay is an entire system: 18 skills that auto-activate, persistent memory across sessions, RSS feeds, inbox processing, multi-agent delegation, and a daily workflow. It turns Claude Code into an operating system.

Can I customize it for my industry?

That's the entire point. The setup script personalizes your config. CONTEXT.md is a fill-in-the-blank profile. Add your own RSS feeds, contacts, decision filters, and voice rules. Three industry examples are included.

What if I already have a CLAUDE.md?

BriefDay's CLAUDE.md is modular. You can merge sections into your existing config or use BriefDay's as a fresh start. The setup script won't overwrite anything without asking.

Do I get updates?

Yes. BriefDay v2.5 is live now with token discipline, session briefs for fast restarts, and skill lifecycle management. Updates are included. The system is also designed to be extended by you over time.

What's the refund policy?

14 days, no questions asked. If BriefDay isn't for you, email us and you get a full refund.

Will I actually use this after the first week?

Most people hit the habit around session 5. That's when /sync saves you real time and memory starts carrying context you didn't have to re-type. If you don't see value in 14 days, full refund.

Is $67 really one-time? No hidden fees?

One-time, forever yours. No subscription. You get all updates to the current major version. v2.5 is the latest.

Why not just build my own CLAUDE.md?

You could. It took 12 months to build this one. BriefDay gives you the system, the skills, the scripts, the memory architecture, and the daily workflow out of the box. You customize it. You don't have to build it from scratch.

My role is pretty unique. Will this work for me?

BriefDay is a framework, not a rigid template. The setup script asks your name, role, and industry. CONTEXT.md is fill-in-the-blank. Voice.md adapts to your writing style. Three examples ship (consultant, developer, founder), but the system works for any knowledge worker.

Can my whole team use this?

BriefDay is a single-user system (one license = one person). Each person gets their own config, memory, and context. Looking for a team setup? Email [email protected] and we'll work something out.
