+# Daily Briefing
+
+Generate a concise morning briefing. This skill demonstrates how
+Claude Code can replicate OpenClaw's HEARTBEAT.md autonomous tasks.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Search for today's top AI news (3 items max)
+2. Search for any breaking tech news
+3. Summarize in a structured briefing
+
+## Output format
+
+```
+## Morning Briefing - [date]
+
+### Top AI News
+- [headline]: [one-sentence summary] ([source])
+- ...
+
+### Action Items
+- [anything that needs attention today]
+
+### Weather
+[Not available without location API - add your own MCP server]
+```
+
+## Automation
+
+To run this daily, see `automation/README.md` for cron and
+launchd setup instructions. You can schedule this with:
+
+```bash
+claude -p "Run /daily-briefing" --output-format text
+```

+
+# Send Slack Message
+
+Send a message to a Slack channel. This demonstrates how Claude Code
+handles messaging through MCP servers, compared to OpenClaw's 15+
+native channel integrations.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You need a Slack MCP server configured in `.mcp.json`. Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "slack": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["@anthropic-ai/mcp-slack@latest"],
+      "env": {
+        "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "xoxb-your-token-here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Tell Claude Code: "Send a message to #general saying [your message]"
+
+Claude Code will use the Slack MCP server's `send_message` tool.
+
+## How this compares to OpenClaw
+
+OpenClaw has native Slack integration (Bolt SDK, no config needed
+beyond token). Claude Code uses MCP as the integration layer. The
+result is the same: a message arrives in Slack. The setup differs:
+OpenClaw is plug-and-play, Claude Code requires MCP configuration.
+
+## Other messaging channels
+
+- **Telegram:** Native via Claude Code Channels (v2.1.80+)
+- **Discord:** Via MCP server
+- **Email:** Via MCP server (e.g., Gmail MCP)
+- **Teams:** Via MCP server or webhook

+
+# Web Research
+
+Conduct thorough web research on a topic. This skill demonstrates
+Claude Code's built-in WebSearch and WebFetch tools, which match
+OpenClaw's Brave Search + Firecrawl combination.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Take the user's research question
+2. Generate 3-5 targeted search queries
+3. Search and read the top results for each
+4. Cross-reference claims across sources
+5. Produce a structured summary with citations
+
+## Output format
+
+```
+## Research: [topic]
+
+### Key Findings
+1. [finding] ([source URL])
+2. [finding] ([source URL])
+3. [finding] ([source URL])
+
+### Details
+[Longer explanation with inline citations]
+
+### Sources
+- [title] - [URL]
+- [title] - [URL]
+
+### Confidence
+[High/Medium/Low] - [reason]
+
+### Gaps
+[What could not be verified or found]
+```
+
+## Comparison to OpenClaw
+
+OpenClaw uses Brave Search API with Firecrawl as anti-bot fallback.
+Claude Code uses WebSearch (built-in, no API key needed) and WebFetch
+for full page reading. Both achieve the same outcome. Claude Code's
+advantage: zero configuration. OpenClaw's advantage: configurable
+search provider and caching.
