## What it does

This skill generates a weekly summary using the Spark CLI. It starts by pulling calendar events via `spark events --week`. Next, it tallies unread emails from the past 7 days across categories: priority, personal, notification, and newsletter. Only item counts are reported unless you request full email bodies.

The recipe also checks team assignments with `spark team` and lists meetings that have transcripts available. Multi-account setups begin with `spark accounts` to divide the statistics.

The recipe requires the `use-spark` base skill for Spark syntax and filter rules. It operates entirely under read-only access.

# Recipe: Weekly Digest

Generate a weekly summary covering calendar events, unread email by category, and team status.

**Prerequisite:** Read the `use-spark` base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

**Access level required:** read-only.

## Steps

### Step 1: This week's calendar

```bash
spark events --week
```

List all meetings and events for the week.

### Step 2: Unread email breakdown by category

```bash
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread newer_than:7d"
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:personal is:unread newer_than:7d"
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:notification is:unread newer_than:7d"
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:newsletter newer_than:7d"
```

Count items in each category for the summary.

### Step 3: Team status

```bash
spark team "Team Name"
```

Review assignment summary - open items per member, unassigned work.

### Step 4: Recent meeting transcripts

```bash
spark meetings --filter "newer_than:7d"
```

List meetings that have transcripts available for review.

### Step 5: Present the digest

Summarize for the user:
- **Calendar:** N events this week (highlight important ones)
- **Email:** unread counts by category (people: M, priority: K, notifications: L, newsletters: J)
- **Team:** open assignments, any bottlenecks
- **Meetings:** transcripts available for review

## Tips

- Run this recipe on Monday morning for a forward-looking view, or Friday afternoon for a retrospective.
- Skip the team step if the user doesn't work with teams.
- For the email breakdown, just report counts - don't list individual emails unless asked.
- If the user has multiple accounts, run `spark accounts` first and report per-account.
- Combine with `recipe-inbox-by-category` to process the most active categories first.
