granola-actions

Generates a daily action item wrap-up from your Granola meeting notes and DMs it to you in Slack every evening.

What it does

At 5 PM on weekdays, it:

1. Reads today's meetings from the local Granola cache
2. Calls Claude to extract four categories of action items:
   • Todos — tasks you need to do
   • Commitments — things you promised to deliver to others
   • Decisions — decisions you need to make or drive
   • Open questions — unresolved questions that need follow-up
3. DMs you the results in Slack

Requirements

• macOS with Granola installed and signed in
• Python 3 (no third-party packages needed)
• An Anthropic API key
• A Slack app with chat:write, im:write, and conversations.open scopes

Setup

1. Add this to your granola-sync repo

Copy these files alongside your existing sync-granola.py:

generate-daily-actions.py
generate-daily-actions.sh
com.granola-actions.plist.template
install.sh
.claude/skills/daily-actions/SKILL.md

2. Create a Slack app

1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create a new app
2. Under OAuth & Permissions, add bot scopes: chat:write, im:write, conversations.open
3. Install the app to your workspace
4. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-)
5. Get your Slack user ID: Slack > your name > ⋯ > Copy member ID

3. Run install.sh

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

This creates ~/.granola-actions-env for your credentials and installs the launchd job.

4. Fill in credentials

Edit ~/.granola-actions-env:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-..."
export SLACK_USER_ID="U0XXXXXXX"

5. Test it

python3 generate-daily-actions.py
