The skill document

Daily Note Helper

Create or update daily notes under memory/ using a predictable structure.

Workflow

  1. Determine today's date in the user's local timezone when available; otherwise use the runtime timezone.
  2. Use the filename pattern memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
  3. If the file does not exist, create it with the template in references/note-template.md.
  4. Append new entries under the appropriate section heading.
  5. Keep entries concise, timestamped, and action-oriented.
  6. When asked for a recap, read the requested date range and summarize decisions, blockers, and follow-ups.

Entry format

Use this bullet format:

- HH:MM — Topic: what happened; any next step.

Guidelines

  • Prefer appending over rewriting.
  • Preserve existing content exactly unless the user asks to reorganize.
  • Do not duplicate the same event across sections.
  • Store durable facts in MEMORY.md; keep raw chronological detail in daily files.
  • If memory/ does not exist, create it.

Resources

  • Read references/note-template.md before creating a new daily file.
  • Run scripts/new_note.py to scaffold a note safely.
