Archive Daily Note Skill
Automatically moves yesterday's Obsidian daily note into a past-days/ archive folder.
What It Does
Runs daily (e.g., at 12:05 AM) to move the previous day's note from the vault root into past-days/. Uses obsidian move to preserve wiki-links.
Cron Setup
Schedule as an isolated cron job running shortly after midnight:
Schedule: 5 0 * * * (daily at 00:05)
Target: isolated
Prompt:
Move yesterday's Obsidian daily note into the past-days/ folder.
The note is at the vault root named like 'MM-DD-YYYY DayOfWeek.md'.
Use `obsidian move` so links stay updated.
If it's already in past-days or doesn't exist, skip silently.
Requirements
- Obsidian CLI (
obsidian move command)
- Daily notes named in
MM-DD-YYYY DayOfWeek.md format
- A
past-days/ folder in the vault
Behavior
- Idempotent: Safe to run multiple times; skips if already archived or missing
- Link-safe: Uses Obsidian's move command to update all internal links
- Silent: No output on skip — only reports if something goes wrong
