Daily: Read Today's Context

Read today's daily note from the Obsidian vault and present a concise summary of what's on the agenda.

Behavior

1. Get today's date using date +%Y-%m-%d via Bash
2. Read the daily note at path Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md using mcp__obsidian__read_note
3. If the note does not exist, tell the user and offer to create it. Do not create it automatically.
4. Parse and present the following sections:

Sections to Surface

• #### To Dos — present as Open Items (only unchecked - [ ] items, count them)
• #### Log — present as Session History (what's already been logged today, if anything)
• #### Related Notes — surface any linked projects, meetings, or learning notes

Output Format

Present a clean, scannable summary. Do not dump the raw markdown. Example:

### Today (YYYY-MM-DD)

**Open Items:** (X remaining)
- [ ] Item 1
- [ ] Item 2

**Session History:**
- [ducky] Designed webby plugin architecture
- [hyperfleet] Reviewed adapter PR

**Related:** [[Project Note]], [[Meeting Note]]

If there are no items in a section, omit that section entirely.

Kanban Active Items

After presenting the daily note sections, also read the kanban board at Work/Kanban.md using mcp__obsidian__read_note. If the board exists, parse the "In Progress" column (split content on ## headings, content before %% kanban:settings) and show active items:

**Kanban — Active:** (2 in progress)
- [[DB Long Transactions]]
- [[Design API spec]]

If the board does not exist or the "In Progress" column is empty, omit this section silently.

Notes

• The daily note path is always Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md with no subdirectories
• Apply the ghostwriter skill for tone
• Keep the output brief. The goal is orientation, not a full readout
