description

Generate today's journal note when the user says /today or asks for a daily log. Use template `00_inbox/日记模版.md` (fallback `00_inbox/日记模板.md`), create the note in `99_学习情况记录`, add a bilingual (Chinese + English) major-news section for the latest 24 hours (world, finance, technology), list unfinished tasks from existing notes in `99_学习情况记录`, and list today's tasks extracted from `Overview & Study Record.md` as markdown checkboxes.

Today

Overview

Create one completed daily note with three ordered modules and save it to the study-log folder.

Use this workflow every time the user asks for /today.

Workflow

1. Resolve required paths.

   • Prefer template 00_inbox/日记模版.md.
   • If missing, fallback to 00_inbox/日记模板.md.
   • Use output folder 99_学习情况记录.
   • Use overview file Overview & Study Record.md.

2. Determine today's target filename.

   • Format: YYYY-MM-DD——<DayAbbrev>.md (for example 2026-02-02——Mon.md).
   • If the file already exists, update it in place instead of creating a duplicate.

3. Build module 1 (news, bilingual).

   • Search the web for major news in the latest 24 hours in three categories:
     • World
     • Finance
     • Technology
   • Keep 3 items per category.
   • For each item, write one Chinese line and one English line.
   • Include publish time and source.
   • Follow references/news-format.md.

4. Build module 2 and module 3 (tasks) with the helper script.

   • Run:
     • python3 .codex/skills/today/scripts/extract_today_tasks.py --date YYYY-MM-DD
   • Use the generated markdown block directly.
   • If the script reports missing data, insert explicit placeholders instead of guessing.

5. Compose the final note.

   • Start from the resolved diary template content.
   • Place module order exactly:
     • Module 1: 24h News (bilingual)
     • Module 2: Unfinished Tasks (from old diaries)
     • Module 3: Today's Tasks (from overview plan)
   • Use markdown checkboxes (- [ ]) for all task bullets.

6. Save and verify.

   • Confirm file is under 99_学习情况记录.
   • Confirm all three modules exist.
   • Confirm module 1 is bilingual and within latest 24 hours.

Notes

• Do not edit .obsidian/ files.
• Do not fabricate news. If data is insufficient, state that clearly in the note.
• Keep wording concise and execution-focused.
