Capture Daily Note

Write Markdown into today's daily note in $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/-Daily-Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• record a journal-style note
• save a short summary from a conversation
• add authored content to today's daily note
• explicitly target the daily note inbox with non-task capture

Do not use this skill for read-it-later ingestion. Use capture-read-it-later instead.

Vault contract

• Vault root: $LIFEWIKI_VAULT
• Daily notes live in -Daily-Notes/
• Daily notes are named YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Default authored section: ## Notes 📝
• Optional alternate section: ## Inbox 📥
• Never write into ## Logs 🪵 or query-driven dashboard sections

Workflow

1. Resolve today's note path using the current local date and $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/-Daily-Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
2. Confirm the note exists. If it does not, stop and report the missing path.
3. Find the target section:
   • default to ## Notes 📝
   • allow explicit override to ## Inbox 📥
4. Append the new content inside that section, preserving surrounding Markdown.
5. Report exactly where the content was written.

Formatting rules

• Keep the user's wording unless a small cleanup is clearly helpful.
• Preserve existing heading structure and spacing.
• Use Markdown bullets only when the content is inherently list-shaped.
• For plain note capture, prefer a short paragraph or a dated bullet rather than a task checkbox.
• Do not create new daily note templates or alter unrelated sections.

Failure handling

• If the daily note is missing, stop and report the expected path.
• If the target section heading is missing, stop and report the required heading text.
• If the user asks to write into the logs area, refuse and explain that logs are query-driven in this vault.
