| description | Create or update today's daily note at `~/knowledge/notes/journal/YYYY/MM-MMM/YYYY-MM-DD-DayName.md`, appending or replacing a session entry under `## Agent Summary`. Use when the user asks to update the daily note, log a session, append to the journal, or when invoked by the session-history hook after a session summary is written. |
Daily Notes
Create or update today's daily note. Append or replace one session entry under ## Agent Summary while preserving everything else.
Required inputs
The caller (interactive user or session-history hook) provides:
agent — agent name (e.g. claude, gen, planner)sessionId — short 8-char ID (e.g. 023a9d1d)summaryPath — absolute path to the session summary filesessionTitle — descriptive title (reuse the H1 from the summary file)body — high-level summary, ≤6 lines (replace each time to reflect all work done)links — every URL and file path shared in the session
If any are missing, derive what you can from summaryPath (read it; the H1 is the title; the frontmatter has agent and date) and ask for the rest.
Path
~/knowledge/notes/journal/YYYY/MM-MMM/YYYY-MM-DD-DayName.md
YYYY = 4-digit year (e.g. 2026)MM-MMM = 2-digit month + 3-letter name, capitalized (05-May, 06-Jun, 12-Dec)DayName = full day name, capitalized (Monday, Tuesday, …)
Build the path from today's date with date '+%Y/%m-%b/%Y-%m-%d-%A' (note: %b is locale-abbreviated month, capitalize the first letter).
⚠️ Always use this absolute path. Never write relative to cwd.
Workflow
- Compute today's path.
- Check if the file exists.
- If missing: create the parent directory if needed, then write the file using the full template below, then add the Agent Summary entry.
- If exists: only modify the
## Agent Summary section. Do not touch any other section.
Full template (use only when creating the file)

## Tasks
## Actions
-
## Notes
## Agent Summary
Replace YYYY-MM-DD-DayName in the H1 with today's actual filename stem.
Agent Summary entry format
Each session entry under ## Agent Summary:
### <agent> [<sessionId>](<summaryPath>) <sessionTitle>
<body — ≤6 lines>
**Links**:
- <link 1>
- <link 2>
Update rules
- One entry per session. Match by
### <agent> [<sessionId>] prefix.
- If that prefix already exists in
## Agent Summary: replace that entire section (from its ### line up to but not including the next ### or end of file) with the new content.
- If it does not exist: append the new entry at the end of
## Agent Summary.
- Replace
body each time — it should reflect all work in the session, not just the latest turn.
- Append
links — never remove existing links. Deduplicate by exact match before writing.
- Never touch other sections (
## Tasks, ## Actions, ## Notes) on an existing file.
- Never ask permission to update.
Examples
Today is Sunday 2026-05-31. Path: ~/knowledge/notes/journal/2026/05-May/2026-05-31-Sunday.md.
New entry:
### claude [023a9d1d](~/knowledge/sessions/2026-05-31/claude-023a9d1d-summary.md) Verified Claude Settings Configuration
Verified all six critical Claude configuration settings in `~/.claude/settings.json`,
including extended thinking mode, ultra-high effort, auto memory, away summaries,
and full-screen TUI mode. Confirmed each setting present with line-number references.
