TODO Skill

Add TODO items to today's daily note.

When to Use

• User says "todo", "add task", "remind me to", etc.
• Invoked as /todo content here

Workflow

Step 1: Locate Vault

VAULT_DIR="$HOME/repo/github.com/Takayyz/obsidian-vaults/vaults"

Step 2: Resolve Today's Daily Note

TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
DAILY_FILE="$VAULT_DIR/daily/$TODAY.md"

If the file does not exist:

1. Read $VAULT_DIR/_templates/daily-template.md
2. Replace {{date}} with today's date
3. Write the result to $DAILY_FILE

Step 3: Get TODO Content

• Use arguments if provided with the skill invocation
• Otherwise ask: "What's the TODO?"
• If multiple lines are given, treat each as a separate TODO item

Step 4: Append to TODO Section

Append to the end of the ## TODO section (just before the next ## heading).

Each item uses Obsidian checkbox format:

- [ ] content

Use the Edit tool to append. Never overwrite the entire file.

Step 5: Confirm

Display the full current TODO list from the file.

Carry Forward Convention

When carrying forward incomplete TODO items from a past date to today:

1. Append the item as - [ ] content to today's ## TODO section
2. In the original date's note, mark the item as completed with a forward reference: - [x] content (→M/DD) where M/DD is today's date (e.g., (→3/16))

This distinguishes "actually completed" items from "carried forward" items in the history.

Rules

• Never overwrite existing content. Append only.
• If ## TODO section is missing, report an error (template may be corrupted).
• Always use Obsidian checkbox format (enables toggling in Obsidian UI).
