Daily Skill
This skill opens the day with full context so you can hit the ground running. It bridges yesterday's loose ends with today's priorities, keeping nothing lost between sessions.
Step 1: Find Yesterday's Context
Look in daily/ for the most recent daily note before today. Read it and extract:
- Any unchecked tasks (
- [ ]) or items under End of Day that signal unfinished work
- Any Blockers that were listed
These become the Carry Forward section in today's note.
If no previous daily note exists, skip this step — it's a fresh start.
Step 2: Read or Create Today's Daily Note
Check for daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md using today's actual date.
If it exists: Read it and use it as the basis for the briefing. Don't overwrite the user's content.
If it doesn't exist: Create it using the template from references/templates.md:
- Use the Standard Weekday template as the base
- On Mondays, add the Week Focus section
- On Fridays, add the Week Retro section
- Populate Carry Forward with items extracted in Step 1
- Replace
{{DATE}} with today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format
