SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Evening wrap-up routines in Obsidian require manually creating tomorrow's daily note, carrying forward unfinished work, and maintaining a monthly index, which is repetitive and error-prone when done by hand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Note Creation: Writes tomorrow's daily note following an exact section structure, including weekend-specific omissions like removing work sections. - Carry-Forward Tracking: Gathers incomplete items from today's note and overdue Todoist tasks so pending work is never lost. - Monthly Index Maintenance: Adds the new day's wikilink under the correct weekday or weekend section without duplicates. - Atomic Write Verification: Uses a macOS script to atomically replace notes and verify byte stability against stale concurrent writers. - Use Case: At the end of your workday, ask for a wrap-up and get tomorrow's note pre-populated with carried-over tasks, plus an updated monthly index, verified on disk. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the daily note wrap-up for today, creating tomorrow's note in your Obsidian vault and updating the monthly index.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate daily note creation in Obsidian?

Daily note automation reads today's note for context, gathers incomplete tasks, and writes tomorrow's note with an exact section structure. This skill also updates the monthly index and verifies the result by reading the file back from disk.

How to carry forward unfinished tasks to tomorrow's daily note?

Carry-forward works by extracting unchecked items from today's note and overdue Todoist items, then placing them into tomorrow's note. Both sources are treated independently so pending work is preserved even if one source returns nothing.

Does this daily note workflow work on Windows or Linux?

The core note-writing workflow supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. However, the atomic-note-replace-verify.sh recovery script requires macOS because it depends on the chflags immutable flag.

Why does my daily note revert after writing it?

A stale concurrent writer can overwrite the note after your edit, making a read-back show old content. The fix is an atomic sibling-temp-file replacement with an immutable hold, then SHA-256 stability checks to confirm the bytes persist.

What happens to work sections in daily notes on weekends?

On weekends, work-specific sections such as a Work heading are omitted entirely rather than left as empty headings or placeholders. Empty sections follow the user's exact omission rule instead of using filler text.
