daily-planner

Daily Planner

Automates daily planning by fetching Google Calendar events and creating/updating Obsidian notes.

When to Use

Invoke /daily-planner at the start of your day to:

• Create today's daily note (if it doesn't exist)
• Create meeting note files for actual meetings (auto-filtered)
• Enrich meeting files with Google Meet links, descriptions, document attachments, and linked Notion notes
• Match calendar attendees to People notes
• Link all meetings from the daily note
• Generate a Meeting Preparation section with previous meeting summaries and suggested topics

Workflow

1. Discover Vault and User Identity

Run the discovery scripts to get vault configuration and user identity. All subsequent steps use these values.

SKILL_BASE="<skill_base_dir>"
CACHE_DIR="$HOME/.cache/obsidian-claude-plugins"
mkdir -p "$CACHE_DIR"

VAULT_CONFIG=$("$SKILL_BASE/discover_vault.py" 2>/dev/null || python3 "$SKILL_BASE/discover_vault.py")
VAULT_ROOT=$(echo "$VAULT_CONFIG" | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['vault_root'])")
DAILY_NOTE=$(echo "$VAULT_CONFIG" | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['today']['daily_note_absolute'])")

SELF_JSON=$("$SKILL_BASE/discover_self.py" 2>/dev/null || python3 "$SKILL_BASE/discover_self.py")
echo "$SELF_JSON" > "$CACHE_DIR/self.json"

Replace <skill_base_dir> with the base directory shown at the top of this skill's context.

2. Fetch Calendar Events

Discover all gog-authenticated Google accounts, fetch today's events from each, merge and filter them.

python3 "$SKILL_BASE/discover_events.py" \
  --self-json "$CACHE_DIR/self.json" \
  --cache-dir "$CACHE_DIR" \
  > "$CACHE_DIR/events.json"

By default only the primary calendar of each account is queried (not shared or coworker calendars). To include additional calendars, use --calendars "cal-id-1,cal-id-2". To fetch all visible calendars (old behavior), use --all-calendars.

Check for warnings in stderr. If a gog account has an expired token, the script prints a re-auth command and continues with remaining accounts.
