A set of instructions for managing daily notes stored in /Notes/Daily Notes/. It defines where notes go, how they are structured, and what their sections mean.

It is for adding tasks to today’s daily list and reading or writing files in the daily-notes folder.

It removes uncertainty about where to put daily tasks and how to read or update the notes consistently.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.01385
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00554
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00277

Security

Grade A, and why

daily-note scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Daily Note

REQUIRED: Invoke the ls-notes:note skill first. Vault structure, conventions, icons, templates, and obsidian CLI guidance there all apply to daily notes.

Location

Daily Notes/YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD - Daily Note.md (e.g., Daily Notes/2026/2026-05/2026-05-09 - Daily Note.md).

With the obsidian CLI, read or append to today's note with obsidian daily:read, obsidian daily:append, and obsidian daily:prepend — these resolve today's date automatically.

Ensure Today's Note Exists

When this skill is invoked with the obsidian CLI available, run obsidian daily:read. It returns today's note content and creates the file from the daily-note template as a side effect if it does not already exist. Idempotent — running it twice does not produce a duplicate.

Skip this step only if the user is asking about a past or future daily note rather than today's.

Precondition: Obsidian must be running. CLI commands dispatch to the running app via IPC; with no app open, they hang. Check via pgrep -fl 'Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/Obsidian' and ask the user to launch Obsidian if needed.

Without the CLI, build the path from today's date in the user's time zone (Pacific), not the server's, and read the note there. If the note doesn't exist, create it from Templates/Periodic/Daily Note.md. Its Templater code doesn't run outside the app, so resolve it by hand as the ls-notes:note skill's template guidance describes, and never leave raw <% %> code in the note.

Task Item Formatting

When adding or reviewing tasks in the daily note, follow these link conventions:

Inline links: Embed links directly in the item text by linking the relevant noun or phrase. Never use a standalone ([link](url)) tag — the link should flow naturally with the sentence. For example: - [ ] Update my [Providing Context doc](https://...) based on the comments not - [ ] Update my Providing Context doc ([link](https://...)) based on comments.
Slack threads: If a task has an associated Slack thread, append ([thread](url)) at the end of the item. For example: - [ ] Draft the vibe code policy ([thread](https://example.slack.com/archives/...)).
Linear issues: If a task has an associated Linear issue, append the issue ID, linked to the issue, at the end of the item. For example: - [ ] Fix the checkout bug ([ABC-123](https://linear.app/...)).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
