daily

# Daily Skill ## Status IMPLEMENTED 2026-04-13. ## Purpose Bootstraps today's daily note in the Meta-Vault so the user can start capturing thoughts, scratch work, and "done today" items without yak-shaving YAML frontmatter each morning. The daily note is the anchor of the PKM workflow: it is where the inbox flow starts, where daily momentum is tracked, and where evening reflections land. Every daily note carries the same frontmatter shape (validated by `vaultFrontmatterSchema`), which makes Dataview queries and the vault-sync validator trivial. ## Prerequisites - Must be invoked from inside a Meta-Vault root (cwd contains `03-daily/`) OR with `VAULT_DIR` resolved to the vault path (see Resolution Order below). - `03-daily/` must already exist — the skill fails fast if it does not. - `bash` + `sed` + `date` (always available on macOS/Linux). ### VAULT_DIR Resolution Order 1. `vault-integration.vault-dir` in Session Config (highest precedence) 2. `VAULT_DIR` environment variable 3. `$PWD` (fallback when neither is set) Claude must read Session Config and export `VAULT_DIR` before calling `generate.sh`. The canonical pattern (mirrors `session-end` and `evolve`): ```bash CONFIG=$(cat .orchestrator/session-config.yaml | yq -o json) VM_DIR=$(echo "$CONFIG" | jq -r '."vault-integration"."vault-dir" // empty') : "${VM_DIR:=$VAULT_DIR}" VAULT_DIR="$VM_DIR" bash /path/to/skills/daily/generate.sh ``` `generate.sh` itself reads only `VAULT_DIR` (pure bash, no Config parser)....
