# 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`). For reading or appending to today's note, use `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, 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. ## 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
