The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If daily/<today>.md already exists, open it, never overwrite it — jump to Step 2.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Don't overwrite an existing daily note — ever.

    line 47
  3. Very specific:

    Don't process the inbox here (that's /weekly-review).

    line 48
  4. Very specific:

    Don't touch context/ — /daily-plan reads it, /weekly-review restamps it.

    line 49

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

/daily-plan — open the day

One note per day, daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Fast: create it, brief the user, stop. This is a launchpad, not a review — that's /weekly-review's job.

Step 1 — Create today's note (idempotent)

If daily/<today>.md already exists, open it, never overwrite it — jump to Step 2.

Otherwise create it from templates/daily.md, replacing {{date}} with today's date (YYYY-MM-DD). Create daily/ if it doesn't exist yet.

Step 2 — Gather the brief (read-only)

  • context/current-focus.md — what this week is supposed to be about.
  • context/priorities.md — the standing priorities, if present.
  • projects/*.md — any - [ ] under ## Next actions, plus any due: / deadline: that is today, overdue, or inside the next 3 days.
  • Yesterday's note (the most recent daily/*.md before today): unchecked - [ ] items and anything under ## 💡 Captured that never got processed.

Step 3 — Propose the Top 3

Fill ## 🎯 Top 3 today with a proposal, drawn from focus + due items + yesterday's leftovers. Show it and ask the user to confirm or swap. Never invent work that isn't in the vault — if there is nothing to draw on, leave the boxes empty and say so.

Carry forward yesterday's unchecked items only if the user wants them; a stale checkbox copied forward every morning is noise, not a plan.

Step 4 — Brief and stop

Reply with, at most:

  • today's Top 3,
  • anything due or overdue (say which project),
  • one line on unprocessed captures (N items still in the inbox — suggest /weekly-review if it is over ~10, or if the last review was more than a week ago).

Then stop. Don't reorganize, don't rewrite notes, don't create projects.

Don't

  • Don't overwrite an existing daily note — ever. Captures live there.
  • Don't process the inbox here (that's /weekly-review).
  • Don't touch context/ — /daily-plan reads it, /weekly-review restamps it.
