Daily Setup Skill

This skill helps you start your day by creating or updating today's daily note in your Obsidian vault.

Purpose

Automatically create or update the 🌅 Daily Notes section of your daily note with:

• Summary of yesterday's work
• Incomplete tasks carried forward
• Proper date navigation

Context

• Daily notes location: 20_Notes/Journal/YYYY/Mnn/YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Template: 90_Templates/Temporal/Daily.md
• Obsidian vault: ~/Obsidian/Altellus
• Today's date: Use current date to determine the file path

Workflow

1. Check if today's daily note exists

• Path format: 20_Notes/Journal/2025/M11/2025-11-18.md (example)
• If it doesn't exist, create it from the template at 90_Templates/Temporal/Daily.md

2. Fill "어제 요약" (Yesterday Summary) section

• Read yesterday's daily note from 20_Notes/Journal/YYYY/Mnn/YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Summarize:
  • Completed tasks (marked with [x])
  • Main activities from the note content
  • Key insights from the Daily Review section
• List any incomplete tasks from yesterday
• Update the wikilink to yesterday's date: [[YYYY-MM-DD]]

3. Handle "오늘 이어서 할 일" (Tasks to Continue Today) section - TaskNotes format

• Extract incomplete tasks from yesterday in TaskNotes format: - [ ] [[Task Name]]
• Exclude completed tasks: - [x] [[Task Name]] ✅ YYYY-MM-DD
• Update scheduled date for overdue tasks:
  • For each incomplete task from yesterday, read the task file from 00_Inbox/Tasks/
  • If the task's scheduled date in frontmatter is before today, update it to today's date (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • This ensures overdue tasks are rescheduled to today
• If user provides new tasks, add them as - [ ] [[Task Name]] wikilinks
• TaskNotes: Tasks are individual markdown files in 00_Inbox/Tasks/ folder

4. Fill "관련 노트" (Related Notes) section automatically

• Extract wikilinks from yesterday's Notes section
• Extract task paths from yesterday's YAML pomodoros array (taskPath field)
• Remove duplicates and list as - [[Note Name]]
• This provides automatic tracking of what notes/tasks you worked on yesterday

5. Leave empty sections as-is

These sections are filled by the user during the day:

• 감사노트 (gratitude) - user fills this
• 오늘의 포커스 (today's focus) - user defines

Output Format

Provide the complete content to write/update in today's daily note, preserving all frontmatter and structure.

Important:

• Only modify the "🌅 Daily Notes" section
• Leave "## Notes", "## Retro", and "🌙 Daily Review" sections untouched
• Preserve all YAML frontmatter (especially pomodoro tracking)

Usage

This skill is called via the /pkm:daily-setup command, typically first thing in the morning to prepare your daily note.

Integration

• Works with Periodic Notes plugin in Obsidian
• Reads from the daily note template
• Maintains wikilink navigation between dates
• Respects YAML frontmatter structure

Example

Input: User runs /pkm:daily-setup on 2025-11-19

Process:

1. Check if 20_Notes/Journal/2025/M11/2025-11-19.md exists
2. Read yesterday's note: 20_Notes/Journal/2025/M11/2025-11-18.md
3. Extract completed tasks and insights from 2025-11-18
4. Create/update today's note with yesterday's summary
5. Link to yesterday: [[2025-11-18]]

Output: Updated daily note with filled "어제 요약" section and wikilink navigation ready for the day.
