Create today's daily note and run the daily brain routine.

When to Use

Start of day: create daily note, review agenda
End of day: summarize, process inbox
Journaling or reflection
/rulebased-second-brain:daily invoked

Procedure

Step 1: Determine Time of Day

Ask or detect from arguments:

Morning — Create daily note, surface review items
Evening — Summarize the day, process inbox
Anytime — Just create/open today's daily note

Step 2: Create or Open Daily Note

Read AGENTS.md to find the journal folder. Create the file as <journal-folder>/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

If it doesn't exist, use templates/journal.md if available. Otherwise create with frontmatter per system/conventions.md:

---
created: YYYY-MM-DD
tags: [journal]
type: journal
mood:
energy:
---

# YYYY-MM-DD

## Done today

## Learned

## Tomorrow

## Reflection

If it exists, open and show current content.

Step 3: Morning Routine

If morning mode:

Show inbox count: how many items in inbox/
Surface review notes (2-3 notes): pick from notes not reviewed in the longest time, add to daily note
Show yesterday's unfinished tasks: find unchecked - [ ] items, offer to carry forward
Recent captures: show items added to inbox in the last 24 hours

Step 4: Evening Routine

If evening mode:

Process inbox: offer to invoke review skill
Summarize captures: list everything captured today
Check task completion: show completion rate, offer carry-forward for unfinished
Prompt reflection: optional reflection prompts
Update daily note with summary and reflection

Step 5: Link Daily Note

Add [[wiki-links]] to any notes referenced today

Link to yesterday's and tomorrow's daily notes:

← [[YYYY-MM-(DD-1)]] | [[YYYY-MM-(DD+1)]] →

Rules

One daily note per day. Never create duplicates.
If the journal folder doesn't exist, create it.
Keep the routine fast — the daily note is a launchpad, not a blocker.
Unfinished tasks should be offered for carry-forward, never silently dropped.
Use folder paths from AGENTS.md, not hardcoded paths.
