What it does

Create daily notes and manage morning, midday, and evening routines. Structure daily planning, task review, and end-of-day reflection. Use for daily productivity routines or when asked to create today's note.

Installed, it changes the agent in these ways.

What this skill changes about the agent is not written down here yet. The listing was collected from its source, and the description is in its own SKILL.md.

Workflow

Runs a procedure end to end.

The skill itself

This is the whole product. A skill is instructions the model reads, so there is nothing behind the listing you cannot see first — the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

12## Usage
13
14Invoke with /daily or ask Claude to create today's note or help with daily routines.
15
16### Create Today's Note
17```
18/daily
19```
20
21Or simply ask:
22- "Create today's daily note"
23- "Start my morning routine"
24- "Help me with evening shutdown"
25
26## Daily Note Creation
27
28### What Happens
291. **Checks if today's note exists**
30 - If yes: Opens the existing note
31 - If no: Creates new note from template
32
332. **Template Processing**
34 - Replaces {{date}} with today's date
35 - Replaces {{date:format}} with formatted dates
36 - Handles date arithmetic (e.g., {{date-1}} for yesterday)
37
383. **Automatic Organization**
39 - Places note in Daily Notes/ folder
40 - Names file with today's date (YYYY-MM-DD.md)
41 - Preserves template structure
42
43### Template Variables
44Your daily template can use:
45- {{date}} - Today's date in default format
46- {{date:dddd}} - Day name (e.g., Monday)
47- {{date:MMMM DD, YYYY}} - Formatted date
48- {{date-1:YYYY-MM-DD}} - Yesterday's date
49- {{date+1:YYYY-MM-DD}} - Tomorrow's date
50- {{time}} - Current time
51
52## Morning Routine (5-10 minutes)
53
54### Automated Steps
551. Create today's daily note (if not exists)
562. Pull incomplete tasks from yesterday
573. Read this week's ONE Big Thing from Goals/3. Weekly Review.md
584. Surface active project next-actions from Projects/*/CLAUDE.md
595. Review weekly goals for today's priority
60
61### Cascade Context Surfacing
62Before interactive prompts, automatically surface:
63- **ONE Big Thing** from most recent weekly review
64- **Active project next-actions** from Projects/*/CLAUDE.md (read "Next Actions" section)
65- **Monthly priority** from Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md
66
67Display as a brief context block at the top of the morning routine:
68```markdown
69### Today's Context
70- **Week's ONE Big Thing:** [from weekly review]
71- **Active Projects:** [project names with first next-action each]
72- **Monthly Focus:** [from monthly goals]
73```
74
75### Interactive Prompts
76- "What's your ONE thing for today?"
77- "What might get in the way?"
78- "How do you want to feel at end of day?"
79
80### Task Creation Guidance
81When adding tasks to the daily note, recommend linking to goals/projects:
82```markdown
83- [ ] Draft API spec — Supports: [[Projects/MyApp]]
84- [ ] Review chapter 3 — Supports: [[1. Yearly Goals#Read 12 books]]
85```
86

184
185## Time Block Strategies
186
187### Energy-Based
188- High energy tasks in morning
189- Administrative work after lunch
190- Creative work when naturally alert
191
192### Context-Based
193- Batch similar tasks together
194- Minimize context switching
195- Protect deep work blocks
196
197## Configuration
198
199Customize paths to match your vault:
200- Daily notes folder: Daily Notes/
201- Template location: Templates/Daily Template.md
202- Date format: YYYY-MM-DD
203
204### Different Date Formats
205- YYYY-MM-DD - Standard ISO format (recommended)
206- MM-DD-YYYY - US format
207- DD-MM-YYYY - European format
208- YYYY-MM-DD-ddd - Include day abbreviation
209
210### Folder Organization by Month
211Organize daily notes by month/year:
212```
213Daily Notes/2024/01/2024-01-15.md
214```
215
216## Task-Based Progress Tracking
217
218The daily skill uses session tasks to show progress during multi-step routines.
219
220### Morning Routine Tasks
221
222Create tasks at skill start:
223
224```
225TaskCreate:
226 subject: "Create daily note"
227 description: "Create or open today's daily note from template"
228 activeForm: "Creating daily note..."
229
230TaskCreate:
231 subject: "Pull incomplete tasks"
232 description: "Carry forward uncompleted tasks from yesterday"
233 activeForm: "Pulling incomplete tasks from yesterday..."
234
235TaskCreate:
236 subject: "Surface relevant goals"
237 description: "Review weekly/monthly goals for today's priority"
238 activeForm: "Surfacing relevant goals..."
239
240TaskCreate:
241 subject: "Set time blocks"
242 description: "Establish time blocks based on energy and priorities"
243 activeForm: "Setting time blocks..."
244```
245
246### Dependencies
247
248Morning routine tasks run sequentially:
249```
250TaskUpdate: "Pull incomplete tasks", addBlockedBy: [create-daily-note-id]
251TaskUpdate: "Surface relevant goals", addBlockedBy: [pull-incomplete-tasks-id]
252TaskUpdate: "Set time blocks", addBlockedBy: [surface-relevant-goals-id]
253```
254
255### Evening Shutdown Tasks
256
257```
258TaskCreate:
259 subject: "Update task statuses"
260 description: "Mark completed tasks, note blockers"
261 activeForm: "Updating task statuses..."
262
263TaskCreate:
264 subject: "Generate reflection prompts"
265 description: "Prompt for wins, challenges, learnings, gratitude"
266 activeForm: "Generating reflection prompts..."
267
268TaskCreate:
269 subject: "Prepare tomorrow's preview"
270 description: "Identify tomorrow's priority and move incomplete tasks"
271 activeForm: "Preparing tomorrow's preview..."
272```
273
274Mark each task in_progress when starting, completed when done using TaskUpdate.
275
276Task tools provide visibility into what's happening during longer operations. Tasks are session-scoped and don't persist between Claude sessions—your actual work items remain in your daily note markdown checkboxes.
277
278## Integration
279
280Works with:
281- /push - Commit end-of-day changes
282- /weekly - Weekly planning uses daily notes
283- /monthly - Monthly goals inform daily focus
284- /project - Surface project next-actions in morning
285- /onboard - Load context before planning
286- Goal tracking skill - Align daily tasks to goals
287- Productivity Coach - Accountability for daily routines

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈90
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
1,885
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.99%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 10% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

2k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been published here. It is in the skill’s own SKILL.md, which its author has not sent to the marketplace yet.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It asks the agent to write files, using whatever file access your client already has. It never touches the network.

What it asks for
Writes filesyes
Network accessno

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 7.9 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md7.9 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

LicenceMIT — the author’s, unchanged by this purchase
Paid throughStripe, once, on the card you add at the checkout
Keeps workingfor good — the files are yours once they are on disk
Updatesevery update its author ships, delivered through this account

You can read the whole bundle before paying — the SKILL.md above is the product, not a preview of it. What the money buys is the delivery: the folder packaged and handed to your machine by key, every update its author ships, and our support if it does not do what this listing says. The terms of use are MIT, set by the author and unchanged by buying it here.

Payment runs through Stripe, on a page like this one rather than a redirect. Once there is an account it joins the same mcprush invoice as everything else you run, so there is never a second card to enter.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. A client with a skills folder reads it without being told; everywhere else the same text works, it is just handed to the model rather than found.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.

Reviews

no reviews yet · no installs yet

Nobody has reviewed this skill yet. The rating is the mean of the reviews written here, so there is none until somebody writes the first.

Who can post

Only accounts that have had the skill installed for fourteen days, so a review is written after living with it rather than after reading it. Publishers may reply once.
