Today

Overview

Create one completed daily note with three ordered modules and save it to the study-log folder.

Use this workflow every time the user asks for /today.

Workflow

1. •

   Resolve required paths.

   • •Prefer template 00_inbox/日记模版.md.
   • •If missing, fallback to 00_inbox/日记模板.md.
   • •Use output folder 99_学习情况记录.
   • •Use overview file Overview & Study Record.md.
2. •

   Determine today's target filename.

   • •Format: YYYY-MM-DD——<DayAbbrev>.md (for example 2026-02-02——Mon.md).
   • •If the file already exists, update it in place instead of creating a duplicate.
3. •

   Build module 1 (news, bilingual).

   • •Search the web for major news in the latest 24 hours in three categories:
     • •World
     • •Finance
     • •Technology
   • •Keep 3 items per category.
   • •For each item, write one Chinese line and one English line.
   • •Include publish time and source.
   • •Follow references/news-format.md.
4. •

   Build module 2 and module 3 (tasks) with the helper script.

   • •Run:
     • •python3 .codex/skills/today/scripts/extract_today_tasks.py --date YYYY-MM-DD
   • •Use the generated markdown block directly.
   • •If the script reports missing data, insert explicit placeholders instead of guessing.
5. •

   Compose the final note.

   • •Start from the resolved diary template content.
   • •Place module order exactly:
     • •Module 1: 24h News (bilingual)
     • •Module 2: Unfinished Tasks (from old diaries)
     • •Module 3: Today's Tasks (from overview plan)
   • •Use markdown checkboxes (- [ ]) for all task bullets.
6. •

   Save and verify.

   • •Confirm file is under 99_学习情况记录.
   • •Confirm all three modules exist.
   • •Confirm module 1 is bilingual and within latest 24 hours.

Notes

• •Do not edit .obsidian/ files.
• •Do not fabricate news. If data is insufficient, state that clearly in the note.
• •Keep wording concise and execution-focused.
