/today - Daily Planning

Generate today's plan from vault contents.

Steps

1. •Check if daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md exists - if so, read it first
2. •Find tasks by due date using grep (never glob all tasks):
   • •Grep for due: YYYY-MM-DD (today's date) → Due Today
   • •Grep for dates before today → Overdue
   • •If no tasks found for today/overdue, grep for dates through end of week
   • •If still none, grep to find the next earliest due date
3. •Read only the matching task files
4. •Grep projects/*.md for status: active, read those files
5. •Run git log --since="midnight" --grep="cos:" --oneline for today's activity
6. •Create or update daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Task Discovery (grep-first approach)

All tasks have due: YYYY-MM-DD in frontmatter. Use grep to find relevant tasks efficiently:

# Today's tasks (replace with actual date)
grep -l "due: 2026-01-23" tasks/*.md

# Overdue: grep for each date before today, or use date range pattern
grep -l "due: 2026-01-2[0-2]" tasks/*.md  # dates 20-22 if today is 23rd

# This week: grep for dates through end of week
grep -l "due: 2026-01-2[3-9]" tasks/*.md  # adjust pattern for week

Only read files returned by grep. Never glob and read all task files.

Update Behavior

When the daily file already exists:

• •Keep any [x] completed items as-is
• •Keep any manually added items (not from vault tasks)
• •Add new tasks from vault that aren't already present
• •Refresh the Recent Activity section with latest git log
• •Preserve any custom sections added by user
