Close Daily Skill

This skill closes out yesterday's daily note by canceling unchecked todos and fixing completion dates.

Instructions

1. •

   Calculate yesterday's date from today's date (use the current date provided in the environment)

2. •

   Construct the file path for yesterday's daily note:

   • •Format: 2. Area/Daily Note/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md
   • •Example: 2. Area/Daily Note/2026/01/2026-01-29.md
3. •

   Read the daily note file using the Read tool

4. •

   Process unchecked todos (- [ ]):

   • •Change checkbox to canceled status: - [-]
   • •Append ❌ YYYY-MM-DD using yesterday's date
   • •Example: - [ ] Some task becomes - [-] Some task ❌ 2026-01-29
5. •

   Fix completion dates for checked todos (- [x]):

   • •Look for todos with ✅ followed by a date
   • •If the date doesn't match yesterday's date (the file name), update it
   • •Example: - [x] Task ✅ 2026-01-30 becomes - [x] Task ✅ 2026-01-29
6. •

   Save changes using the Edit tool (make targeted edits for each change)

7. •

   Report results to the user:

   • •Number of todos canceled
   • •Number of completion dates fixed
   • •Confirm the file was updated

Important Notes

• •Only process the daily note for yesterday, not today
• •Preserve all other content in the file unchanged
• •The emoji characters are: ❌ (canceled) and ✅ (completed)
