Overview

This skill manages a closed-loop daily and weekly planning system designed to work with Obsidian. It writes and updates notes under a Growth/ folder, keeps daily task lists, runs weekly reviews, and auto-generates higher-level month/quarter/year summaries when appropriate. The tone is minimal: record tasks as-is and only offer decomposition when explicitly requested.

How this skill works

The skill creates and updates Markdown notes in Growth/{year}/ using ISO week numbering and fixed section blocks (e.g., ## 🧭 今日规划, ## 📌 本周总结). For daily use it ensures today’s note exists, optionally collects unfinished tasks from recent notes, asks for today’s task list, and writes them verbatim as - [ ]. For weekly use it aggregates this week’s items, surfaces top unfinished tasks, writes a concise summary and populates the next week’s plan. When crossing boundaries (new week/month/quarter/year) it checks for missing higher-level summaries and auto-generates minimal YAML-frontmatter notes with 5–8 bullet summary points.

When to use it

• Start the system: say “init” or initialization to create Growth/{current year}/
• Morning or daily planning: trigger with “daily”, “plan”, “today”, or “morning”
• Create a blank journal: say “create diary” or equivalent
• Weekly review: say “weekly”, “this week”, or “weekly review” (or run on Sunday)
• Let the skill auto-generate month/quarter/year summaries during normal daily/weekly use when period boundaries are crossed

Best practices

• Give tasks as simple lines or bullet lists; the skill writes them verbatim as checklist items
• Don’t expect automatic task decomposition—ask explicitly if you want suggestions or breakdowns
• Keep Obsidian vault consistent: all notes under Growth/{year}/ to enable reliable aggregation
• Use the weekly review to convert top unfinished items into clear next-week actions
• Trust the auto-summary behavior: it only adds minimal blocks and YAML frontmatter to generated files

Example use cases

• Morning planning: collect today’s meetings, focus items, and errands; written directly to today’s note
• Recover unfinished work: list yesterday’s unresolved checkboxes and choose which to carry over
• Sunday closeout: run weekly review to get two actionable takeaways, one bottleneck, and next week’s Top 3
• On month/quarter/year boundary: let the skill auto-create a short generated summary note for higher-level reflection
• Create a blank diary file quickly with the correct frontmatter and planning blocks
