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 (global dashboard, concise table + finance/tech bullets, Chinese-first).

    • Run:
      • python3 .codex/skills/today/scripts/build_news_dashboard.py --date YYYY-MM-DD
    • The script creates a static SVG map in 98_attachment/dashboards and prints the full module 1 markdown to stdout.
    • Data source: default is --source auto (try World Monitor RSS digest, then fallback to GDELT). Override with --source worldmonitor|gdelt or env TODAY_NEWS_SOURCE.
    • Use the printed markdown block directly (it already includes map embed + heat-weighted summary table + finance/tech bullets).
    • Optional: add --translate and set LIBRETRANSLATE_URL to enable machine translation for the Chinese lines.
    • If translation is not enabled or is inaccurate, translate the summaries manually before saving the note.
    • 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: Global Situation Dashboard (Chinese-first)
      • 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 includes the map embed, summary table, and finance/tech bullets 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.
