What it does

Daily is an agent skill from earlyaidopters/second-brain. Start the day with vault context. Read today's daily note or create one. Surface top priorities. Ask what we're working on.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Note-taking

Example prompts

  • “s daily note or create one. Surface top priorities. Ask what we”
  • “/daily”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72efde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Daily loads about 146 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~146

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 67 words (~146 tokens).

“Read today's daily note at daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md (use today's actual date). If it doesn't exist, create it with this template:”
