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.
