Daily Note Creator Command

Creates today's daily note from the template, or opens it if it already exists.

Installation

Copy this file to .claude/commands/daily.md in your vault root.

Usage

claude code /daily

Configuration

Customize these paths to match your vault structure:

// Path Configuration (customize these)
const DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER = "Daily Notes";
const TEMPLATE_PATH = "Templates/Daily Template.md";
const DATE_FORMAT = "YYYY-MM-DD"; // Change if you prefer different format

What This Command Does

Checks if today's note exists
- If yes: Opens the existing note
- If no: Creates new note from template
Template Processing
- Replaces {{date}} with today's date
- Replaces {{date:format}} with formatted dates
- Handles date arithmetic (e.g., {{date-1}} for yesterday)
Automatic Organization
- Places note in correct folder
- Names file with today's date
- Preserves your template structure

Template Variables

Your daily template can use these variables:

{{date}} - Today's date in default format
{{date:dddd}} - Day name (e.g., Monday)
{{date:MMMM DD, YYYY}} - Formatted date
{{date-1:YYYY-MM-DD}} - Yesterday's date
{{date+1:YYYY-MM-DD}} - Tomorrow's date
{{time}} - Current time

Example Workflow

Morning routine:
```
claude code /daily
```
Creates today's note with your template
Review yesterday: The template automatically links to yesterday's note
Plan tomorrow: End of day, set tomorrow's priority in the reflection

Customization Ideas

Different Date Formats

Change DATE_FORMAT to:

"YYYY-MM-DD" - Standard ISO format (recommended)
"MM-DD-YYYY" - US format
"DD-MM-YYYY" - European format
"YYYY-MM-DD-ddd" - Include day abbreviation

Folder Organization

Organize by month/year:

const year = new Date().getFullYear();
const month = String(new Date().getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
const DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER = `Daily Notes/${year}/${month}`;

Multiple Templates

For different day types:

const dayOfWeek = new Date().getDay();
const TEMPLATE_PATH = dayOfWeek === 1 
  ? "Templates/Monday Template.md"  // Special Monday template
  : "Templates/Daily Template.md";   // Regular template

Troubleshooting

Note not created?

Check template path exists
Verify folder permissions
Ensure template file is readable

Wrong date format?

Adjust DATE_FORMAT constant
Check system date settings

Links not working?

Verify date format matches
Check file naming convention

/weekly - Create weekly review
/push - Save changes to Git
/onboard - Load context

Command Version: 1.0 Compatible with: Claude Code CLI

Pro Tip: Run this as part of your morning routine for consistency!
