What happens if a note for today already exists?

If a note already exists, Claude will read the current content and offer to add new logs, wins, or reflections to the existing file rather than overwriting it.

Where are the daily notes stored?

Notes are stored in a standardized directory structure at 06_Daily/daily/ within your configured project or vault root.

How does Vault Daily handle different dates?

The skill automatically determines the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format and supports natural language requests for 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'.

Can I track metrics like mood and energy?

Yes, the skill prompts you for mood and energy levels on a scale of 1-5 and records them directly into the Markdown file's YAML frontmatter.

What is included in the default template?

The template includes structured sections for Morning Intentions, Log, Wins, Learnings, and plans for Tomorrow.
