End of Day

Refer to ~/.claude/skills/obsidian-core/SKILL.md for CLI patterns, preflight checks, and error handling.

Mode Selection

Check the user's invocation:

• Guided mode (default): Walk through completed tasks, open tasks, and reflection conversationally, waiting for responses before proceeding
• Quick mode: If the user says "quick", "fast", "just dump it", or "summary mode", gather all data and present the full EOD summary for confirmation in one pass (original behavior)

Depth Mode

Determine reflection depth based on context:

• Light touch (default on weekdays): 2 reflection questions — biggest win and anything for tomorrow
• Deep reflection (default on Fridays, or if the user says "deep" or "reflect"): 4 questions — wins, blockers, what you'd do differently, and what you learned

Check today's day of week (from the date) to set the default.

Workflow (Guided Mode)

Step 1: Gather Data

Run these in parallel — this is background data gathering, not a user interaction step:

obsidian daily:read 2>/dev/null
obsidian tasks daily 2>/dev/null
obsidian files folder=Sessions 2>/dev/null

From tasks daily, separate completed (- [x]) and open (- [ ]) tasks. From files folder=Sessions, filter for files matching today's date prefix YYYY-MM-DD-*.

Step 2: Completed Tasks

Show the completed tasks found. Ask: "Anything else you finished today that isn't tracked here?"

Wait for response. Add any extras to the completed list.

Step 3: Open Tasks

Show open tasks in batches of 5. For each batch, ask: "For these — carry forward to tomorrow, drop them, or already done?"

Wait for response after each batch before showing the next.

Step 4: Reflection

Ask reflection questions one at a time, waiting for a response between each.

Light touch (weekdays):

1. "What was your biggest win today?"
2. "Anything you want to remember for tomorrow?"

Deep reflection (Fridays or "deep"/"reflect" invocation):

1. "What was your biggest win today?"
2. "What blocked you or slowed you down?"
3. "What would you do differently?"
4. "What did you learn today?"

Step 5: Summary and Append

Assemble the EOD summary from everything collected and present it for confirmation:

## EOD Summary — YYYY-MM-DD

**Completed today:**
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2

**Carry to tomorrow:**
- [ ] Unfinished item A

**Key accomplishments:**
- [wins from reflection]

**Sessions worked:**
- [session file names / topics]

**Reflection:**
- [answers from Step 4]

After the user confirms, append to the daily note:

obsidian daily:append content="---\n## EOD Summary\n\n**Completed:**\n- [x] ...\n\n**Carry forward:**\n- [ ] ...\n\n**Accomplishments:**\n- ...\n\n**Reflection:**\n- ...\n"

Notes

• Always present the summary for review before appending — never write silently
• Carry-forward items are informational; they surface in tomorrow's morning-plan carryover check
• If the daily note doesn't exist, the append command will create it
