What it does

How to work in a Plain Notes project (the `plain-notes` starter pack): a flat notes/ folder plus a daily/ journal. The 'I just want to write' layout. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to jot a note, capture a quick thought, or write today's journal entry. Carries the linking habit and daily-entry behavior so templates and folder descriptions stay minimal. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Plain Notes pack, how to work here

The lightest pack: no posture imposed, just write and link.

This skill is pack guidance. The platform /open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation, this layers the notes habit on top.

Folders

  • notes/, one file per topic, flat. Promote a note into a more structured layout later if you outgrow this.
  • daily/, one journal entry per day (YYYY-MM-DD.md): morning intentions, capture through the day, evening reflection.

Agent behaviors

  • Link liberally. The value of this pack is the graph that emerges from links, when a note or entry mentions something worth its own page, link it (stub the page if it doesn't exist yet). OK's link graph builds itself from those edges.
  • Daily entries: on the first entry of a day, link to yesterday's entry (its own dated file, e.g. 2026-07-08.md) and pre-fill the date, so the linear journal is also a navigable graph.
  • The mood, top3, and gratitude frontmatter fields on daily entries let you look back across days; fill them when journaling.

Templates

note and daily carry only structure; write freely.
