About this capability
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 hab
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by inkeep/open-knowledge in packages/server/assets/skills/packs/plain-notes/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
The lightest pack: no posture imposed, just write and link.
This skill is pack guidance. The platform
/open-knowledgeskill (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, andgratitudefrontmatter fields on daily entries let you look back across days; fill them when journaling.
Templates
note and daily carry only structure; write freely.
