Moldavite Daily Notes

Moldavite Daily Notes

Maintain chronological notes without inventing dates or duplicating entries. Follow the Forge's AGENTS.md and existing daily-note style first.

Paths

daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
weekly/YYYY-Www.md

• Daily dates use the user's local calendar date.
• Weekly filenames use ISO week year and two-digit week number.
• Daily and weekly directories are flat; never add nested folders.
• Do not use ordinary calendar year when ISO week year differs around New Year.

Daily Workflow

1. Resolve relative dates such as "today" or "yesterday" in the user's local timezone. Use a system date tool when available instead of guessing.
2. Read the existing note or inspect neighboring daily notes when formatting conventions matter.
3. Use the MCP append_to_daily_note tool for a pure append. Omit date only when the user means local today.
4. Use create_note for a new complete daily note or read-then-write_note for a structured edit.
5. Preserve chronological order, frontmatter, existing headings, and user wording.
6. Check existing content first when duplicate entries would be harmful; append operations do not deduplicate.

Keep appended content self-contained. Add a heading or timestamp only when existing note style uses one or the user asks.

Weekly Workflow

Moldavite has no dedicated MCP weekly-append tool.

1. Calculate the ISO week path.
2. Read the weekly note if present.
3. Create it with create_note when absent.
4. For updates, preserve the full note and use write_note with the complete result.
5. Summarize daily notes only after reading the relevant dates; do not infer missing activity.

App Lifecycle

Moldavite's GUI can display a blank daily or weekly note before a file exists. It creates the file after content is entered and removes an emptied daily or weekly file. MCP create and append operations create files immediately.

Templates

Moldavite includes meeting-notes, daily-log, and project-plan templates. Custom templates are managed in Moldavite and stored as JSON under the Forge's templates/ directory.

Supported substitutions:

{{date}}
{{time}}
{{day_of_week}}

Unknown substitutions remain literal. Only a daily default template is currently applied automatically; do not claim automatic weekly-template support.

See TEMPLATES.md for schema and examples. Prefer the Moldavite UI for creating or changing template JSON.
