When to Use

• Agent session 结束后，想把经验/教训记下来
• 随手记一个 TIL 或想法
• 工作中遇到值得记录的事，但不想启动完整日记流程

不适用：

• 完整日记写作 → 使用 diary-assistant
• 周报写作 → 使用 weekly-report

Flow

1. Locate diary file   (~0min, automatic)
2. Determine section   (~0min, automatic)
3. Append content      (~1min)
4. Optional: Anki      (~0min, ask only)

Step 1: Locate Diary File

Diary path configuration is shared with diary-assistant.

Check for config at ~/.config/nini-skill/diary/user-config.md. If not found, check diary-assistant's references/user-config.md as fallback. If neither exists, ask the user for their diary path.

File name: {YYYY-MM-DD}.md (today's date).

If the file doesn't exist, create it with a basic heading:

# {YYYY-MM-DD}

Step 2: Determine Section

Read the existing diary file and decide where to append:

Content type	Target section	Create if missing
Work experience / technical	## 2 Work Log	Yes
Personal note / thought	## 3 Record	Yes
User specifies section	As specified	Yes

If the diary file has no section structure, append at the end.

Step 3: Append Content

Write the content provided by the user (or summarized from the conversation) to the target section. Format rules:

• Use bullet points or short paragraphs
• Preserve the user's voice — don't over-polish
• Add a timestamp prefix if multiple entries exist in the same section: **14:30** — content here
• If the user provides raw conversation context (e.g., "record what we just did"), summarize the key takeaways concisely

Step 4: Optional Anki

If the content contains a TIL (Today I Learned) pattern:

"Want to generate Anki cards from this? (invoke anki-card-generator)"

Only ask, don't auto-invoke.

Common Issues

Issue	Fix
Diary path not found	Ask user, suggest saving to ~/.config/nini-skill/diary/user-config.md
File encoding issues	Obsidian uses UTF-8, ensure write uses UTF-8
Section heading mismatch	Read file first, match existing section names
