Summary

  • Inlines YAML frontmatter template directly in daily-prep SKILL.md step 6
  • Prevents context degradation from causing Claude to skip frontmatter when saving prep files
  • Keeps reference to file-format.md for complete schema details (evening closure, field definitions)

Fixes issue where daily-prep skill often failed to write YAML frontmatter because the passive reference to an external document was frequently missed during multi-step flow execution.

Test plan

  • Run /daily-prep through a test session
  • Verify output file contains YAML frontmatter with date, energy, calendar, and commitment fields
  • Verify /daily-debrief can parse the prep file correctly

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The daily-prep skill often failed to write YAML frontmatter because the
save step only referenced an external file-format.md document. Context
degrades through the multi-step flow (energy question, calendar question,
vault search, dialogue), so Claude frequently missed or skipped the
reference.

Inlining the required frontmatter template directly in step 6 makes the
format unavoidable at write time. The reference document remains for
complete schema details (evening closure, field definitions).

Captures lesson that critical requirements must be inline at execution
time, not delegated to reference documents that may be skipped under
context degradation.
