Summary

  • Adds daily note linking to /second-brain:insight and /second-brain:distill-conversation
  • When notes are captured, they're now linked back to today's daily note in the ## Links section
  • Creates a reference for "what did I capture today?"

Changes

  • New: references/daily-linking.md - shared algorithm for linking to daily notes
  • Updated: insight.md - adds Step 8 for daily note linking after capture/routing
  • Updated: distill-conversation.md - adds Step 7 for batch linking multiple captures
  • Updated: Both commands now have Edit permission for appending to daily notes
  • Version: Bumped second-brain from 1.2.0 → 1.3.0

How it works

After capturing a note to inbox (and optionally routing it):

  1. Find today's daily note from vault config
  2. Append wiki-link + description to ## Links section
  3. Confirm or skip silently if daily note doesn't exist

Example daily note after capture:

## Links

- [[202602051430 redis-session-caching]] - Redis vs Memcached for session storage
- [[202602051445 golf-green-prompting-metaphor]] - Prompting as miniature golf geography

Test plan

  • Run /second-brain:insight and verify link appears in daily note
  • Run /second-brain:distill-conversation with multiple insights and verify batch linking
  • Test when daily note doesn't exist (should skip silently)
  • Test when ## Links section doesn't exist (should create it)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

When capturing insights via /insight or /distill-conversation, the new
notes are now linked back to today's daily note in the ## Links section.
This creates a trail of "what was captured today" for easy reference.

Changes:
- Add references/daily-linking.md with shared linking algorithm
- Add Step 8 to insight.md for daily note linking
- Add Step 7 to distill-conversation.md for batch linking
- Add Edit permission to both commands for appending to daily note
- Update SKILL.md to reference new daily-linking.md
