Daily Report

Daily Report

An Obsidian plugin that extends the native Daily Notes plugin with:

• Dynamic directory paths - Generate daily note folders using Luxon date formats
• Template rendering - Use templates with date placeholders
• Task carry-over - Automatically carry over incomplete tasks from yesterday
• Section-level confirmation - Confirm whether requirements are closed even when all tasks are done

Installation

1. Copy the obsidian-daily-report folder to your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory
2. Enable the plugin in Obsidian (Settings > Third-party plugins > Community plugins > Enable Daily Report)
3. Configure the plugin settings (directory format, filename format, template path)

Configuration

Daily Path Format

Uses Luxon date format strings with / to separate directory levels:

YYYY/MM/[W]WW/MMDD

Example: 2026/09/[W]39/0922 → creates 2026/09/第39周/0922.md

Common formats:

• YYYY - 4-digit year
• MM - Month (01-12)
• DD - Day (01-31)
• WW - Week number (01-53)
• GGGG - ISO year
• cccc - Weekday name (Monday, Tuesday...)
• [text] - Literal text in square brackets

Template Path

Path to the template file in your vault, e.g.:

Templates/Daily Report.md

Date Placeholders

Templates support three date placeholder formats:

Options

• Confirm before create - Show confirmation modal before creating daily note
• Delete completed tasks - Remove completed tasks (- [x]) from yesterday's note when carrying over

Template Structure

The plugin uses a hierarchical template structure:

## Fixed Section (template, daily)
  ### Specific Requirement (may carry over)
    #### Sub-task/Item (clear boundary)
      - Content...
      - [ ] Optional task marker

Section Levels

Status Markers

Mark section status with HTML comments or strikethrough:

Note: Strikethrough (~~title~~) can only represent "done", not "cancelled". Use HTML comment for cancelled.

Auto-completion

If all #### sub-tasks under a ### requirement are completed, the requirement is automatically marked as done and not carried over.

Usage

Create Today's Daily Report

1. Open command palette (Ctrl/Cmd+P)
2. Type "Create today's daily report"
3. Press Enter

Workflow

Create Today's Daily Report
  │
  ├─ Read template → Render date placeholders → Generate today's note
  │
  ├─ Read yesterday's note
  │    │
  │    ├─ Parse sections and sub-tasks
  │    │
  │    └─ Check section status
  │         │
  │         ├─ All #### done → Auto-mark as done, skip
  │         ├─ Has pending #### → Ask user for confirmation
  │         ├─ Already done/cancelled → Skip
  │         └─ Show confirmation modal
  │
  ├─ Apply status decisions to yesterday's note
  │
  ├─ Carry over pending sections to today's note
  │
  └─ Save and open today's note

Carry-over Rules

1. Sections with done or cancelled status: Not carried over
2. Sections with pending or verifying status:
   • All #### sub-tasks completed → Auto-mark as done, not carried over
   • Has incomplete #### sub-tasks → Carried over
3. Section matching:
   • If today's template has matching section: Insert under that section
   • If no matching section: Append to end of note
