Open Knowledge Pack Plain Notes

inkeep/open-knowledge-pack-plain-notes

How to work in a Plain Notes project (the `plain-notes` starter pack): a flat notes/ folder plus a daily/ journal. The 'I just want to write' layout. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to jot a note, capture a quick thought, or write today's journal entry. Carries the linking habit and daily-entry behavior so templates and folder descriptions stay minimal. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Plain Notes pack — how to work here

The lightest pack: no posture imposed, just write and link.

> This skill is pack guidance. The platform open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the notes habit on top.

Folders

  • notes/ — one file per topic, flat. Promote a note into a more structured layout later if you outgrow this.
  • daily/ — one journal entry per day (YYYY-MM-DD.md): morning intentions, capture through the day, evening reflection.

Agent behaviors

  • Link liberally. The value of this pack is the graph that emerges from links — when a note or entry mentions something worth its own page, link it (stub the page if it doesn't exist yet). OK's link graph builds itself from those edges.
  • Daily entries: on the first entry of a day, link to yesterday's entry (its own dated file, e.g. 2026-07-08.md) and pre-fill the date, so the linear journal is also a navigable graph.
  • The mood, top3, and gratitude frontmatter fields on daily entries let you look back across days; fill them when journaling.

Templates

note and daily carry only structure; write freely.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take inkeep/open-knowledge-pack-plain-notes from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
