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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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 install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inkeep/open-knowledge/note-taking@sha256:6d92e8b71445e890

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.adeb8b5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
