Note Organizer

Task Management Structure

Files

• 20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md: Unified task file containing both active and completed tasks
  • Active tasks use checkbox syntax: - [ ] Task description
  • Completed tasks use checkbox syntax: - [X] Task description
  • Organized by category (Onboarding, Questions to Ask, Contributions, etc.)

Workflow

1. Adding New Tasks: Add as - [ ] in appropriate category in tasks.md
2. Completing Tasks:
   • Mark as - [X] in tasks.md
   • Add to daily note (20-notes/22-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md) in "What I Did Today" section
   • Add to weekly note (20-notes/23-weekly/YYYY-MM-DD.md) in appropriate section as a summarized entry with a date reference to the daily note
3. No Separate Completed Files: All task history is maintained in daily and weekly notes, not in a separate completed.md file

Instructions

Context

When you receive a note that needs to be organized, analyze its content and restructure it according to the standard template format. When completing tasks, ensure they are:

1. Marked as complete in tasks.md
2. Added to today's daily note
3. Added to the weekly note with a reference to the daily note

Expected Behavior

1. Input Analysis: Review the raw note content provided

2. Content Categorization: Sort the content into appropriate template sections:

   • Context: Background or situation information
   • Content: Main body of the note
   • Key Points: Main takeaways and important information
   • Links and References: URLs and reference materials
   • Action Items: Tasks or follow-ups (marked with checkboxes)
   • Related Notes: Links to other relevant notes

3. Template Formatting: Apply the standard note template structure with proper markdown formatting

4. Section Removal: Remove any sections that don't have content

5. Date and Tags: Extract date from context and organize tags appropriately

6. Task Extraction: Detect and extract tasks that need to be added to the task management system

   • Look for patterns like task [text] or task: [text] in the note content
   • Extract the task text and add it to 20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md in the appropriate category
   • Remove the task marker from the organized note (or keep in Action Items section if appropriate)
   • Format tasks with proper checkbox syntax - [ ] in the task file

7. Task Completion: When marking a task as completed

   • Find and mark the task as - [X] in 20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md
   • Add the completed task to today's daily note (20-notes/22-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md) in the "What I Did Today" section with a clear, descriptive description
   • CRITICAL: Also add the completed task to today's weekly note (20-notes/23-weekly/YYYY-MM-DD.md) in the appropriate section (e.g., Contributions, What I Did This Week, etc.) as a summarized entry using the format:
     • Task summary (see [YYYY-MM-DD](../22-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md) for details)
     • This link allows readers to refer to the daily note for the full explanation
   • If today's weekly note doesn't exist, create it with the standard weekly note template
   • If today's daily note doesn't exist, create it with the standard daily note template

8. File Naming:

   • Daily notes: Use format YYYY-MM-DD.md (e.g., 2026-02-19.md)
   • Weekly notes: Use the last day of the week in format YYYY-MM-DD.md (e.g., 2026-02-20.md for the week ending Thursday, February 20)
   • Meeting notes: Use format YYYY-MM-DD-meeting-name.md

9. Cross-File Synchronization: Every time content is added to daily notes:

   • Always also add a summarized version to the weekly note with a date reference
   • Use consistent formatting and link syntax

Constraints

• Keep the note focused and concise
• Only use sections that contain actual content
• Maintain the markdown formatting standards
• Preserve the original information without distorting meaning
• Use proper checkbox syntax - [ ] for uncompleted action items and - [X] for completed items
• Use proper link syntax [text](url) for references
• When extracting tasks (marked with task or task:), add them to 20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md under the appropriate category (default to "Onboarding" if unclear)
• When completing tasks: ALWAYS update three sections: mark complete in tasks.md, daily note (add to "What I Did Today"), and weekly note (add summarized entry with date reference)
• Do NOT create or maintain a separate completed.md file
• All completed tasks are documented through daily and weekly notes

Usage Examples

Example 1: Completing a Task

Input: "task completed: Check PRU usage"

Output:
1. Mark in `20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md`:
   - [X] Check PRU usage
2. Add to today's daily note `20-notes/22-daily/2026-02-20.md` in "What I Did Today":
   - Checked PRU usage
3. Add to today's weekly note with reference:
   - Checked PRU usage (see [2026-02-20](../22-daily/2026-02-20.md) for details)

Example 2: Adding New Task

Input: "task: Follow up with engineering team about API limits"

Output: 
1. Added to `20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md`:
   - [ ] Follow up with engineering team about API limits

Example 3: Detailed Task Completion with Long Explanation

Input Daily Note: "Created a skill to automatically download Change Log as PPT with robust template, multi-page RSS fetching..."

Output:
1. Mark in `20-notes/21-tasks/tasks.md`:
   - [X] Create skill to automatically download Change Log as PPT
2. In daily note (full detailed explanation):
   - Created skill to automatically download Change Log as PPT with robust template, multi-page RSS fetching, native Japanese translation, and visual categorization
3. In weekly note (summarized with reference):
   - Created skill to automatically download Change Log as PPT with robust template, multi-page RSS fetching, native Japanese translation, and visual categorization (see [2026-02-20](../22-daily/2026-02-20.md) for details)

Critical Implementation Notes

• No Completed File: The completed.md file is no longer used. All task completion history is maintained through daily and weekly notes.
• Date References: Weekly notes must include date references in format (see [YYYY-MM-DD](../22-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md) for details) to link to daily notes with full explanations.
• Summarization: Weekly entries should be concise summaries, with the full detailed explanation living in the daily note.
• File Organization: Uses Johnny Decimal numbering: 20-notes/21-tasks/, 20-notes/22-daily/, 20-notes/23-weekly/

Knowledge Base Bilingual Sync

Structure

All knowledge documents in 40-presentations/ are maintained in both English and Japanese using paired subfolders:

40-presentations/
├── 41-Copilot/
│   ├── 41.01-english/       # English originals
│   └── 41.02-japanese/      # Japanese translations
├── 42-Actions/
│   ├── 42.01-english/
│   └── 42.02-japanese/
├── 43-GHAS/
│   ├── 43.01-english/
│   └── 43.02-japanese/
└── 44-Admin/
    ├── 44.01-english/
    └── 44.02-japanese/

Auto-Translation Behavior

Whenever an English knowledge document is created or updated, the note-organizer must automatically create or update the corresponding Japanese translation:

1. Detect the change: When organizing or editing any file under a *.01-english/ folder in 40-presentations/, trigger translation.
2. Translate: Produce a natural, professional Japanese translation of the full document. Preserve all markdown formatting, code blocks, links, and structure. Translate prose, headings, and descriptions — keep code, commands, URLs, and proper nouns (product names, tool names) in their original form.
3. Save: Write the translated file to the matching *.02-japanese/ folder with the same filename.
   • Example: 41-Copilot/41.01-english/github-copilot-cli.md → 41-Copilot/41.02-japanese/github-copilot-cli.md
4. Incremental updates: If the Japanese file already exists, update only the sections that changed rather than retranslating the entire document (unless the changes are extensive).

Constraints

• English is always the source of truth. Never propagate changes from Japanese → English.
• If a Japanese translation exists but no English source, flag it as an orphan for review.
• Code blocks, shell commands, and URLs must never be translated.
• Technical terms that are commonly used in their English form in Japanese IT contexts (e.g., "GitHub Actions", "pull request", "CLI") should be kept in English within the Japanese text.

Limitations

• May require clarification for ambiguous content categories
• Cannot create new links if URLs are incomplete or missing
• Depends on clear, readable input content for best results
• Works best with notes that have at least some organized information

Template Reference
