↻ Runs by itselfevery evening

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after the notes changed today, at most 50 per run.

  1. 01

    Find changed notes

    List the .md files in the vault changed since the last run.

  2. 02

    Check frontmatter

    Make sure each note has properties such as title, tags and aliases at the top.

  3. 03

    Check links

    Use wikilinks for vault notes and Markdown links only for external URLs.

  4. 04

    Check syntax

    Check embeds, callouts with > [!type], block IDs and tags against the skill's syntax.

  5. 05

    Log the rest

    Write notes that still need a fix to the run log, to verify in reading view.
