The Body
After the YAML, write the instructions in plain markdown. There’s no special syntax — just clear writing.
Structure your skill body around:
- What this skill does — one sentence, no hedging
- When to use it — the conditions that call for this skill specifically
- The process — numbered steps, in the order Claude should follow them
- The output — what gets produced, in what format
For log-to-daily, the body looks roughly like this:
## Purpose
Write a structured daily note entry capturing what happened this session.
## Process
1. Identify today's date and construct the note path
2. Determine what happened — key decisions, output produced, problems solved
3. Format as a structured entry under the appropriate heading
4. Append to the daily note without disturbing existing content
5. Confirm what was written
