daybook-posting	Use when you have produced a finished deliverable such as a report, summary, brief, diagram, generated HTML, PDF, deck, or status update that a human should review later outside this chat. Publishes the artifact to Daybook and returns a URL.

Daybook Posting

Daybook is a private artifact journal for completed agent outputs. It stores, indexes, and displays artifacts for human review. It does not execute commands, run workflows, or continue conversations.

Always use the helper script. Do not hand-build curl, JSON, PowerShell multipart, or inline shell content.

From the project root:

python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py --check
python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py --kind markdown --title "Build Report" --content-file report.md
cat report.md | python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py --kind markdown --title "Build Report"
python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py --file diagram.svg --title "Architecture Diagram"

The project also keeps a compatibility wrapper at scripts/daybook_post.py, but the canonical helper is bundled inside this skill.

The artifact URL is printed as the final stdout line.

Configuration

Use environment variables:

DAYBOOK_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8001
DAYBOOK_TOKEN=your-personal-api-token
DAYBOOK_SOURCE=agent

DAYBOOK_TOKEN is your personal per-user API token, from Settings → Account in the app (not a token shared by everyone). Artifacts posted with your token land only in your feed.

Kind Cheat Sheet

Kind	Use for	Content shape
markdown	Reports, briefs, notes	Markdown text.
html_fragment	Themed HTML reports/cards/tables	Body-only HTML. No html/head/body.
html_full	Complete custom pages/frameworks	Full HTML document with doctype/html/head/body.
deck	Simple slide-like artifact	Top-level <section>...</section> blocks.

For images, PDFs, SVGs, and other files, use --file; the helper infers multipart and content type.

Images Inside Content

To embed an image within a markdown or HTML artifact (rather than posting it as its own artifact), upload it first and reference the returned URL:

# 1. Upload -> prints the URL as the last line
python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py --upload-image chart.png

# 2. Reference that URL in your markdown, then post as usual
#    ![chart](http://127.0.0.1:8001/assets/ab12cd34ef56)
python skills/daybook-posting/scripts/daybook_post.py report.md

The image is linked to the artifact that references it and is deleted along with it. Unreferenced uploads are cleaned up after 24 hours.

For CSV, JSON, or code that should render today, use --file path --as-markdown to post it as a Markdown fenced code block. Without --as-markdown, these upload as downloadable binary files.

Rules

• Run --check first if unsure Daybook is reachable.
• Use a stable DAYBOOK_SOURCE or pass --source (the agent-profile, script, or person name that produced this artifact).
• Use --tags a,b,c for filtering.
• Use --meta run_id=... --meta model=... for machine-readable context.
• Never inline multiline content into the shell command; use a file or stdin.
