 "title": "Start a nightly journal with Compass daily questions",
 "page_title": "How to start a nightly journal with Compass daily questions with Compass",
 "summary": "Answer ten daily questions and write one journal line each night in an Obsidian vault.",
 "who": "A person who wants a simple nightly reflection habit and has never set up a personal knowledge system.",
 "problem": "Most journaling habits die because the setup is too heavy. Starting with one short nightly routine is hard without a clear template.",
 "outcome": "A working Compass vault with today's daily note, scored answers to the daily questions, and one journal line saved.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the zip from Releases, or clone the repository. The repository root is the vault.",
  "Open the folder in Obsidian using Open folder as vault.",
  "When asked about Restricted mode, click Turn off, then run the command Reload app without saving.",
  "Open 00 Dashboards/Setup.md and follow its checklist.",
  "Press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+D to open today's note, then Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Q to ask the questions. Answer 1 to 10 and write one line under ## Journal."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Compass vault at <vault path>, read AGENTS.md and Meta/Compass Config.md, then list the daily question properties (dq_*) and the habit properties (habit_*). Expected output: a short list of the questions and habits, with the folder where today's Daily note is stored. Verify that the lists match the questions in Meta/Compass Config.md.",
 "agents": [

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says notes tagged example are seed data, so delete them as the Setup checklist asks before you rely on the dashboards.",

  "Obsidian 1.13.1 or newer",
  "The Compass zip from Releases, or a clone of the repository",

  "For the agent use cases: a local agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI"
