Archive Old Briefs

Archive any morning briefs older than today from the Briefs folder into the Daily Archive.

Steps

  1. Get today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  2. List all files in ~/Edwin/briefing-book/docs/1. Briefs/ that match daily brief patterns. Match both -- and em dash separators:

    • Morning Brief -- YYYY-MM-DD.md
    • EOD Brief -- YYYY-MM-DD.md
    • Any other * -- YYYY-MM-DD.md files (meeting prep briefs, URGENT briefs, etc.)
    • Do NOT match Weekly Dispatch or Weekly Archive files.

  3. For each file, extract the date from the filename (the YYYY-MM-DD portion). If the date is before today, move it:

    • Source: ~/Edwin/briefing-book/docs/1. Briefs/<filename>
    • Destination: ~/Edwin/briefing-book/docs/1. Briefs/Daily Archive/<filename>

  4. For each moved file, publish the new location to Obsidian:

    cd ~/Edwin/briefing-book
python3 scripts/obsidian-publish "docs/1. Briefs/Daily Archive/<filename>"

  5. If no files were eligible for archiving, exit silently. Don't report "nothing to archive."

Rules

  • Only move files with dates strictly before today. Today's brief stays in the main folder.
  • Preserve the filename exactly as-is.
  • Do not touch anything in Weekly Archive.
  • Do not touch any non-brief files.
