What this skill does
# Obsidian Task Management ## When to Use This Skill | Use this skill when... | Use the alternative instead when... | |---|---| | Listing open `- [ ]` tasks across the vault, creating tasks, or marking tasks complete | Editing arbitrary note content rather than checklist lines — use `vault-files` | | Filing a task on a daily note via the running Obsidian CLI | Tracking work in `taskwarrior` outside Obsidian — use a `taskwarrior-plugin` skill | | Verifying which tasks Obsidian itself indexes as open | Searching for arbitrary text patterns including non-task content — use `search-discovery` | List, create, and complete tasks across the Obsidian vault using the official CLI. ## Prerequisites - Obsidian desktop v1.12.4+ with CLI enabled - Obsidian must be running ## When to Use Use this skill automatically when: - User wants to list open tasks from their vault - User needs to create new tasks in notes - User wants to mark tasks as complete - User asks about todos or checklists in Obsidian ## Core Operations ### List Tasks ```bash # All open tasks across vault obsidian tasks # JSON output for parsing obsidian tasks format=json ``` ### Create a Task ```bash # Create a new task obsidian task:create content="Review PR #42" # Create task in specific note obsidian task:create content="Update documentation" file="Sprint Tasks" ``` ### Complete a Task ```bash # Mark task as done by ID obsidian task:complete task=task-id ``` ## Workflow Patterns ### Daily Task Capture ```bash # Add task to today's daily note obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] New task from CLI" # Or use task:create obsidian task:create content="Follow up on meeting action items" ``` ### Task Review ```bash # List all open tasks, pipe to grep for filtering obsidian tasks format=json ``` ## Agentic Optimizations | Context | Command | |---------|---------| | List tasks (structured) | `obsidian tasks format=json` | | Create task | `obsidian task:create content="text"` | | Complete task | `obsidian task:complete task=ID` | | Quick capture to daily | `obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] task"` | ## Related Skills - **vault-files** — Append tasks to specific notes - **search-discovery** — Find notes containing tasks
