--- name: obsidian-tasks description: Set up and manage an Obsidian task board with Kanban + Dataview. Creates a Tasks/Board.md pipeline (Backlog/Todo/In Progress/Review/Done), per-task notes with YAML frontmatter (status/priority/category/due), and dashboards via Dataview queries. Use for task tracking, moving cards between columns, keeping board + frontmatter in sync, and linking tasks to supporting notes/research. --- # obsidian-tasks Task management in Obsidian vaults using Kanban boards, Dataview dashboards, and structured task notes. ## Setup Run the setup script to initialize a task board in an Obsidian vault: ```bash python3 scripts/setup.py <vault-path> [--folder <name>] [--columns <col1,col2,...>] ``` - `vault-path`: Path to the Obsidian vault root - `--folder`: Subfolder to create (default: `Tasks`) - `--columns`: Kanban columns (default: `Backlog,Todo,In Progress,Review,Done`) This creates: - `<folder>/Board.md` - Kanban board (requires Kanban community plugin) - `<folder>/Dashboard.md` - Dataview dashboard (requires Dataview community plugin) Tell the user to install **Kanban** and **Dataview** community plugins if not already installed. ## Task Note Format Each task is a separate markdown file with YAML frontmatter: ```markdown --- status: todo priority: P1 category: revenue created: 2026-02-03 due: 2026-02-07 --- # Task Title Description and notes here. ## References - [[linked-document|Display Name]] ## Status - [x] Step completed - [ ] Step pending ``` ### Frontmatter Fields | Field | Values | Required | |-------|--------|----------| | status | backlog, todo, in-progress, review, done | yes | | priority | P1, P2, P3 | yes | | category | free text (revenue, content, research, setup, project) | yes | | created | YYYY-MM-DD | yes | | due | YYYY-MM-DD | no | | parked_until | YYYY-MM-DD | no | ### Priority Labels on Board Use emoji prefixes on the Kanban board for visual priority: - 🔴 P1 (urgent) - 🟡 P2 (normal) - 🟢 P3 (backlog/parked) ## Managing Tasks ### Create a Task 1. Create a markdown file in the tasks folder with frontmatter 2. Add a card to Board.md in the appropriate column: ``` - [ ] [[Task Name]] 🔴 P1 @{2026-02-07} ``` ### Move a Task 1. Update `status` in the task note's frontmatter 2. Move the card line in Board.md to the target column ### Complete a Task 1. Set `status: done` in frontmatter 2. Move to Done column and mark checkbox: ``` - [x] [[Task Name]] ✅ 2026-02-03 ``` ### Always update both Board.md AND the task note frontmatter to keep them in sync. ## Linking Documents Use Obsidian `[[wikilinks]]` to connect tasks to supporting documents: ```markdown ## References - [[2026-02-03-research-report|Research Report]] - [[meeting-notes-jan|Meeting Notes]] ``` Store referenced documents in a sibling folder (e.g., `Research/` next to `Tasks/`). ## Dashboard Queries The setup script creates a Dataview dashboard. Core queries: **Tasks by priority:** ```dataview TABLE status, category, due FROM "<tasks-folder>" WHERE priority = "P1" AND status != "done" SORT due ASC ``` **Overdue tasks:** ```dataview TABLE priority, category FROM "<tasks-folder>" WHERE due AND due < date(today) AND status != "done" SORT due ASC ``` **Recently completed:** ```dataview TABLE category FROM "<tasks-folder>" WHERE status = "done" SORT file.mtime DESC LIMIT 10 ```
