# TaskNotes Skill

Manage Obsidian tasks via the TaskNotes plugin HTTP API.

## Requirements

1. **TaskNotes plugin** installed in Obsidian
2. **Enable HTTP API** in TaskNotes settings:
   - Open Obsidian Settings → TaskNotes
   - Enable "HTTP API" toggle
   - Set API port (default: 8080)
   - API token: leave empty for no auth, or set a token for security
3. **Environment variables** in `.env` file at vault root (if using auth):
   ```
   TASKNOTES_API_PORT=8080
   TASKNOTES_API_KEY=your_token_here
   ```
   If TaskNotes has no auth token set, you don't need a `.env` file.

## CLI Commands

```bash
# List all tasks
uv run scripts/tasks.py list

# List by status (use your configured status values)
uv run scripts/tasks.py list --status "in-progress"

# List by project
uv run scripts/tasks.py list --project "My Project"

# Create task
uv run scripts/tasks.py create "Task title" --project "My Project" --priority high

# Create task with scheduled time
uv run scripts/tasks.py create "Meeting prep" --scheduled "2025-01-15T14:00:00"

# Update task status
uv run scripts/tasks.py update "Tasks/task-file.md" --status done

# Add/update task description
uv run scripts/tasks.py update "Tasks/task-file.md" --details "Additional context here."

# Delete task
uv run scripts/tasks.py delete "Tasks/task-file.md"

# Get available options (statuses, priorities, projects)
uv run scripts/tasks.py options --table

# Human-readable output (add --table)
uv run scripts/tasks.py list --table
```

## Task Properties

**Status and Priority values:** Configured in your TaskNotes plugin settings. Run `options` command to see available values:
```bash
uv run scripts/tasks.py options --table
```
