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.
