Manage tasks in an Obsidian TaskNotes vault. Use for creating, reading, updating, or completing tasks; checking what is open or in progress; adding items to a list; marking tasks done or in progress; updating task status or priority; investigating why a task is missing from a view or board; troubleshooting TaskNotes MCP or API connection issues; setting up or configuring TaskNotes; or running a schema diagnostic on task files. Routes automatically to the best available access method: MCP…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# TaskNotes
Multi-modal task management for Obsidian TaskNotes vaults. The skill probes the environment first and routes to the best available access method.

## Step 0 - Environment probe
**Run before any operation.** Determines which path to take.
**Bundled help:** This skill includes `references/tasknotes-help.md` with step-by-step setup instructions, full API endpoint reference, and troubleshooting for all failure modes. Read it yourself when connection or setup issues arise, and share the relevant sections with the user to guide them through fixes.
### 1. MCP available?
Run `tool_search("tasknotes")`. If `tasknotes:` tools load successfully, the MCP server is live.
If they do not load, do not conclude the server is down. Since plugin v4.13.0 the MCP endpoint requires a bearer token, and a client configured without one fails at connect time, so the tools never appear at all. Check 2 below - a `401` there means the server is running and the client is simply unauthenticated.
### 2. HTTP API available?
Attempt `web_fetch("http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/health")`. Three outcomes, and they mean different things:

How to install
mdr add vanillaflava/tasknotes-skill/tasknotes@sha256:5e0aa8fe04cbdf96The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
