tasknotes is agent-read markdown (skill) from vanillaflava/tasknotes-skill: 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 server,.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

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

**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@v4.3mdr add vanillaflava/tasknotes-skill/tasknotes@sha256:0b59a40d4bba7c46Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
