Manage tasks in Obsidian via TaskNotes plugin API. An agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace.

  • Works in 3 steps: TaskNotes plugin installed in Obsidian → Enable HTTP API in TaskNotes settings → Environment variables in .env file at…
  • User wants to create tasks
  • SKILL.md covers Requirements, CLI Commands, Task Properties and API Reference, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv; needs TASKNOTES_API_KEY

What it does

Tasknotes is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Manage tasks in Obsidian via TaskNotes plugin API. Use when user wants to create tasks, list tasks, query by status or project, update task status, delete tasks, or check what they need to do.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/tasks.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to create tasks
  • Query by status
  • Update task status
  • Check what they need to do

Example prompts

  • “/tasknotes”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in TASKNOTES_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. TaskNotes plugin installed in Obsidian
  2. Enable HTTP API in TaskNotes settings
  3. Environment variables in .env file at vault root (if using auth)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TASKNOTES_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tasknotes loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:18
    3. **Environment variables** in `.env` file at vault root (if using auth):
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:23
    has no auth token set, you don't need a `.env` file.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 250 words (~903 tokens).

“Manage Obsidian tasks via the TaskNotes plugin HTTP API.”
