At a glance

Create, update, delete, and list tasks via HTTP API. An agent skill from ArtemXTech/claude-code-obsidian-starter.

  • User wants to create tasks
  • SKILL.md covers API Endpoint, List Tasks, Create Task and Update Task, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls curl
  • Tasks that involve REST APIs

What it does

Tasknotes is an agent skill from ArtemXTech/claude-code-obsidian-starter. Create, update, delete, and list tasks via HTTP API. USE WHEN user wants to create tasks, mark done, update status, or manage tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: Free starter kit: Claude Code + Obsidian. Pre-configured vault with skills for projects, tasks, clients, and daily routines. Just open and go.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to create tasks
  • Tasks that involve REST APIs

Example prompts

  • “/tasknotes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3fc012. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Tasknotes loads about 509 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~509

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 67 words (~509 tokens).

“CRUD operations on tasks via TaskNotes plugin HTTP API.”
