Obsidian Tasks
This project is an Obsidian task management plugin and knowledge base task aggregator. It functions as a markdown task tracker that gathers scattered to-do items and checklists from across multiple documents into centralized, organized lists.
The system utilizes a declarative query language and plain-text metadata parsing to filter, group, and sort tasks based on custom criteria. It includes specific capabilities for recurring task scheduling, allowing checkboxes to automatically update due dates upon completion.
The plugin performs vault-wide indexing to aggregate tasks from multiple files into a single view. This process involves client-side data processing to reconcile dynamic views and organize results using custom sort and group logic.
