SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Action items get scattered across meeting notes, decision records, daily notes, and 1-1 follow-ups, making it impossible to see everything you owe in one place. This Skill collects every open action you own into a single TODO.md and keeps checkboxes synchronized both ways with the source notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Vault-wide collection: Scans meetings, decisions, daily notes, people notes, projects, and braindumps for checkbox action lines you own. - Two-way checkbox sync: Stable block-ID anchors link each TODO.md entry to its source line, so checking a box in either place updates the other with a dated completion stamp. - Due-date bucketing and triage: Groups actions into Overdue, Today, Upcoming, Scheduled, No date, Waiting on others, and Done sections, with optional priority and staleness flags. - Use Case: After a week of meetings and decisions, ask for a task roundup to get one refreshed TODO.md showing 2 overdue items, 3 due today, and 5 things you're waiting on from others. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to run a task roundup and show everything on your plate consolidated into TODO.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about task-roundup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I consolidate tasks scattered across multiple Markdown notes?▼

Run a task roundup to scan meetings, decisions, daily notes, people notes, projects, and inbox notes for checkbox lines you own. The Skill collects them into a single TODO.md at the vault root, grouped by due date, with links back to each source line.

How does two-way checkbox sync work between notes?▼

Each action line gets a stable block-ID anchor like ^t-ab12cd that links the TODO.md entry to its source line. Checking a box in TODO.md marks the source done with a dated stamp, and completions in source notes flow back into TODO.md on the next roundup.

Does task roundup work with Obsidian vaults?▼

Yes, it is designed for Obsidian-style Markdown vaults using wikilinks and block-ID anchors. It reads standard checkbox lines (- [ ] / - [x]) and writes a TODO.md that renders as an ordinary note in Obsidian.

What happens if a source note line is deleted?▼

The TODO.md item is not silently dropped. It gets flagged with a warning marker indicating the source was removed, and the Skill asks for confirmation before deleting the entry, preserving your task history.

Can I track tasks I am waiting on from other people?▼

Yes, actions owned by others that block you go into a separate Waiting on others section of TODO.md. Items owned by others that do not block you are ignored, keeping your list focused on your own work.
