Notes and task conventions
Tasks Eye reads Markdown notes recursively from a configured vault folder, plus status frontmatter and Obsidian Tasks emoji metadata.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”Tasks Eye is deliberately not a separate database. Notes remain normal Markdown, status remains frontmatter, and task state remains in the Obsidian Tasks format.
That convention keeps the vault useful without the plugin and gives every view a small, predictable set of source data to read.
What to expect
Section titled “What to expect”- The notes folder is configurable and defaults to the vault root (
/). - Tasks Eye reads Markdown notes directly inside the configured folder and all descendants.
- A missing configured folder produces an explicit configuration error.
- Supported note statuses are
openandclosed. - Missing or blank status is treated as
open. - Tasks due dates and completion dates are read from Obsidian Tasks emoji metadata.
