obsidian-kanban

obsidian-kanban is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arch3rPro/ark-space. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,821 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating and maintaining Kanban boards in Obsidian, a note-taking application that stores content as Markdown files. It supports task cards, linked notes, tags, dates, priorities, and subtasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture tasks, organize work into lists, upgrade complex tasks into linked notes, and maintain a GTD-style workflow in Obsidian.
Why use it?
It keeps task boards durable and organized instead of treating them as temporary lists, while preserving the board's existing structure.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian-kanban scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Obsidian Kanban

Overview

Create and maintain Obsidian Kanban boards as durable task systems rather than one-off lists. Default to a mixed task model: capture simple work as lightweight cards, then upgrade complex work into linked notes when the task needs more context, history, or attachments. For GTD boards, prefer trusted list semantics over generic priority queues: the board should clarify what the task is, where it belongs, and what the next visible action is.

Workflow

  1. Identify the target board file and read the current structure before editing.
  2. Preserve the existing board frontmatter, list names, archive separator, and kanban:settings block unless the user asks for structural changes.
  3. Decide whether each task should remain a lightweight card or be upgraded to a linked note.
  4. Apply the task conventions below consistently so future edits remain predictable.
  5. Validate the board after editing: headings still align with lists, cards still sit under the intended list, indentation remains valid Markdown, and the settings block is still intact.

Task Model

Lightweight card

Use a lightweight card when the task is actionable without extra documentation. Prefer this shape:

- [ ] Prepare quarterly planning draft @{2026-05-02} @@{09:00} #planning #work
  - [ ] Pull current metrics
  - [ ] Draft agenda

Use this model for fast capture, inbox triage, and routine task maintenance. Treat priority as optional rather than foundational. In GTD boards, contexts and list placement should carry most of the organizational load. Do not invent tags: or due: pseudo-fields. Prefer inline hashtags and the board's configured date/time triggers, which default to @{date} and @@{time}. If the user wants visible priority that does not live in the title, do not fake it with extra card-body lines. The plugin renders those as ordinary body text. Upgrade the task to a linked note and surface priority through linked page metadata instead.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
