pm

pm — Obsidian Project Management

Run the obsidian CLI directly — no sub-agent. Before any CLI call, invoke the obsidian:obsidian-cli skill to load exact syntax — never run obsidian help/--help to discover it. This skill owns only the PM conventions: folder layout, template names, property schema, and dashboard generation.

CLI gotcha: file= resolves like a wikilink — bare note name only, no path, no .md. Use path= for vault-root-relative paths. If a command returns File not found after a create, fix the parameter — never re-run create (it makes name 1.md duplicates).

property:set gotcha: one property per call, no batch form. Pass type=list for tags, type=date for due/completed — omit type= and it's stored as plain text.

Config (.obsidian.yaml)

vault: <VAULT_NAME>
pm:
  project: <PROJECT_NAME>

Missing config or pm.project → tell the user to run /obw:init and stop. Never guess the vault.

Vault Layout

pm/
├── {project}/
│   ├── dashboard.base   # project dashboard
│   ├── tasks/           # active tasks
│   │   └── archive/     # completed tasks
│   └── docs/            # docs
└── dashboard.base       # cross-project dashboard (optional)

Every project has all three: tasks/, docs/, dashboard.base. /obw:init bootstraps them. If a pm operation finds pm/{project}/dashboard.base missing, regenerate it (see Dashboards) before reporting done.

Beyond that, folders are created on demand — create / move auto-create missing parent folders. No mkdir needed.

Filenames

Kebab-case, always: lowercase, whitespace and punctuation → -, collapse repeats, Unicode characters kept intact. Same rule as /obw:jot note mode.

The human-readable title is not derivable from the filename, so it lives in the title property. Obsidian's {{title}} resolves to the filename, so the H1 stays kebab — title is what dashboards display.
