Task Aggregator & Calendar

Manage checklists across all your notes in a unified task manager and calendar view.

Creating Tasks

Add checklists inside any note using standard markdown:

```markdown

  • [ ] Task description with #tag due:2026-07-20

```

The note is the task's source context. The Tasks page shows the source note and nearest heading so a checklist item remains visibly connected to the project, meeting, or area of work that produced it.

Adding Subtasks

Indent a checklist item beneath another task using ordinary portable Markdown:

```markdown

Release work

  • [ ] Ship version 1.0 [[Release plan]] ^basalt-task-01jtaskparent

- [ ] Verify [billing ticket](https://example.com/ticket/42) #release due:2026-08-20 ^basalt-task-01jtaskbilling

- [ ] Publish release notes ^basalt-task-01jtasknotes

```

You can also choose Add subtask on any item in the Tasks page. Phasoric writes the new item into the parent task's Markdown subtree. Completing a parent does not silently complete its children, and deleting a parent keeps its subtasks by moving them up one level.

Connecting Tasks to Knowledge

  • Put a task in the note that owns the work; its source note and section are always visible on the task board.
  • Add [[WikiLinks]] in a task to show related plans, decisions, people, or research as clickable context.
  • Add ordinary Markdown links to connect external tickets, documents, or other entities.
  • Tasks created by Phasoric receive a namespaced ^basalt-task-... block ID. The syntax is a readable, Obsidian-compatible Markdown block reference; it gives parent/root relationships stable identities when lines move.
  • Existing unmarked checklists remain supported with derived IDs. Choose Make portable on the Tasks page to add stable IDs to the tasks in that source note without changing their text, hierarchy, completion, dates, or tags.
  • Phasoric projects versioned basalt.task semantic records locally from the Markdown: identity, parent/root, source note, one-based source line, heading path, and bounded linked entities. This is the task relationship convention, not a claim that every future Blueprint or typed schema is complete.

Using the Task Manager & Calendar

1. Go to the Tasks page to view all scanned checklists with their hierarchy and source context.

2. Click checkmarks to complete tasks (which automatically updates the raw markdown checklist inside the note file).

3. Go to the Calendar page to see tasks plotted on a monthly calendar alongside your scheduled entries.

4. In Quarries, choose Task rows to filter, group, calculate, and render the same tasks as Table, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, Map-compatible, or Dashboard views.
