Manage tasks in today's daily note at ~/obsidian/Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Usage

• /todo add [task description] - Add a new task to today's TODO section
• /todo complete [task description] - Mark a task as complete
• /todo list - View today's tasks
• /todo add-sub [parent task] > [sub-task] - Create a sub-task under a parent task

Instructions

1. Determine today's note file:

   • Path: ~/obsidian/Notes/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
   • If file doesn't exist, create it with header: # Journal YYYY-MM-DD

2. Find or create the TODO section:

   • Look for ## TODO section in the file
   • If missing, append ## TODO\n\n to the file

3. Task operations:

   • Add: Append task as - [ ] [task description] under ## TODO
   • Complete: Change - [ ] to - [x] for matching task
   • Add-sub: Nest sub-task under parent with 2-space indent: - [ ] [sub-task]
   • List: Display all tasks from ## TODO section

4. Format guidelines:

   • Use markdown checkbox syntax: - [ ] for incomplete, - [x] for complete
   • Indent sub-tasks with 2 spaces per level
   • Keep consistent formatting throughout

5. After operations:

   • Confirm the action taken
   • Show a preview of the TODO section
