TaskNotes capture, context routing, vault command cockpit, and attachment cleanup tools for Obsidian.
Context Nine is desktop-only. Vault Command Center and background sync commands use local Node.js process APIs.
Features
- Capture selected Markdown into a new TaskNotes task.
- Append selected Markdown to an existing TaskNotes task under
## Captures. - Route attachment links from captured selections into destination context folders.
- Route pasted or dropped inbox attachments from
master/_obsidian/attachments/_inbox. - Move TaskNotes files when context fields change.
- Add file delete actions for file explorer items, Bases kanban cards, and TaskNotes edit modals where possible.
- Open a right-sidebar Vault Command Center for common
vaultterminal commands.
Commands
| Command | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Capture selection to new TaskNotes task | Opens TaskNotes create dialog. If Markdown is selected, injects selection into task details on save, routes selected attachments, then deletes source selection after success. |
| Append selection to existing TaskNotes task | Opens a task picker, appends selected block under ## Captures, routes selected attachments, then deletes source selection after success. |
| Route inbox attachments for active note | Moves queued inbox attachments into active note context. |
| Route TaskNotes files by context | Moves TaskNotes files to folders matching their context metadata. |
| Delete hovered or selected file | Uses Obsidian delete confirmation and trash behavior. |
| New note in hovered folder | Creates Untitled.md in hovered file-explorer folder, falling back to Obsidian new note behavior. |
| Open vault command center | Opens command runner panel in right sidebar. |
Vault Command Center
Vault Command Center shows local command output in the right sidebar and keeps a Git Commit action close at hand. Day-to-day vault commands live in the Obsidian command palette and are loaded from the vault command metadata file.
Output streams live into the panel with stdout, stderr, status, exit code, and timestamps visible after completion.
