Initialize Obsidian PM

Sets up project management integration between code repository and Obsidian vault.

Steps

1. Get configuration:

• Ask user for Obsidian vault path (if not in $ARGUMENTS)
• Ask user for project name (if not in $ARGUMENTS)

1. Validate vault path:

• Check that directory exists
• Warn if path doesn't look like an Obsidian vault

1. Create configuration file: .claude/pm-config.json

``json { "obsidian_vault": "<vault-path>", "project_path": "projects/<project-name>", "task_dir": "tasks", "changelog_file": "changelog.md", "task_prefix": "TASK", "auto_mode": false } ``

1. Create Obsidian directories:

``bash mkdir -p {vault}/{project_path}/tasks/ ``

1. Create README.md: Use template from templates/readme-template.md

• Explains project structure
• Links to conventions
• Usage instructions

1. Create changelog.md: Use template from templates/changelog-template.md

• Frontmatter with metadata
• Section divider
• Initial entry

1. Copy task template: Ensure templates/task-template.md is accessible for future task creation

1. Next steps: Suggest running:

``bash /pm-new-task <description> ``

Conventions

These conventions are enforced throughout the plugin:

Task IDs

• Format: TASK-001 (zero-padded 3 digits)
• Files: TASK-001-short-description.md
• Sequential numbering

Git Integration

• Branches: feat/TASK-001-short-desc, fix/TASK-002-bug-desc
• Commits: feat(TASK-001): description, fix(TASK-002): description
• Tag extraction: Plugin parses both branch names and commit messages

Status Flow

🎯 longTerm → 📋 backlog → ⭕ to-do → ⏳ in-progress → ✅ completed
                                              ↓
                                        ⏸️ pending → ⏳ in-progress
                                              ↓
                                        ❌ cancelled

• New tasks default to ⭕ to-do
• First commit triggers ⏳ in-progress
• All criteria checked triggers ✅ completed

Language

• All task content in English
• Consistent terminology
• Professional technical writing
