Context Nine

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 vault terminal 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 runs the local vault command dispatcher without leaving Obsidian. Default buttons include refresh, sync, context, content schedules, attachment dry run/apply, and profile sync.

Normal click runs a command directly. Cmd+Click opens an arguments modal and appends parsed arguments to the base command. Output streams live into the panel with stdout, stderr, status, exit code, and timestamps visible after completion.
