Who it is forA project manager or solo worker who keeps tasks inside project notes and wants one page that shows what is still open.
The problemTasks sit in many project notes, so no single page shows what is open across the whole vault.
The outcomeA home-page note with a live TASK query that lists matching checkboxes from across the vault, where completing an item updates the source note.
What you need first
- A Windows PC for the installer path described in the README, or macOS or Linux per the README's platform claims
- A folder on disk chosen as the vault (existing or new)
- For the agent use case: a compatible AI tool that can connect to a local MCP server
Steps
- Create a new note and name it for your dashboard, such as Home.
- Add a TASK query block that matches the status or area metadata you use in project notes.
- Add a TABLE query block to list project notes by a frontmatter field, such as status.
- Choose the note as the vault home page in the app's settings.
- Complete one task inside the query result and open its source note to confirm the checkbox changed there.
Prompt for your agent
In the Aquilum vault at <vault-path>, create a home note named Dashboard.md with one live TASK query and one TABLE query that filters on a frontmatter field named <field-name>. Output the full Markdown of the note. Verify by completing one task from the query and confirming the source note file changed.
Caveat. The README describes TASK, LIST and TABLE queries but does not list their exact query syntax, so copy the syntax from the app's own examples.
