Quick Task (Checkbox)

Add a task checkbox to a project or area's ## Next Actions section. No separate file created.

Use when: Quick capture, simple tasks that don't need rich metadata.

Use /para:task instead when: You need due dates, priorities, dependencies, or Dataview queries.

Arguments

• $1 - Task title (required)
• $2 - Project or area name (required)

Examples:

/para:task-quick "Book flights" "2025 Tassie Holiday"
/para:task-quick "Setup SDK wrapper" "Firecrawl Plugin Optimization"
/para:task-quick "Schedule dentist" "Health"

Process

1. Parse Arguments

• $1 = Task title
• $2 = Project or area name

If either missing, ask the user.

2. Find the Note

Check both locations:

1. 01_Projects/$2.md or 01_Projects/$2/$2.md
2. 02_Areas/$2.md or 02_Areas/$2/$2.md

If not found, list available projects/areas and ask.

3. Append Checkbox

Use mcp__MCP_DOCKER__obsidian_patch_content:

filepath: [found path]
operation: append
target_type: heading
target: "Next Actions"
content: "\n- [ ] $1"

If ## Next Actions doesn't exist, append to end of file:

## Next Actions

- [ ] $1

4. Confirm

Added to [[Project/Area]]:
- [ ] Task title
