What are the available slash commands?

The skill provides `/tdn:today` to quickly view actionable tasks for the current day and `/tdn:prime` to load your full task context into the current Claude session.

What is the tdn system?

tdn is a file-based task management system where tasks, projects, and areas are stored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter, allowing for local-first, human-readable productivity tracking.

How does this differ from standard project management tools?

Unlike heavy SaaS tools, this system is local-first, markdown-based, and designed specifically for CLI-driven workflows and AI assistance, following proven methodologies like GTD and PARA.

Can I use this with Obsidian?

Absolutely. tdn is compatible with Obsidian vaults. If your task files are located within an Obsidian directory, Claude can utilize Obsidian-specific patterns like wikilinks and templates.

Does this skill require the tdn CLI?

Yes, this skill acts as an interface for the tdn CLI. You must have the tdn tool installed and configured on your system for Claude to manage your tasks.
