# Tasks: Obsidian MCP Bundle
|
|
|
|
**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/001-obsidian-mcp-bundle/`
|
|
**Prerequisites**: plan.md (required), spec.md (required for user stories), research.md, data-model.md, contracts/
|
|
|
|
**Tests**: This project does NOT explicitly request TDD. Tests are NOT included in the task breakdown below.
|
|
|
|
**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story to enable independent implementation and testing of each story.
|
|
|
|
## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
|
|
|
|
- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
|
|
- **[Story]**: Which user story this task belongs to (e.g., US1, US2, US3, US4, US5)
|
|
- Include exact file paths in descriptions
|
|
|
|
## Path Conventions
|
|
|
|
- **MCP Bundle project**: All paths at repository root (obsidian-mcp/)
|
|
- Source code in `src/`, tests in `tests/`, bundle config at root
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [X] T019a [P] Create timeout configuration in src/config/timeouts.ts (default 30s, per-command overrides map)
|
|
- [X] T020 [P] Create CLI output parser in src/cli/parser.ts (JSON/TSV/CSV/text format support)
|
|
- [X] T021 Create Zod validation schemas in src/validation/schemas.ts (common parameter patterns)

|
|
- [X] T028 [P] Add graceful shutdown handling in src/index.ts (EOF, exit notification, cleanup)
|
|
|
|
**Checkpoint**: Foundation ready - user story implementation can now begin in parallel

|
|
|
|

|
|
- [ ] T164 [P] Security audit of input validation and error messages
|
|
- [ ] T165 Final manifest.json review for MCPB spec v0.3 compliance

## Dependencies & Execution Order
|
|
|
|
### Phase Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
|
|
- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
|
|
- **User Stories (Phase 3-5)**: All depend on Foundational phase completion
|
|
- User stories can then proceed in parallel (if staffed)
|
|
- Or sequentially in priority order (P1 → P2 → P3)
|
|
- **Polish (Phase 6)**: Depends on all desired user stories being complete
|
|
|
|
### User Story Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- **User Story 1 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
|
|
- **User Story 2 (P2)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - Independent of US1 but builds on same CLI infrastructure
|
|
- **User Story 3 (P3)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - Independent of US1/US2
|
|
|
|
### Within Each User Story
|
|
|
|
- Tools marked [P] can be implemented in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
|
|
- Registration tasks depend on tool implementation tasks completing
|
|
- Error handling and formatting tasks depend on tool implementation
|
|
|
|
### Parallel Opportunities
|
|
|
|
- All Setup tasks marked [P] can run in parallel (10 tasks in Phase 1)
|
|
- All Foundational tasks marked [P] can run in parallel (18 tasks in Phase 2)
|
|
- Once Foundational phase completes, all 3 user stories can start in parallel (if team capacity allows)
|
|
- Within each user story, most tool implementations marked [P] can run in parallel:
|
|
- US1: 12 parallel tool tasks
|
|
- US2: 14 parallel tool tasks
|
|
- US3: 14 parallel tool tasks
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Parallel Example: User Story 1 (File Operations)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# After Foundational phase completes, launch all file operation tools together:
|
|
Task: "T029 [P] [US1] Create obsidian_create_note tool in src/tools/file-operations.ts"
|
|
Task: "T030 [P] [US1] Define Zod schema for create_note parameters..."
|
|
Task: "T031 [P] [US1] Create obsidian_read_note tool in src/tools/file-operations.ts"
|
|
Task: "T032 [P] [US1] Define Zod schema for read_note parameters..."
|
|
# ... all 12 [P] tasks can run simultaneously
|
|
|
|
# Then do sequential integration:
|
|
Task: "T041 [US1] Register all file operation tools in src/server.ts"
|
|
Task: "T042 [US1] Implement ambiguous name error handling..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Implementation Strategy
|
|
|
|
### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
|
|
|
|
1. Complete Phase 1: Setup (10 tasks)
|
|
2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (18 tasks) - CRITICAL, blocks all stories
|
|
3. Complete Phase 3: User Story 1 (17 tasks)
|
|
4. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Test User Story 1 independently with AI assistant
|
|
5. Package and test installation in Claude Desktop
|
|
|
|
**MVP Deliverable**: Basic file operations (create, read, append, delete, move, rename) working end-to-end. Users can manage notes conversationally.
|
|
|
|
### Incremental Delivery
|
|
|
|
1. Complete Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready (28 tasks)
|
|
2. Add User Story 1 → Test independently → Package/Demo (17 tasks) - **MVP!**
|
|
3. Add User Story 2 → Test independently → Package/Demo (18 tasks)
|
|
4. Add User Story 3 → Test independently → Package/Demo (18 tasks)
|
|
5. Polish → Final package (17 tasks)
|
|
|
|
Each increment adds value without breaking previous stories.
|
|
|
|
### Parallel Team Strategy
|
|
|
|
With multiple developers after Foundational phase completes:
|
|
|
|
- Developer A: User Story 1 (file operations)
|
|
- Developer B: User Story 2 (search & discovery)
|
|
- Developer C: User Story 3 (tasks & properties)
|
|
|
|
Stories complete and integrate independently.
|
|

|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- [P] tasks = different files, no dependencies (can execute in parallel)
|
|
- [Story] label maps task to specific user story for traceability
|
|
- Each user story should be independently completable and testable
|
|
- Commit after each task or logical group
|
|
- Stop at any checkpoint to validate story independently
|
|
- Total tasks: **98 tasks** (reduced from 165 after removing US4 & US5)
|
|
- Tasks per user story: US1=17, US2=18, US3=18
|
|
- Parallel opportunities: ~40 tasks can run in parallel within phases
|
|
- Estimated MVP scope: 45 tasks (Setup + Foundational + US1)
|
