Agent Dashboard

Agent Dashboard is an Obsidian community plugin for monitoring a working Vault, daily tasks, active projects, agent runs, and research feeds from one local control surface.

Features

• Vault health, inbox, task-flow, and note-creation activity summaries.
• Today tasks with persistent TODO, DOING, and DONE states.
• Project tracking filtered by a configurable folder and frontmatter status.
• Daily GitHub, biology, and physics feed archives.
• A scheduled Today feeds automation with persistent run history.
• Daily-note creation from a configurable Obsidian template.
• Optional Codex CLI deep-research reports on desktop.
• Vault lint reports, inbox capture, and direct links to generated notes.

Requirements

• Obsidian 1.8.0 or later.
• Desktop Obsidian is required only for the optional Codex CLI deep-research action.
• Codex CLI must be installed and authenticated separately before deep research can run.

Installation

Community plugins

After the plugin is accepted into the Obsidian community directory:

1. Open Settings → Community plugins.
2. Select Browse and search for Agent Dashboard.
3. Install and enable the plugin.

Manual installation

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the matching GitHub release. Copy them into:

<Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/agentic-vault-dashboard/

Reload Obsidian and enable Agent Dashboard under Settings → Community plugins.

Settings

Agent Dashboard adds a dedicated settings page with these options:

Setting	Default
Daily folder	90-Journal/Daily
Daily template	99-System/Templates/每日笔记模板.md
Projects folder	10-Projects
In-progress project status	进行中
Feed archive folder	90-Journal/Feeds
Today feeds hour	08:00 local time
Codex command	Bundled ChatGPT path on macOS; codex elsewhere

Vault paths always use forward slashes, including on Windows.

Today feeds automation

Once per day at the configured local hour, the plugin requests:

• GitHub repository search results for popular AI-agent projects.
• RSS feeds from Nature, Science, Cell, and Physical Review Letters.

The complete response metadata and available feed summaries are cached locally and written to a dated Markdown archive. The dashboard shows five current signals. If Obsidian is closed at the scheduled time, the automation runs after the next launch on the same day.

Deep research

Deep research is optional. On desktop it starts the configured Codex CLI executable with a read-only, ephemeral command and sends the five visible feed signals as its prompt. The resulting Markdown report is saved inside the Vault.

On Windows, install Codex CLI and either make codex available on PATH or set an absolute executable path in the plugin settings.

Privacy and network access

• Vault scanning, task updates, project tracking, and generated Markdown files stay local.
• Today feeds makes network requests only to GitHub and the configured journal RSS endpoints.
• Deep research sends the selected feed metadata to the separately installed Codex CLI.
• The plugin does not include telemetry, advertising, cloud sync, or bundled API keys.
• Feed archives and reports may contain titles, summaries, and URLs returned by external services.

Development

npm install
npm run dev
npm run build
npm run lint

The plugin release consists of main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.
