check-items

You can automatically close completed tasks across multiple Obsidian vaults by running the /check-items command to scan session notes for unchecked items, match them with recent evidence, and flip confirmed tasks to completed.

Cross-project open-item detection works by reading project frontmatters to group unchecked items per project, then scanning recent session notes to extract contextual evidence and propose matches for user confirmation.

Yes, you can limit the task sweep to a specific time window by applying an optional Nd window parameter when running the /check-items workflow, restricting evidence collection and item matching to recent sessions.

The best way to match unchecked Obsidian tasks with session evidence is using a multi-step process that collects open items from Next Steps sections, extracts contextual evidence from recent sessions, and presents matched candidates for review.

No plugins are needed to check off open items in Obsidian vaults. The workflow operates independently without dependencies, scanning markdown session notes and applying source-file edits with cascade support to close tasks.

Completed Obsidian tasks may still show as open if session notes contain unchecked items in Open Questions or Next Steps sections that have not been swept by the cross-project /check-items workflow with evidence matching.
