Obsidian plugin author: hidden databases block AI, plain text properties unlock it
dSebastien · x · 2026-09-28
Developer dSebastien explains the design philosophy behind his Obsidian Kanban Action Planner plugin: every hidden database your task manager keeps is knowledge your AI can't touch, while every plain text property is knowledge it can act on. Keeping task data in AI-readable plain text is the key to letting assistants understand and act on your work — a useful principle for anyone wiring AI into their toolchain.
