Project task counts

Bob Project Tasks keeps project task counts materialized in frontmatter. On project-type notes it maintains the task_count and open_task_count fields, so project progress is visible without counting Tasks sections by hand. The Recount all project tasks command recomputes those fields across the vault.

Snapshots to Highlights

The two snapshot commands send the active Markdown note to Highlights through bob ref create: Snapshot note to Highlights for open tasks, and Snapshot note to Highlights (with closed tasks) (-C) when the closed history should travel with it. Both commands are available only on Markdown notes.

None of the three commands has a registered default hotkey; run them from the command palette or bind them in Obsidian's hotkey settings.

Settings

This plugin adds no settings tab and reads no per-plugin settings. Project membership comes from the note's own frontmatter.
