This is a clever use of the org-roam APIs and database to automatically populate the Org-mode Agendas file list, and has some really neat ideas which I'll integrate in to the CCE I think. I have been thinking that my Projects file isn't scaling so well since I can't represent project hierarchies or relationships very cleanly in the limited hierarchy I've limited myself to. This will have to be part of larger thinking, but I can implement most of this right now.

Without migrating out of Projects, I have

(length org-agenda-files)} {{{results(=22=)}}

files which are Project and Agendize tagged. I also want to integrate my Journal in to this to capture the carryover tasks and probably leave me embarrassed. Can't wait!

org-element search and update

I might turn this off.

There is some really sharp code in here to use the roam:Org Element API to search for TODO headlines and add a Project tag to the ROAM_TAGS org-roam metadata keyword:

(defun +org-notes-project-p ()
  "Return non-nil if current buffer has any todo entry.

TODO entries marked as done are ignored, meaning the this
function returns nil if current buffer contains only completed
tasks."
  (seq-find
   (lambda (type)
     (eq type 'todo))
   (org-element-map
       (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline)
       'headline
     (lambda (h)
       (org-element-property :todo-type h)))))

(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'+org-notes-project-update-tag)

(defun +org-notes-project-update-tag ()
  "Update PROJECT tag in the current buffer."
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (when (and (not (active-minibuffer-window))
               (+org-notes-buffer-p))
      (if (+org-notes-project-p)
          (org-roam-tag-add '("Project"))
        (org-roam-tag-remove '("Project"))))))

(defun +org-notes-buffer-p ()
  "Return non-nil if the currently visited buffer is a note."
  (and buffer-file-name
       (string-prefix-p
        (expand-file-name (file-name-as-directory org-roam-directory))
        (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))

  i think this works pretty well, now that i have it working…

I'm not sure I want this on by default, but it seems nice and great to have documented lying around.

org-agenda-list updating

a query against the org-roam tags table is unfortunately un-normalized. I want to add Agendize roam tag to it as well, and since it's non-normal and I think unsorted in the DB i need to be careful about it. Finally, remove files tagged Icebox. it basically works though:

(defun cce/org-roam-files-with-tags (&optional tags)
  "Return a list of note files containing Project tag."
  (let ((tags (or tags '("Project" "Agendize"))))
    (->> (org-roam-db-query
          [:select file :from nodes
                   :join tags :on (= node_id id)
                   :where (in tag $v1)]
          (apply #'vector tags)) 
         (delete-dups)
         (-map #'car))))

and an advice function to update the DB before showing the agenda:

(defun cce/agenda-files-update (&rest _)
  "Update the value of `org-agenda-files'."
  (setq org-agenda-files (cce/org-roam-files-with-tags)))

(advice-add 'org-agenda :before #'cce/agenda-files-update)
