Memory

Obsidian Memory Skill

Use a local Obsidian vault to maintain persistent context and memory across Claude Code sessions.

Goals

• Reduce context window usage by storing detailed experiment logs and summaries in Obsidian.
• Maintain a searchable knowledge base of all experiments, results, and insights.
• Automate the creation of daily summaries and pipeline execution logs.

When to use

• Before ending a session: Save a summary of current progress.
• After an experiment finishes: Use experiment_summary to record results.
• When switching tasks: Load relevant context from previous notes.
• Daily: Review or append to the daily summary.

Tools

• save_context(topic, content, tags, category): Save notes to Obsidian.
• load_context(topic_or_query): Retrieve notes or search.
• experiment_summary(exp_id): Generate a structured summary from an experiment ID.

Folder Structure

• experiments/: One note per experiment.
• pipeline-runs/: Logs of automated runs.
• daily/: Daily activity summaries.
• templates/: Templates for new notes.

Workflow

1. Record: As you work, use save_context to jot down observations.
2. Summarize: When an experiment is done, run experiment_summary.
3. Recall: At the start of a session, use load_context with a query like "yesterday" or "baseline" to get up to speed.
