What it is
obsidian-second-brain is a tool that persistent memory for Claude Code and 6 other CLI agents, stored as plain markdown in your Obsidian vault. It provides 45 commands including hybrid semantic search, self-rewriting notes, key-less web research, and scheduled agents to maintain the vault.
How it works
The project enables multiple CLIs (Code/Codex/Gemini/OpenCode/etc.) that share a common brain saved in Obsidian notes. It uses AI-driven note rewriting, reconciliation of contradictions, and synthesis across sources to keep the vault up-to-date. There are scheduled agent phases that operate while the user is idle, and commands that ingest media (audio, images, web) into the vault.
