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.

Getting started

"Install →" is indicated in the README, along with usage examples such as commands to capture, ingest, challenge, visualize, daily routines, and YouTube ingestion. The README enumerates commands like /obsidian-save, /obsidian-ingest, /obsidian-challenge, /obsidian-visualize, /obsidian-daily, and /x-read, among others. The latest release notes indicate v0.14.0 - The Harvest (2026-07-18).
