- Version
- Latest on the main branch
- Access
- Code on GitHub
- Compatibility
- According to the README, it runs on Claude Code, and any terminal AI that reads and writes files works with rough edges. It uses an Obsidian vault for the notes.
- External costs
- The README says the system is free to use, including commercially inside your own business under its licence, and offers voluntary support for the author. The README says a Pro plan is sufficient but does not name the vendor. Your coding agent or model provider may charge for usage.
- Permissions
- The system acts through your coding agent with the access you give it. The README gives a prompt asking Claude to set up the system from the remote repository. According to the README, the build prompt can install Obsidian, interview you and write vault folders, daily notes, a profile and recurring-task instructions. The README places CLAUDE.md in your working directory for loading each session and MEMORY.md under ~/.claude/projects/... to redirect native memory to the vault. The README's update procedure asks the agent to pull the repository and report changes, with the vault, notes and working-directory CLAUDE.md kept outside that checkout.

AI Memory Vault is a build prompt and template system for using an Obsidian vault as an AI assistant's working memory. The README describes storing notes outside the model; the GitHub description identifies Markdown rather than a vector database.The README says to run ai-memory-vault.md inside Claude, which checks for Obsidian, installs it if absent, interviews you and builds a boot configuration, project folders, daily notes, a profile and recurring-task Jobs.
The README describes CLAUDE.md as the boot configuration, VAULT-INDEX.md as the vault's operating manual, DAILY-NOTE.md as a note template and MEMORY.md as a pointer from Claude Code's memory to the vault. The README describes AI Priming as reading selected notes before producing an output. The README says the boot template includes the author's agent persona, which you can retain, rename or replace.
Who it is for
People who use Claude Code, or another terminal AI that reads and writes files, and want it to keep its notes in an Obsidian vault.Example tasks
Run the build script inside Claude to set up the vault and boot config.Fill in the marked spots in a template, or ask your AI to interview you and fill it in.
Create daily notes from the daily-note template.
Set up Jobs so the AI handles a recurring task your way.
Prime your AI with a set of your notes before it writes an email.
