What it does

Memory Bridge is an agent skill from Ar9av/obsidian-wiki. Browse or compare wiki knowledge by originating AI tool. Use for cross-tool memory questions, tool-specific knowledge, or gap/diff analysis between Codex, Claude, Hermes, and other agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering LLM wikis. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Framework for AI agents to build and maintain a digital brain through Obsidian wiki | Memory System for Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Cross-tool memory questions
  • Tool-specific knowledge
  • Gap/diff analysis between Codex

Example prompts

  • “/memory-bridge”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Build the Source Map
  2. Execute the Mode
  3. Spawn impl-validator (if available)
  4. Log

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 709727e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg
    • claude
    • codex

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Memory Bridge loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 485 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Memory Bridge — Cross-Tool Knowledge Browser

You are helping the user browse and compare their Obsidian wiki knowledge filtered by which AI tool originally produced it. The wiki tracks source provenance in .manifest.json and page sources: frontmatter — this skill surfaces that metadata as a navigable view.

Before You Start

  1. Resolve config — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in llm-wiki/SKILL.md (inline @name override → walk up CWD for .env → global config → prompt setup). This gives OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH.
  2. Read $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/.manifest.json — this is the source-of-truth for what tool produced what.
  3. Read $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/index.md for page titles and one-line descriptions.

Commands

Parse the user's invocation to determine mode:

InvocationMode
/memory-bridge <tool>Browse — list all wiki pages sourced from <tool>
/memory-bridge <tool> "<topic>"Search — pages from <tool> that mention <topic>
/memory-bridge diffDiff — pages unique to each tool; overlap; blind spots
/memory-bridge diff <tool-a> <tool-b>Diff — compare two specific tools
/memory-bridge mapMap — full origin matrix: every page × every tool that touched it

Recognized tool names: claude, codex, hermes, openclaw, copilot, pi, manual (hand-written), ingest (wiki-ingest documents).

Step 1: Build the Source Map

Read .manifest.json. For each source entry, extract:

  • source_type — maps to tool name:
    • claude_conversation, claude_memory, claude_audit_log, claude_desktop_session → claude
    • codex_rollout, codex_index, codex_history → codex
    • hermes_memory, hermes_session → hermes
    • openclaw_memory, openclaw_daily_note, openclaw_session, openclaw_dreams → openclaw
    • copilot_session, copilot_checkpoint, copilot_transcript, copilot_memory_artifact → copilot
    • pi_session → pi
    • document → ingest
    • anything else → manual
  • pages_created and pages_updated — the wiki pages that came out of this source

Build a map:

tool_pages = {
  "claude": set(pages created/updated by claude sources),
  "codex":  set(pages created/updated by codex sources),
  ...
}

A page can appear in multiple tools' sets if multiple tools contributed to it.

Step 2: Execute the Mode

Browse Mode

Filter tool_pages[<tool>] and present as a grouped list:

## Knowledge from <tool> (<N> pages)

### By category
- concepts/ — N pages
- entities/ — N pages
- skills/   — N pages
...

### Pages
| Page | Category | Tags | Last updated |
|------|----------|------|--------------|
| [[page-name]] | concept | tag1, tag2 | 2026-04-10 |
...

Read frontmatter for the listed pages (grep for ^(title|category|tags|updated):) — do not read full page bodies unless the user asks.

Show full SKILL.md (204 more words)Show less
Search Mode

Within the filtered page set, run:

rg -l "<topic>" <pages in tool set>

Then grep section headers (^##) around matches to give context without full reads. Present results as a ranked list with the matching excerpt.

Diff Mode

Compute:

  • only_in_a = tool_pages[a] − tool_pages[b]
  • only_in_b = tool_pages[b] − tool_pages[a]
  • shared = tool_pages[a] ∩ tool_pages[b]

If no specific tools are given, compare all tools pairwise (limit to pairs with >0 overlap or unique pages to keep output concise).

Present:

## Memory Bridge Diff — <tool-a> vs <tool-b>

### Only in <tool-a> (<N> pages)
These concepts exist in your wiki from <tool-a> sessions but <tool-b> has never touched them.
<list with one-line descriptions from index.md>

### Only in <tool-b> (<N> pages)
<list>

### Shared (<N> pages)
Both tools have contributed to these pages.
<list — only show if ≤15; otherwise just the count>

### Notable gaps
<highlight the most interesting asymmetries — e.g. "codex has 12 pages on build tooling that claude has never seen">
Map Mode

Build a matrix showing every page and which tools have touched it. Cap at 50 rows; sort by number of contributing tools descending (most cross-tool pages first — these are the richest nodes).

| Page | claude | codex | hermes | copilot | pi |
|------|--------|-------|--------|---------|----|
| [[react-patterns]] | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ | — |
| [[rust-ownership]] | — | ✓ | — | — | ✓ |

Step 3: Spawn impl-validator (if available)

After generating output, if the impl-validator skill is available in the current environment, spawn it as a subagent:

impl-validator check:
  goal: "Browse/diff wiki knowledge by source tool and surface cross-tool blind spots"
  artifacts: [the output you just generated]
  checks:
    - Did you correctly parse source_type from .manifest.json?
    - Are page counts plausible (not 0 unless vault is empty)?
    - Is the diff symmetric (a−b and b−a are disjoint)?
    - Did you avoid reading full page bodies when not needed?

Apply any issues it surfaces before presenting output to the user.

Step 4: Log

Append to $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/log.md:

- [TIMESTAMP] MEMORY-BRIDGE mode=<browse|search|diff|map> tool=<tool> pages_shown=N

Output Conventions

  • Always show page counts so the user can calibrate how much knowledge is in each tool's silo.
  • Use [[wikilinks]] for page references (or standard Markdown links if OBSIDIAN_LINK_FORMAT=markdown is set).
  • In diff mode, call out the most surprising asymmetry explicitly — that's the insight the user came for.
  • If .manifest.json is empty or missing, say so clearly and suggest running /wiki-history-ingest first.
