What it does
AI Memory Obsidian is an agent skill from kipperacademy/skillpper. Portable workflows for persistent memory and Obsidian across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Use when the user asks to recall or save past context, record decisions, create vault notes, or configure ai-memory, Obsidian CLI, or an Obsidian MCP bridge.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cross-platform-setup.md`, `references/handoff-protocol.md` and `references/mcp-setup-guide.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory. It works with Obsidian, Model Context Protocol, Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Practical skills for developers and their AI coding agents 🤓.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to recall
- Save past context
- Record decisions
- Create vault notes
Example prompts
- “/ai-memory-obsidian”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Task Inception (The "Memory First" Rule)
- Active Development (Capturing Decisions)
- Session Wrap-up (Handoff & Daily Note)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 163871c. 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:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
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
AI Memory Obsidian loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 655 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:78
only a redacted description. Never copy `.env` files, credential stores, or complete tool output into the vault or `ai-m
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 655 words (~1,399 tokens).
“A skill providing long-term persistent memory and documentation governance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Antigravity, Cursor, and others) using local Obsidian vaults and memory engines such as ai-memory.”
