Install with `shardmind install` (a wizard that personalises the vault) or plain `git clone`; ShardMind is optional. All memory lives as git-tracked Markdown in the vault, not in an agent's private store. One `AGENTS.md` for every agent; full support on Claude Code, hooks and commands on Codex and Gemini. Optional QMD semantic search runs three small local models (no API key) and exposes MCP tools; without it, the agent falls back to grep. The README documents context-size budgets and per-agent limits it measured. ★~5.3k.","theCatch":"It is opinionated about work life — standups, 1:1s, brag docs, incident capture — so it fits people who want an agent-run work journal, not just a project memory file. Needs Obsidian 1.12+ (a free but closed-source app) with its CLI enabled, plus Node 22+. QMD downloads about 2 GB of local models on first use. Hooks run on every session and message, so read them before you trust a vault. Vs mem0 or Letta: those are memory layers you build into an app; this is a personal vault for your own coding agent.","verdict":"The most complete plain-Markdown memory setup for Claude Code and friends — free, but opinionated and Obsidian-bound.","addedAt":"2026-10-13","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Memory & Evals","subcategory":"Memory & Evals","tags":["mcp","cli","self-host","permissive","coding-agents","memory","active"],"capabilities":["memory","mcp","cli"],"surfaces":["MCP","CLI","Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Node.js"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":5385,"starsPerWeek":161,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-02-28","pushedAt":"2026-10-17","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/obsidian-mind","html":"/gems/obsidian-mind","markdown":"/gems/obsidian-mind.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
