Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.
Track water and sleep with JSON file storage
Notion API for creating and managing pages, databases, and blocks.
Smart ClawdBot documentation access with local search index, cached snippets, and on-demand fetch. Token-efficient and freshness-aware.
Work with Obsidian vaults as a knowledge base. Features: fuzzy/phonetic search across all notes, auto-folder detection for new notes, create/read/edit notes with frontmatter, manage tags and wikilinks. Use when: querying knowledge base, saving notes/documents, editing existing notes by user instructions.
Organize your agent's knowledge using PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) — then make it ALL searchable. The symlink trick enables full semantic search across your entire knowledge base, not just MEMORY.md. Includes session transcript indexing and memory flush protocol. Your agent finally has a real second brain.
