# memory-bridge

Browse an Obsidian wiki by which AI tool wrote each page, then diff two agents against each other. Handy when Claude, Codex and Copilot sessions pile up in separate silos.

## What it does

The skill takes `.manifest.json` in your Obsidian vault as the source of truth. Every entry has a `source_type`, and each one maps to a tool name: `claude`, `codex`, `hermes`, `openclaw`, `copilot`, `pi`, `manual` or `ingest`. A page lands in several sets when several tools touched it. Titles and one-line descriptions come from `index.md`.

Setup is the part that trips people up. The skill needs `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` and resolves it the way `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` describes: an inline `@name` override first, then `.env` walking up from the working directory, then global config, then an interactive prompt. An empty or missing manifest means there is nothing to browse, so run `/wiki-history-ingest` before you expect output.

Modes cover one tool's pages, a topic search inside that set, a diff of two tools, and a page-by-tool matrix capped at 50 rows with the busiest pages on top. Runs get logged to `log.md`. When `impl-validator` exists in the environment, the draft output goes through it before you see anything.

## Requirements
- Works with: Obsidian

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill memory-bridge -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/memory-bridge/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill memory-bridge -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill memory-bridge -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Ar9av/obsidian-wiki memory-bridge
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill memory-bridge -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --path .skills/memory-bridge
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill memory-bridge -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Ar9av/obsidian-wiki/tree/HEAD/.skills/memory-bridge/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- sort wiki pages by the tool that produced them
- find what Codex wrote about build tooling and check it against Claude's notes
- spot topics only one agent has ever touched
- build a page-by-tool matrix and find the pages with the most contributors
- catch blind spots between your own past sessions

## Example prompts
- \`/memory-bridge claude` — show everything Claude contributed
- \`/memory-bridge codex "postgres"` — what Codex wrote about postgres
- \`/memory-bridge diff claude codex` — where the two agents diverge

# 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:

| Invocation | Mode |
|---|---|
| `/memory-bridge <tool>` | **Browse** — list all wiki pages sourced from `<tool>` |
| `/memory-bridge <tool> "<topic>"` | **Search** — pages from `<tool>` that mention `<topic>` |
| `/memory-bridge diff` | **Diff** — pages unique to each tool; overlap; blind spots |
| `/memory-bridge diff <tool-a> <tool-b>` | **Diff** — compare two specific tools |
| `/memory-bridge map` | **Map** — 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.
