What kind of information can I save with this skill?

You can save architectural decisions, reusable code patterns, bug fix details, general learnings, and file-specific documentation using specialized templates.

Does this replace Claude's native context window?

No, it complements it by providing a permanent, external storage solution for information that needs to persist long after a specific chat session has ended.

How does mem-save integrate with my existing notes?

The skill uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools to write structured markdown files directly into your specified Obsidian vault directory, allowing you to search and link them like any other note.

Can I use custom categories for my notes?

Yes, while the skill provides default types like 'decision' and 'pattern', you can categorize your input to fit your personal knowledge management workflow.

Learning & Documentation

Persists project knowledge, architectural decisions, and coding patterns directly into an Obsidian-based knowledge base for long-term retrieval.

About

The mem-save skill transforms Claude into a proactive documentation partner by bridging the gap between active development and long-term knowledge management. By integrating directly with Obsidian via MCP, it allows developers to explicitly capture critical project context—including architectural rationales, complex code patterns, and specific bug resolutions—using structured markdown templates. This ensures that valuable insights gained during a coding session are preserved in a human-readable format, making them easily searchable and reusable across future development tasks and projects.

Key Features

Context-aware documentation that includes project metadata and tags
Structured templates for decisions, patterns, errors, and learnings
Support for Obsidian-friendly markdown formatting and internal linking
Direct integration with Obsidian vaults via MCP tools
Customizable note types for versatile knowledge categorization
8 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Recording complex architectural decisions and rationales for future team alignment
Creating a reusable library of specialized code patterns and regex solutions
Documenting root cause analyses for tricky bugs to prevent future regressions
