# Session: Built obsidian-memory-plugin Cowork Plugin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Date:** 2026-05-27
|
||
|
|
**Topic:** Designed and built the [[obsidian-memory-plugin]] for Claude Cowork
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What happened
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jason wanted Claude to have persistent memory across Cowork sessions using his Obsidian vault (running Local REST API at 10.2.0.2:27124). We built a skill-only plugin — no MCP server — that calls the REST API directly via bash/curl. The plugin includes a lean SKILL.md and four reference files. It was packaged as obsidian-memory.plugin and installed. Vault was bootstrapped in the same session.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Decisions made
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Skill-only plugin (no MCP): direct curl calls are simpler and sufficient for a personal plugin, and produce a single distributable file
|
||
|
|
- API key hardcoded in skill (personal plugin, not for sharing)
|
||
|
|
- SSL verification skipped with `-k` (self-signed Obsidian cert)
|
||
|
|
- Temp file pattern (`cat > /tmp/obs_entry.md`) used for all multi-line writes to avoid heredoc quoting issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Artifacts produced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `obsidian-memory.plugin` — installed in Cowork
|
||
|
|
- `Projects/agents/README.md` — vault index (bootstrapped)
|
||
|
|
- `Projects/agents/memory/profile.md` — Jason's persistent profile (empty, to be filled)
|
||
|
|
- `Projects/agents/memory/inbox.md` — untriaged notes inbox
|
||
|
|
- `Projects/agents/memory/projects/obsidian-memory-plugin.md` — this project's state
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Open threads
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Fill in profile.md (role, preferences, tools stack) as facts come up in conversations
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Test memory recall in a fresh session — load README → profile → relevant project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Next step
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the next substantive session, load memory silently at the start (README → profile) and start populating profile.md as Jason's role and preferences emerge.
