About ccf/agentcairn
Agentcairn is a Python tool that gives AI coding agents long-term, cross-project memory by using an Obsidian vault as the source of truth. It operates without a daemon or opaque databases, keeping memory fully under the user's control.
Best for
Developers who want transparent, file-based memory for AI coding agents using Obsidian
Use cases
- Persisting agent context across multiple coding sessions
- Sharing memory between different AI coding agents
- Maintaining a human-readable, editable memory store in Obsidian
Notes
16 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-07-13. Licensed Apache-2.0.
Pros
- Memory is stored in plain Markdown files, not a proprietary database
- No background daemon required, reducing complexity
- Cross-project memory helps agents retain context over time
Cons
- Requires an Obsidian vault, adding a dependency
- Limited to Python-based agent workflows
- Small community (16 stars) may mean less support and fewer integrations
