Save to Obsidian

Save curated notes from conversations or claude-mem observations into the Obsidian vault.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine What to Save

• If the user specifies content: use that directly
• If the user says "from memory" or "from claude-mem": use search MCP tool to find observations, then get_observations to fetch full details
• If vague: summarize the current conversation topic and confirm with the user

Step 2: Choose Target Folder

• If user specifies a folder: use it
• Otherwise: call list_folders to show available folders and ask the user, or infer from content type:
  • Technical investigations → Investigations/
  • Meeting notes → Work Notes/Syncs/
  • Work items/TODOs → Work Notes/
  • General notes → vault root

Step 3: Generate Tags

Auto-generate 3-7 tags from the content:

• From claude-mem concepts array → convert to camelCase tags
• From claude-mem observation type → #bugfix, #feature, #discovery, etc.
• From content → tech terms, project names, domain areas
• Style: single-word lowercase, multi-word camelCase (e.g., #typescript, #smartContracts)

Step 4: Format and Save

Call save_note with:

• title: descriptive title for the note
• content: formatted markdown body
• folder: target folder
• tags: generated tag array (without # prefix)

The note format will be:

# {Title}

Tags:
#tag1 #tag2 #tag3

{Content body}

## Source
From Claude Code conversation on {date}

Step 5: Confirm

Tell the user the file path and a summary of what was saved.

Examples

Direct save:

"Save a note about our JWT auth discussion to Investigations"

1. Summarize the auth discussion
2. Folder: Investigations/
3. Tags: #authentication, #jwt, #security
4. Call save_note

From claude-mem:

"Pull my recent discoveries and save to obsidian"

1. search(type="observations", obs_type="discovery", limit=10)
2. get_observations(ids=[...relevant IDs])
3. Format into a consolidated note
4. Ask user for folder or infer
5. Call save_note
