Obsidian Sync
State file: ~/.openclaw/skill-state/obsidian-sync/state.yaml
Your agent's memory should be readable by you, not just by the agent.
When to Use
- On 10pm nightly cron wakeup
- When the user asks to sync notes to Obsidian
- After a major task completion worth archiving
Setup (First Run)
On first run, ask the user for their vault path and write it to state as vault_path. Do not proceed until this is set.
The Sync Process
Step 1: Read Agent Memory
- Read today's
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Read
MEMORY.md(long-term memory)
Step 2: Write to Vault
- Copy
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md→<vault_path>/OpenClaw/Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Copy
MEMORY.md→<vault_path>/OpenClaw/Memory.md - Create
<vault_path>/OpenClaw/directory if it doesn't exist
Step 3: Update State
Write last_sync_at, notes_written (count of files written), vault_path to state.
Cron Wakeup Behavior
On 10pm wakeup:
- Check
vault_pathin state — if empty, skip and notify user to set it - Check
last_sync_at— if today, skip - Otherwise run sync
Key Principles
- Never overwrite vault files the user has manually edited — append-only to Daily notes
- If the vault path doesn't exist, warn the user rather than creating it silently
- Keep the OpenClaw folder structure flat and simple
