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_path in 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
