Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.

eugeniughelbur/obsidian-second-brainGitHub

Choose it if you need the same Obsidian-based persistent store to work with multiple CLI agents, not just Claude Code.

Persistent memory for Claude Code and 6 other CLI agents, stored as plain markdown in your Obsidian vault. Stop re-explaining your projects, decisions and people every session. 45 commands: hybrid semantic search, self-rewriting notes, key-less web research, and scheduled agents that maintain the vault while you sleep.
