Session Description
Personal knowledge bases are messy, but engineering agents need memory: decisions, docs, TODOs, old PRs, architecture notes, incident notes. This talk shows how I made an Obsidian vault usable by an agent using local-first retrieval and small-model inference. The point is not “chat with notes”; it is how to build durable, inspectable agent memory.
