OpenClaw Vault

Henry’s unified knowledge layer for the OpenClaw system. Built 2026-05-02 (Phase 1 of openclaw-obsidian-vault-2026-05-02).

What’s here

  • wiki/system-map/ — Mermaid diagrams of the system (start at _mermaid-test.md)
  • plans/ — all 91+ plan files mirrored from ~/.claude/plans/
  • memory/ — all memory files mirrored from ~/.claude/projects/-home-opsadmin/memory/
  • sources/kb/ — knowledge-base docs mirrored from ~/.openclaw/workspace/knowledge-base/
  • personal/ — Henry’s freeform notes (Obsidian Sync convergence point across devices)
  • logs/activity.md — append-only log of significant vault changes

Quick rules

  1. Don’t edit mirror zones (plans/, memory/, sources/kb/, wiki/system-map/) — edit the canonical path elsewhere on VPS.
  2. Do edit personal/ — it’s the round-trip zone for Henry’s notes from any device.
  3. Mermaid renders in Obsidian on Mac and iOS natively.
  4. Graph view (cmd-G on Mac) shows links across plans + memory + wiki.
