1

Is Personal Agentic OS right for you?

Build local shared memory when you work across projects and AI tools.

2

Setup prerequisites

Prepare Node.js, the destination path, and your Obsidian decision before installation.

3

Install with NPM

Run the local installer, review its proposed plan, and approve changes only afterward.

4

Set up memory with Obsidian

Choose Obsidian for shared memory or knowingly accept Dashboard-only limitations.

5

Connect your first tool

Select Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI and approve the proposed local paths and permissions.

6

Verify installation and run the first sync

Check connections, the proposed project map, and sync results before relying on the Dashboard.

Field guides

1

Share project memory between Codex and Claude Code

Use one reference for project decisions and current state without copying entire conversation histories.

2

AGENTS.md vs CLAUDE.md vs GEMINI.md

Separate tool instructions from operational memory and avoid duplicated or conflicting rules.

3

Move project context between AI coding tools

A controlled handoff of decisions, sources, and open questions—not an entire conversation export.

4

Free AI coding agent project handoff template

A Markdown file for goals, state, decisions, and next actions, with a synthetic example and usage rules.

5

Local-first agent privacy: what stays local?

Understand the boundaries between your Vault, model provider, and website analytics; local files do not make every workflow offline.

6

Manage context across multiple AI coding projects

Keep project identity, provenance, and context packs separate; review proposed merges before approval.

7

Reproduce a local two-adapter memory handoff

An actual 0.10.0 synthetic-data result: adapter creation, a context pack, and verification without saved-state changes.
