ECHO Memory Vault

ECHO is an Obsidian-based memory vault serving as the persistent second brain for Jason Stedwell — operator and architect. It is designed for Claude/CoWork sessions, Claude Code, and any client speaking the Obsidian Local REST API.

Included

Root control docs: CLAUDE.md, STRUCTURE.md, BOOTSTRAP.md
Core knowledge folders (inbox, journal, projects, areas, resources, decisions, reviews, archive)
Agent memory and session folders (_agent/)
Canonical templates and seed anchor notes
index.md navigation hub
.env.example for REST client config

Operating logic

Day-to-day procedure is owned by the echo-memory skill (canonical source git.alwisp.com/jason/echo), not the control docs in this vault. CLAUDE.md and BOOTSTRAP.md cover principles, structure, and safety; the skill is authoritative on procedure.

Lineage

ECHO is the successor to Jason's earlier obsidian-memory system and a sibling of the goldbrain vault built for Bryan Gilliom. Same conventions, different operator: in ECHO, "the operator" is Jason.
