Consolidation

Consolidation transforms atomic memories from MCP-Memory into enduring knowledge notes in your Obsidian vault. It gathers unconsolidated memories, classifies them, extends existing vault notes with observations, adds WikiLinks to related content, and marks memories as consolidated—turning episodic fragments into semantic knowledge without manual intervention.

Yes. Filter memories by domain tag (e.g., 'unison', 'scala') to consolidate topic-specific knowledge, or by time range (e.g., 'last week') to process recent observations. Running without arguments consolidates all unconsolidated memories across your entire memory store.

The consolidation agent searches your vault for existing notes matching each memory's topic, appends new observations with hashtags to extend them, and adds WikiLinks to related notes. This creates a connected knowledge graph where new findings strengthen existing structures.

Run consolidation on natural breakpoints—end of week, project milestone, or after intensive learning sessions—to maintain fresh context. The autonomous cycle requires no user interaction once triggered, making it suitable for regular maintenance of your knowledge vault.

Memories are episodic—timestamped observations and atomic facts. Vault knowledge is semantic—structured, interconnected notes that distill patterns from many memories. Consolidation bridges both by extracting enduring insights from scattered experiences and anchoring them as reusable knowledge.
