One Obsidian vault to wrangle 13+ AI coding agents
Agentfiles exists because every AI coding tool now buries its own skill files in a separate hidden directory, and nobody asked for thirteen different filing systems.

What it does
Agentfiles is an Obsidian plugin that surfaces, edits, and organizes the markdown-based skills, commands, and agent files scattered across the dot directories of Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and others. It also pulls skills from an online marketplace and can ingest Claude Code conversation history directly into your vault.
The interesting bit
Obsidian plugins usually stay inside the vault; this one reaches out to read ~/.claude, ~/.cursor, and similar paths across your filesystem, which is why it is desktop-only. The author also treats prompt management as infrastructure, framing usage through metrics like “context tax” and “burn rate” that feel borrowed from DevOps observability.
Key highlights
- Supports 13+ tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Amp, and OpenCode via their respective config directories
- Built-in marketplace integration to browse and install skills from
skills.sh - Claude Code session history can be searched, tagged, and exported into the vault for reference
- Optional companion analytics track usage metrics like burn rate and context tax
- Desktop-only on macOS, Windows, and Linux; requires filesystem access outside the vault
Caveats
- Mobile Obsidian is unsupported because the plugin must read tool-specific files outside the vault
- Dashboard metrics depend on an optional external analytics tool rather than the plugin alone
Verdict
Grab it if you juggle multiple AI coding assistants and want a single place to curate their prompts. Skip it if you live on mobile Obsidian or only use one tool with a simple setup.
