Obsidian companion

Project Memory Companion is an optional visual review interface for the same portable Markdown used by Project Memory. The vault works without it.

Dashboard

The dashboard shows:

active and applied Promotion Inbox candidates with guarded lifecycle state;
diff previews and side-by-side conflict comparisons;
candidate search, status/operation filters, and explicit-selection bulk defer/reject actions;
team notes with draft, requested, or changes-requested review state;
overdue review dates;
superseded notes missing replacement links;
thin or uncovered workstreams from Coverage.md.
the latest generated Health Report.md findings;
a chronological knowledge timeline.

Use the brain-circuit ribbon icon or Project Memory Companion: Open dashboard.

Candidate actions

Approve, reject, or defer candidates directly in the dashboard. Approval records a timestamp, optional reviewer alias, and proposal fingerprint. It intentionally does not apply the proposed change to canonical notes. Bulk approval is unavailable; semantic approval remains candidate-by-candidate.

After approving candidates, ask Codex:

Apply the approved Project Memory candidates after rechecking conflicts and evidence.

Team reviews

The companion can approve a team review or request changes. It records review_status, the review date, and an optional reviewer alias configured locally in Obsidian settings.

Notifications

The optional local startup summary reports approved candidates awaiting application, application conflicts or failures, and overdue reviews. Disable it in the companion settings when you prefer dashboard-only review.

Local installation

Copy the release files into:

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/project-memory-companion/

The folder must contain main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css. Reload Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins, and enable Project Memory Companion.

The plugin is mobile-compatible and uses no Node.js or Electron APIs. It has no network access, telemetry, account, or external storage.
