engram-rs vs claudian

engram-rs: engram-rs is a memory engine for AI agents that organizes knowledge along two axes: time (three-layer decay & promotion) and space (self-organizing topic tree). It intelligently promotes important memories, fades noise, and automatically clusters related knowledge, providing a more effective alternative to flat memory stores.; claudian: Claudian is an Obsidian plugin that integrates Claude Code directly into your note-taking vault, transforming it into an AI agent's dynamic working directory. It empowers Claude with full agentic capabilities, including file manipulation, search, bash command execution, and multi-step workflow automation.
