ai-memory

by akitaonrails

ai-memory is a shared long-term memory for AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. It records what happens in each session and passes a handoff to the next tool, machine or teammate, so nobody has to re-explain the project.

Worth a lookEstablished, with a few things to check (listed below).

What you can do with it

  • Stop work in Claude Code and carry on in Codex with a handoff of what failed and what is still open
  • Share project knowledge between teammates' coding agents through one server
  • Keep agent memory as plain markdown files in a git-backed wiki that you can search or edit by hand

Make money with it

A freelance developer could use it to work faster across client codebases and take on more projects, or offer to set up shared agent memory for small teams.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • A freelancer switching between AI coding tools avoids paying for repeated context and re-explaining client projects
  • A small dev team shares what its agents learn about a codebase, which cuts onboarding and rework time

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

It ships as a single Rust binary that you run as a server and register with each agent through MCP and lifecycle hooks, with details in the project docs.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • The default path needs no LLM, but the optional consolidation and 'dream' features need an LLM API key
  • Native Windows support is experimental
  • Memory compaction and deduplication are off by default and rewrite content once enabled

graphify Graphify-Labs
Worth a look

Graphify turns a codebase, along with its documents, PDFs, SQL schemas and configuration files, into a graph of connected concepts that you can search and question. It works as a /graphify command inside AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI, so they can look things up in the graph instead of reading every file.

archify tt-a1i
Worth a look

Archify is a skill you add to an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. It turns a description, plan or code repository into an interactive HTML diagram or one-page explainer that you can explore and share.
