Memorix

What it is

A local-first shared memory layer for AI coding agents. SQLite is the canonical store and Orama handles search; project identity comes from the real Git root, so the memory belongs to the repository rather than to whichever tool you happened to use.

What you get

• memorix_project_context — the default brief an agent starts from: current project facts, start-here files, selected evidence, cautions about stale or suspect memories, and lens-specific verification hints, with the task lens inferred from the request
• Retrieval that expands only when needed: memorix_search, memorix_detail for a named missing fact, memorix_context_pack for a task-specific packet, and memorix_graph_context for an evidence-governed graph overview
• Writing memory: memorix_store, memorix_store_reasoning for design rationale with alternatives and trade-offs, memorix_search_reasoning, memorix_timeline and memorix_resolve
• Sessions: memorix_session_start — which is also how an HTTP-mode agent binds the active repository — plus memorix_session_end and memorix_session_context
• memorix_evidence and memorix_feedback for the evidence and feedback lifecycles, memorix_codegraph_status for index counts, memorix_media as the compact media companion available in every profile, and memorix_promote for turning durable knowledge into reusable skills
• Advanced tools registered only in the wider profiles: memorix_knowledge for the review-gated knowledge workspace, and memorix_compaction_checkpoint for explicit continuity inspection
• Git Memory turning commits into searchable engineering facts, orchestration for multi-agent work with handoffs, file locks and review loops, a local dashboard, and memcode, a bundled terminal agent reading the same memory

Requirements

Node.js 22.18.0 or newer, and Git — project identity is derived from the real Git root, so a directory outside a repository has no identity to attach memory to. Install with npm install -g memorix, then memorix setup --agent claude --global, substituting the agent you use; setup covers Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf, Kiro and others, choosing plugin, MCP, rules, hooks or skills depending on what each supports. memorix init is optional and writes TOML configuration to ~/.memorix/config.toml globally or memorix.toml per project. Model keys are optional: without them, memory formation and embeddings are skipped and local full-text retrieval still works. Long-term memory is deliberately not automatic — a record has to be created and then approved, and only a manually created user item marked portable can be considered in another local project.

Setup effort

One command — npm install -g memorix
