📖 Lore
Shared, full-fidelity, session history for every AI agent you use.
Any Agent. Any Session. Any Turn. Anytime.
The session you ran in Claude Code this morning, Openclaw can pull up this afternoon. The debugging thread Cursor worked through last week, Hermes can read like it was sitting right there. Lore gives all of your coding agents one shared memory: across every tool, across every session, and it never expires.
That is the part most "agent memory" misses. Other tools remember things for one agent, inside one app. Lore makes every session any of your agents has ever had searchable by any other agent, anytime. What Codex figured out, Claude Code knows. What you solved on Tuesday is one search away on Friday, in whatever agent you happen to be in.
And yes, it survives compaction. When a context window fills up and compacts, the work isn't gone, it's sitting right there on disk. Lore just makes it reachable again, fully searchable, right where your agents work. Local, private, and yours forever.

v0.2.0 release
This release turns Lore from a search box over old transcripts into a small workflow substrate for agents that have to continue real work:
again. lore status --json reports both schemaVersion and supportedSchemaVersion, so stale global installs are obvious before sync, index, or push writes fail.
- Schema 5 write support. Current installs can read and write the live store
window is ready, missing, stale, or possibly unsynced before it writes a brief or handoff from incomplete memory.
- Freshness checks. lore status tells an agent whether a source/project
transcript tree incrementally. This covers codex (~/.codex/sessions, with archived sessions as a compatibility fallback) and claude-code (~/.claude/projects) without forcing agents to remember raw paths.
- Live detected-source sync. lore sync indexes a detected active
lore-handoff, and lore-dev-verification alongside the base lore skill. They include references, examples, eval specs, validators, and committed test reports.
- Workflow skills. The npm package now ships lore-recall, lore-brief,
validates the real tarball so README, help text, skill folders, executable mode, and package metadata are checked together.
- Package smoke proof. npm run package:smoke builds, packs, unpacks, and

✨ Why you'll want it
Hermes histories all land in one store (separate from their own /. stores), and any MCP client reads it. A session in one agent is instantly readable by all the others. What Codex figures out, Claude Code knows.

Lore sets itself up. Drop the blurb below into any coding agent. It installs Lore, indexes your own history, and proves search works before it calls itself done. It is server-free by default, with no MCP registration required.

Lore: common questions
- Is Lore MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (82/100). Read the Lore safety report
- How do I install Lore?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.

- What can I use instead of Lore?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Basic Memory MCP server, IWE (iwe.md) MCP server and Memanto MCP server.
- How does Lore compare with other AI and agents MCP servers?
- safety score 82/100 (higher than 65% of 4,460 AI and agents servers); tools 8 (the typical AI and agents server has 6); tools that change things 0% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
