What the publisher says
From the Agent Memory repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
agent-memory
Local, git-native project memory for AI coding agents. One MCP call in, structured memory updates out — current task state, decisions, conventions, pitfalls, per-module facts. Branch-aware. Secret-safe. Byte-preserving. No cloud, no vector DB — Markdown is the source of truth and git is the sync. Three MCP tools + a full CLI.
Why it's different: memory is plain Markdown committed to your repo, so you can read and git diff it; durable changes stage for human review (review --diff → apply) instead of landing silently; and secrets/PII are scanned out before anything is written. See ROADMAP.md for where this is headed (system-level / multi-repo memory).
Demo
An agent records a durable decision; it stages for review; you see the exact diff, apply it, and a later fetch surfaces it — local, git-native, reviewable, secret-safe. The clip is reproducible: docs/demo/demo.sh is the runnable flow and docs/demo/demo.tape renders the gif with vhs — see docs/demo/.
How it compares
These are general characterizations and the tools evolve fast — see something inaccurate? Open an issue and I'll fix the row. agent-memory is complementary to instruction files like AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md (it even installs one): those say how to behave; agent-memory is the durable, searchable, reviewed knowledge behind it.
Status
Release 0.6.0 — the Proof of Memory Consumption & Anti-Ornamental Hardening release: bridges durable memory with verifiable autonomous execution and strict fail-closed security invariants:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
