I got tired of re-explaining my codebase to every coding agent — so I made critical memory live in the repo next to code
A developer has created an open-source tool called agent-memory to address the issue of coding agents losing project context when switching between tools. This tool stores critical project information, such as architectural decisions, local conventions, and known pitfalls, as plain Markdown files directly within the code repository. Agents can then access this durable memory via MCP calls, eliminating the need to re-scan the codebase or re-explain project specifics each time a new agent is used. This approach ensures context portability across different coding agents and models, preventing vendor lock-in and streamlining the development workflow. AI
