WHY THIS
EXISTS.
A new coding-agent session forgets yesterday's decisions, the obscure fix that took hours and the conventions that make a project coherent. Rebuilding that context wastes time and repeats mistakes.
// Amnesia is not a feature
A file-based long-term memory framework for coding agents: project context, decisions, incidents and preferences that survive sessions and machines.
A new coding-agent session forgets yesterday's decisions, the obscure fix that took hours and the conventions that make a project coherent. Rebuilding that context wastes time and repeats mistakes.
Claude Cortex uses a small Markdown index and focused memory files for projects, decisions, incidents and feedback. Agents read the relevant context at session start and write durable lessons back at the end.
Markdown stays inspectable, editable, diffable and portable without adding a database or hosted service.
A concise master index points agents toward the project, incident or integration notes relevant to the current task.
Activity logs, decisions and newly discovered patterns survive context resets and machine changes.
