Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…

Hey HN! I'm José, and I built Recall to solve a problem that was driving me crazy. The Problem: I use Claude for coding daily, but every conversation starts from scratch. I'd explain my architecture, coding standards, past decisions... then hit the context limit and lose everything. Next session? Start over. The Solution: Recall is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude persistent memory using Redis + semantic search. Think of it as long-term memory that survives context limits and session restarts. How it works: - Claude stores important context as "memories" during…

Shared memory for AI coding agents. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex read what your project already decided, so context survives between tools and sessions.

Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

We built CodeYam Memory because Claude Code kept making the same mistakes on our codebase. Our claude.md files quickly got stale and maintaining by hand or with Claude wasn’t sufficient. While digging into this we found that Claude has a native rules system that allowed us to target specific parts of our repo with path matching. This was ideal for our use case but trying to manage these rules by hand was already not working and would be even harder with more granular, targeted rules. CodeYam Memory uses a background agent to review your coding session transcripts, identifies confusion…

Tired of AI coding tools that forget everything between sessions? Every time I open a new chat with Claude or fire up Copilot, I'm back to square one explaining my codebase structure. So I built something to fix this. It's called In Memoria. Its an MCP server that gives AI tools persistent memory. Instead of starting fresh every conversation, the AI remembers your coding patterns, architectural decisions, and all the context you've built up. The setup is dead simple: `npx in-memoria server` then connect your AI tool. No accounts, no data leaves your machine. Under the hood it's TypeScript +…

Hi HN. Live-Memory is an open-source Claude Code plugin / MCP server that serves as an always up-to-date memory of your codebase. It uses a separate, low-cost, large-context-window model to distill your repo's organization, conventions and general structure. It observes the primary agent's activity and builds an understanding of your repo passively over time. This way, when you start a new Claude Code session, your primary agent queries Live-Memory via one read-only ask_live_memory tool and bootstraps its understanding of the codebase for the particular task at hand, instead of…

devnexus is an open-source cli that gives agents persistent shared memory across repos, sessions, and engineers. It maps out dependencies and relations at the function level, builds a code graph, and writes it into a shared Obsidian vault that every agent reads before writing code. Past decisions are also linked directly to the code they touched, so no one goes down the same dead end twice. Still building it out but I would love to hear any thoughts/feedback
