Coding agents stop losing their memory at the tool boundary: one shared store follows you across agents, projects and machines
ai-memory moves a coding agent's long-term memory out of a single tool and machine and onto a server the user runs, so more than twenty coding harnesses read and write one shared store. Previously Claude Code, Cursor and others kept their own notes, which vanished when you switched tools or handed work to a teammate. The source of truth is a git-backed wiki of ordinary Markdown files, with the database as a rebuildable index, and the default path makes no LLM calls, so capture, search and handoffs need no API key.
