Claude-Mem
A hook-based memory plugin that records coding sessions and recalls relevant context through a local worker, database, and search interface.
Project overview
Claude-Mem is a agent plugin built around a hook-based memory plugin that records coding sessions and recalls relevant context through a local worker, database, and search interface. Its value is practical: store coding sessions and retrieve past context are available from one documented project, while the repository remains inspectable before it is added to an agent workflow.
Core capabilities
Store coding sessions
Store coding sessions is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Retrieve past context
Retrieve past context is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Restore project memory across tasks
Restore project memory across tasks is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Browse memories locally
Browse memories locally is documented in the repository README or its component instructions. Review the linked source for current behavior and requirements.
Installation and usage
Set up Claude-Mem from its public GitHub instructions, keep the initial permission scope small, and verify it with a low-risk task before regular use.
Let an AI Agent install it
Send this prompt to Codex, Claude Code, or another AI agent that can work with your local environment.

Read the repository README and license first. Confirm the current host, prerequisites, destination paths, and permissions. Follow the repository's documented method, keep credentials out of files and logs, and start with the least-privilege or read-only option where available. Afterward, run a small verification and report the exact changes, commands, configuration path, and result. Ask before overwriting files or requesting broader access.- Node.js and npx are installed
- Review the storage scope of the local database and settings directory
npx claude-mem install- 1Review prerequisites and scope
Read the README, confirm the target host, and prepare these prerequisites: Node.js and npx are installed; Review the storage scope of the local database and settings directory. Check destination paths and permissions before making changes.
- 2Apply the documented setup
Run the documented command: npx claude-mem install
- 3Verify with a small task
Restart or reload the target agent, confirm that Claude-Mem appears in its installed extensions or skills, and run the smallest documented example before using it on important work.

- Session data enters a local database and needs retention and backup rules
- A global npm package install provides the SDK but not the full plugin setup
Use cases
Maintain the same codebase over time
Maintain the same codebase over time is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Recover decisions from earlier sessions
Recover decisions from earlier sessions is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Reduce repeated project explanations
Reduce repeated project explanations is a practical fit when the repository's documented prerequisites and permission model match the current environment.
Assessment
This assessment is based on the repository README, component documentation, license, and maintenance metadata. Capture, retrieval, and browsing form a complete local memory workflow; The installer configures the required hooks. The main trade-offs are also clear: Session data enters a local database and needs retention and backup rules; A global npm package install provides the SDK but not the full plugin setup. No local installation or functional test was claimed during cataloging.
Why it may be useful
- Capture, retrieval, and browsing form a complete local memory workflow
- The installer configures the required hooks
What to know first
- Session data enters a local database and needs retention and backup rules
- A global npm package install provides the SDK but not the full plugin setup

Getting started
- Set up Claude-Mem from its public GitHub instructions, keep the initial permission scope small, and verify it with a low-risk task before regular use.
- The repository describes Claude-Mem as a hook-based memory plugin that records coding sessions and recalls relevant context through a local worker, database, and search interface.
- Its main capabilities include store coding sessions, retrieve past context, restore project memory across tasks, browse memories locally. The documented facts include automatic session capture, local worker and database, search interface, claude code plugin installation.
- Restart or reload the target agent, confirm that Claude-Mem appears in its installed extensions or skills, and run the smallest documented example before using it on important work.
Configuration
npx claude-mem install
