Launch the example flow and verify the output matches expectations.
Captures session activity and re-injects relevant context later.
Summarizes sessions so memory stays compact and relevant.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, OpenCode, and more.
Uses ChromaDB as its vector memory store.

Yes. It is released under the Apache-2.0 license, which permits commercial use, modification, and redistribution. Read the LICENSE file for the exact terms.
You need model access for the compression and injection steps — typically your existing agent CLI subscription or API keys. Check the README for what it calls.
It is self-hosted and agent-CLI oriented, with local ChromaDB storage. Compare on retention quality, latency, and which agents each option supports.
Clone the repo, run npm install, and follow the README to connect it to the agent CLI you use.
