Why it mattersA coding agent that remembers earlier work saves the user from re-explaining the project. The tool plugs into Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and five other agents.
Every new session with a coding agent starts the same way. You explain the project again. A tool called Claude-Mem keeps what the agent learned last time. It feeds the right parts to the next session. The GitHub repository is at 104,691 stars. It sits 21st on Trendshift's daily list of trending projects.
The author is Alex Mack, who publishes on GitHub as thedotmack. The project is Apache 2.0 licensed. The current release is v15.6.0, published on 29 October. The repository was first opened on 31 August 2025. So the star count is a total, not a weekly gain.
What it does
The author says the tool watches a coding session. It turns the actions into short notes. It then injects the relevant notes when a new session starts. Each note carries an ID so the agent can quote it later. Storage lives on the user's own machine. A separate hosted service is offered as a paid option.
The install command is one line in a terminal. The install asks the user to sign in by email magic link. That turns on a 30-day free trial of a hosted service called CMEM Pro. After the trial, the author says memory falls back to the user's own Anthropic plan unless they subscribe. Users who do not want to sign in can pass a flag and run the tool offline.
Which agents it works with
The README lists eight supported coding agents. The list includes Claude Code, OpenCode, T3 Code, Antigravity CLI, OMP, Pi, DeepSeek Harness and OpenClaw. Each one has its own install command. Codex, Gemini and GitHub Copilot are listed on the project page as additional agents. The author says the plugin can also be installed from Claude Code's own marketplace with a short command.
A feature called TeamBrain lets several people share a work list with attribution. The author says personal requests and review notes stay separate from the shared workspace. The badge row on the GitHub page shows the project is part of the Vercel OSS Program.
What it costs the user
Memory sits on the user's disk by default. Screenshots are off until the user turns them on. Cloud Sync is off until the user turns it on. The author says the sign-in step provisions a memory key for the account. It unlocks the free trial. Every account step can be skipped by setting a flag.
The repository has 9,237 forks and open discussions on GitHub. That is one sign that people are using it rather than only starring it. For a team already paying for Claude Code or Copilot, the install is one command. The fallback option is the plan they already have. For a solo developer, the question is simpler. Is the project big enough that the first line of context is often wrong?
