Interesting approach to memory via plain-text files and explicit memory structure
From 3 comments
I've been building persistent memory for Claude Code too, narrower focus though: the AI's model of the user specifically. Different goal but I kept hitting what I think is a…
rodspeed on HNMy first thought was: yet another memory architecture for Claude. But the concept is quite cool. I’m not sure I’ll use it for Claude for I told my OpenClaw instance to copy the…
brtkwr on HNVery good problem solve. Claude for some reason doesn't have access to other sessions. But the way around it is doing a project, that giving project context.

Written text appears LLM-generated and hard to read
From 3 comments
I like the idea of various extensions of LLM context using transparent plaintext, automatic consolidation and summarization... but I just can't read this LLM-generated text…
kixiQu on HNI am in the same boat. Reading is a transaction and lately everyone wants to put 60 seconds of effort into writing an article and expect me to put 10 minutes into reading it, and…

Memory may be unnecessary; rules and CLAUDE.md suffice
From 3 comments
Honestly memory seems like an overcomplicating way to solve this problem in the context of something like a coding agent. Rules and Skills are much more explicit, less noisy and…
cjonas on HNHow’s it different / better / worse than CLAUDE.md or auto memory? https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory
suncemoje on HNI use Claude Code a lot, especially when building infrastructure. The most important thing in my work isn't so much the memory architecture, but rather the good structure of…

Persistence lost when the process dies or the laptop sleeps
From 1 comment
This works well for single sessions. Problem starts when the process dies or you close the laptop and come back 3 hours later. All that plain-text context is in memory, not on…

Support for other coding agents beyond Claude Code
From 1 comment
Kind of a silly question but what limits this to just Claude Code? Seems like it'd work with aider, OpenCode or even vibe.

How does the author evolve it and evaluate better strategies?
From 1 comment
how do you evolve this? you have received a couple of suggestions to make it better. How do you evaluate whether a different strategy yields better results?

claude-brain SQLite memory

Interesting approach. I went a different direction and built the memory layer as a SQLite database instead of plain text files. Every conversation captured losslessly via hooks,…
