multi-agent-memory

Local-first, shared long-term memory for Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Claude Code, and other agent CLIs.

All agents can use the same human-readable Markdown Vault, including global preferences, project decisions, and reusable learnings. The SQLite index is only a rebuildable local search cache. There is no hosted service, telemetry, or automatic upload.

Install

Requires Python 3.11+. The recommended installation uses uv:

uv tool install multi-agent-memory
mam init
mam status

For one-off commands:

uvx --from multi-agent-memory mam status

Install an agent adapter

Install one adapter, all adapters, or choose interactively:

mam install --agent pi
mam install --all
mam install

You can also ask the current agent:

Install and configure multi-agent-memory for the current agent. Use uv tool install multi-agent-memory, preserve existing configuration, run mam init, install only the current agent's adapter with mam install --agent ..., run mam status, and tell me whether a restart is needed. Do not use sudo, overwrite unmanaged files, or read and upload complete transcripts, credentials, tokens, cookies, or private keys.

Supported adapters:

Restart the agent after installing or upgrading its adapter. Hermes and OpenClaw are not supported yet.

Everyday use

Ask a connected agent in natural language:

帮我总结这轮记忆
记住：使用中文沟通，回答先给结论
确认刚才那条记忆
忘掉关于部署方式的记忆
回忆关于这个项目的决策

Or use the CLI directly:

mam context
mam propose --type preferences --text "Use Chinese and lead with the conclusion."
mam search "deployment" --include-candidates
mam confirm MEMORY_ID
mam forget MEMORY_ID

New memories are candidates and do not affect recall until confirmed. mam forget marks a memory deprecated; it remains auditable.

Global and project memory

Global memories apply everywhere. Project memories apply when the agent is inside the matching Git checkout:

mam propose --type project \
  --text "Batch jobs must report resolved and unresolved items."

mam propose --type project --project my-app \
  --text "Database migrations must include a rollback plan."

mam context combines global memories with memories for the current project.

Vault and privacy

The Markdown Vault is the source of truth and can be opened in Obsidian. Set its location with environment variables:

export AGENT_MEMORY_VAULT="$HOME/Documents/Obsidian/AgentMemory"
export AGENT_MEMORY_STATE_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/multi-agent-memory"
mam init

Adapters recall confirmed memories automatically. They do not silently summarize arbitrary transcripts. Ask the agent to summarize a meaningful work cycle, or provide a summary file:

mam session-summary --file summary.md

Do not store or commit credentials, API keys, cookies, private keys, complete transcripts, the Vault, or the SQLite index. For permanent deletion, remove the Markdown note and rebuild the index:

mam rebuild-index

Upgrade

uv tool upgrade multi-agent-memory
mam install --all
mam status

If the tool was installed with an exact version pin, use:

uv tool install --force multi-agent-memory@latest

Upgrading does not delete the Vault or memories. Managed adapter files are backed up when replaced; unrelated configuration is preserved.
