The problem

Coding agents forget what they learned and repeat mistakes. Teams have no simple way to grow an agent’s knowledge safely over time.

What we built

  • A command-line tool that sets up memory, actions and guardrails for the agent you already run
  • Notes stored as plain markdown, grown through a loop where a human approves what the agent learns
  • Tracing with OpenTelemetry, host hooks that gate risky actions, and a web workbench
  • No runtime dependencies, MIT licence, published on npm

Stack

  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Markdown

Where it landed

  • Built in public since June 2026, with over a thousand commits
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and pi
