Persistent memory compression system built for Claude Code.

Claude-Mem seamlessly preserves context across sessions by automatically capturing tool usage observations, generating semantic summaries, and making them available to future sessions. This enables Claude to maintain continuity of knowledge about projects even after sessions end or reconnect.

Quick Start

Install claude-mem for Grok Bot:

Grok Bot has no host hooks, so we watch the chat log files. Default is CMEM Pro, the hosted memory. Local observer is opt-in: --provider host. Installing this plugin does not install Cursor.

Awareness push pilot (LFG + Orifice): needle observations (decision, bugfix, security_alert, sensitive) are appended as dated - YYYY-MM-DD [awareness] … lines into that bot's memory/log/YYYY-MM.md. Grok Bot already re-reads the log from disk. This does not write profile.md, user-memory, or project memory. Disable with CLAUDE_MEM_GROK_BOT_AWARENESS_ENABLED=false.

Install with a single command:

The installer sets everything up first, then asks you to sign in to claude-mem in your browser (email magic link — no card required). Signing in provisions a memory key for your account and unlocks the claude-mem observer with a 30 Day Free Trial: memory runs off-plan, so you get up to 100% more usage from your plan. When the free trial ends, memory automatically falls back to your Anthropic plan unless you subscribe. After sign-in you pick your memory provider — the claude-mem observer, your own OpenRouter or Gemini key, or your Anthropic plan.

Prefer to skip the sign-in? Pass an explicit --provider flag, set CLAUDE_MEM_ONLINE_OPTIN=false, or run in CI/non-interactive shells — the installer completes without any account interaction.

Or install for OpenCode:

This works with OpenCode 1.3.4 or later, including OpenCode 2. Restart OpenCode after installing.

Or install for T3 Code (Codex and Claude Code providers):

The installer discovers T3 Code's enabled providers, registers native Claude-Mem plugins in their configured homes, and supports T3-managed Codex. Restart T3 Code, trust the provider's hooks when prompted, and start a new thread. See the T3 Code integration guide for custom server settings, status, and removal.

Or install for Antigravity CLI (setup guide):

Or install for OMP (Oh My Pi):

Or install the native Pi extension or DeepSeek Harness plugin:

Pi and DeepSeek Harness use the worker runtime. See native harness setup for capture, recall, and troubleshooting.

Or install from the plugin marketplace inside Claude Code:

Restart Claude Code. Context from previous sessions will automatically appear in new sessions.

Note: Claude-Mem is also published on npm, but npm install -g claude-mem installs the SDK/library only — it does not register the plugin hooks or set up the worker service. Always install via npx claude-mem install or the /plugin commands above.

🦞 OpenClaw Gateway

Install claude-mem as a persistent memory plugin on OpenClaw gateways with a single command:

The installer handles dependencies, plugin setup, AI provider configuration, worker startup, and optional real-time observation feeds to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more. See the OpenClaw Integration Guide for details.

Key Features:

• 🧠 Persistent Memory - Context survives across sessions • 📊 Progressive Disclosure - Layered memory retrieval with token cost visibility • 🔍 Skill-Based Search - Query your project history with mem-search skill • 🖥️ Local My Work - Live requests, progress, human handoffs and a saved review queue at the worker URL printed on startup. Guide. Memory, sessions and settings remain at /viewer. • 👥 TeamBrain - An optional shared workspace beside My Work, with real team work lists, member attribution and linked findings. Each person chooses what to share; personal requests and review notes stay separate. Set up a team. • 💻 Claude Desktop Skill - Search memory from Claude Desktop conversations • 🔒 Privacy Control - Use tags to exclude sensitive content from storage • ⚙️ Context Configuration - Fine-grained control over what context gets injected • 🤖 Automatic Operation - No manual intervention required • 🔗 Citations - Reference past observations with IDs through the worker API or view all in the web viewer
