Daily GitHub Project Recommendation: Claude-Mem —— The “Ultimate Brain” for Giving Claude Code Persistent Memory!

When using AI programming assistants, have you ever been frustrated by losing context when switching conversations? Today’s recommendation, Claude-Mem, is a powerful tool designed specifically to solve this pain point. It is a persistent memory plugin built for Claude Code that automatically captures, compresses, and recalls all operation records during your programming process.

Project Highlights

  • 🧠 Cross-Session Persistent Memory: Claude-Mem automatically records Claude’s tool usage and observations within coding sessions. Even if you close the terminal or start a new session, previous project context and decision logic can be seamlessly injected, achieving true “logical continuity.”
  • 📊 Progressive Context Disclosure: To save on expensive token costs, it employs a clever three-tier retrieval mode (Search Index -> View Timeline -> Get Detailed Observations). This strategy allows Claude to obtain the most accurate historical information at the lowest cost, improving token efficiency by approximately 10x.
  • 🖥️ Visual Management Interface: The project features a built-in Web Viewer (default port 37777). You can view the memory stream in real-time via your browser, intuitively managing and retrieving every past observation record.
  • 🔒 Privacy and Control: It supports using <private> tags to exclude sensitive content and provides fine-grained configuration options, giving you full control over what information is stored in the database.
  • 🚀 High Community Popularity: The project has already garnered over 20,000 stars, with over 1,700 new stars added in a single day, making it a trending enhancement tool within the current Claude ecosystem.

Technical Details and Use Cases

Claude-Mem is developed based on TypeScript, utilizing SQLite for structured data storage and combining with the Chroma vector database for hybrid semantic search. It is suitable not only for the long-term maintenance of large-scale projects but also for complex development tasks requiring frequent switching between different modules.

Its core workflow is driven by five lifecycle hooks (such as SessionStart, PostToolUse, etc.), ensuring that knowledge accumulation and organization happen silently in the background without interfering with your normal coding.

How to Start

Simply enter the following commands in your Claude Code terminal for a quick installation:

> /plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
> /plugin install claude-mem

After installation, restart Claude Code, and it will automatically begin recording every brilliant moment.
