Building an External Memory Layer for Claude Code
foric0 · reddit · 2026-07-19
After losing an entire Claude Code session to a MacBook power outage, the author pivoted to building an open-source project called Agent Magnet MCP.
The core goal is to store "memory" outside the context window, saving it across sessions and platforms while using compressed action logs to minimize token consumption. The project also supports team memory, with the ultimate vision of creating a Git-like workflow for AI memory. The author mentions incorporating suggestions like tree-sitter and graph structures, and invites constructive feedback from those with similar experience.
