MemContinuum: open-source long-term decision memory for Claude Code projects
ShotPorter · reddit · 2026-09-08
A developer released MemContinuum (MIT, v0.2.0rc4), an open-source long-term decision memory system for Claude Code projects, addressing forgotten decisions, blind subagents, and reinvented solutions on long codebases.
Key design:
- Two linked layers: an indexed code map plus decision chains (what was decided, by whom, how it changed, rejected alternatives with reasons)
- Automatic reads: before an agent edits a file, the relevant decision chain is injected into its prompt
- Mandatory but moderated writes: the agent must answer a question; "nothing to record" is valid
- The orchestrator keeps records; subagents and external reviewers (Codex, Grok) propose via an inbox, records only after review
- Per-project, local: Markdown as source of truth, SQLite as a disposable index, no cross-project pollution
Native Swift/Python support, other languages via tree-sitter. Notably, the project itself was built by a multi-model team: Claude Code models as lead engineer/PM/reviewer/coder/tester, with Codex and Grok 4.6 as external reviewers.
