RepoMem: Giving Coding Agents Long-Term Memory from Git History to Improve Bug Localization
burkov · x · 2026-11-13
LLM-powered agents are increasingly used to diagnose and fix bugs in large codebases, but a key bottleneck is code localization — pinpointing the exact files and entities to change.
Existing tools approach every issue from scratch with no prior knowledge, while experienced engineers rely on accumulated memory of past changes, recurring bug patterns, and frequently modified modules.
The article presents RepoMem, an architecture that augments agentic frameworks with long-term memory built from a repository's version control history, aiming to significantly improve localization accuracy.
