        always-up-to-date codebase memory for Claude Code Β· ask, don't re-read

Live Memory β€” Claude Code plugin

A cheap, always-on model that learns your repo β€” so your agent stops re-reading it. Live Memory runs a separate, cheap large-context model as a long-lived MCP server that accumulates knowledge of your codebase across sessions. Instead of re-reading the same files every session, your agent asks one read-only tool, ask_live_memory, the broad-understanding questions β€” "where is X, how does Y work, what calls Z" β€” and Live Memory answers in a way that bootstraps the primary agent to start doing productive work (e.g., edits). It learns passively from your agent's own reads and edits (teed via hooks β€” no extra reading) and stays current as the repo changes (modifications and deletions). Read-only and path-jailed (it can never edit, create, or run anything); zero-config on a Claude subscription (Haiku, no API key); the memory model is pluggable β€” point it at a local model or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Live Memory answering a question from accumulated memory β€” zero files re-read by the agent

How it works

mermaid

  repo[("Your repo")]
  subgraph sessions["Claude Code sessions β€” premium model (many, over time)"]
    agent["Agent"]
  end
  agent -->|"reads / edits files"| repo
  agent -. "PostToolUse / FileChanged hooks<br/>tee file content β€” passive learning (free)" .-> lm
  agent ==>|"ask_live_memory(question, cwd)<br/>one read-only MCP tool"| lm
  lm ==>|"grounded answer β€” no file re-reading"| agent
  subgraph server["Live Memory β€” one MCP server per workspace (singleton)"]
    lm["Cheap / local large-context model<br/>+ accumulating context window<br/>append-only Β· neutral compaction to a ledger"]
    lm --> snap[("Local JSON snapshot<br/>persists across sessions")]
  end

Your agent reads or edits files as usual; hooks quietly tee that content to the server so it learns for free. When the agent needs to understand something, it asks ask_live_memory instead of re-reading β€” the server answers from its accumulated, per-workspace memory (or reads the code itself, read-only, if it hasn't seen it yet). One server serves every session and persists across sessions.

Benchmarks

A/B on a real repo, cost per task, run to completion. Cost is shown three ways: the premium (building) model's bill β€” what your expensive model spends, since the companion runs on a cheap or local model β€” and all-in, also counting the companion's own cost on DeepSeek-v4-flash or Haiku:

per taskpremium-model billall-in Β· DeepSeek-flash†all-in Β· Haikufaster
Understanding-heavy (trace / comprehend)βˆ’61%βˆ’57%βˆ’25%~22%
Hybrid (understand-then-edit: bug fixes + features)βˆ’28%βˆ’26%βˆ’11%~11%
Pure edit / execution~break-even~break-even~break-even~0

Understanding-heavy work also offloads ~93% of the premium model's codebase-reading tokens (with lower cost variance), and correctness never regressed on the hybrid tasks (12/12 passed with and without it). DeepSeek-v4-flash matched Haiku's answer accuracy (98% vs 91% over 3 reps) at ~8Γ— lower token price; a local companion is β‰ˆ free, so all-in β‰ˆ the premium-model bill. Fully reproducible + audited (human + Fable). Full numbers + methodology: benchmark/results/RESULTS.md.

† companion re-priced at DeepSeek-v4-flash rates (~8Γ— cheaper than Haiku); exact for the understanding case, derived from the measured cost ratio for the hybrid case.

Lineage: Live Memory began as a feature of shofer.dev (Arkware's parallel multi-agent coding platform), where sessions share an in-sync codebase memory. This is that idea as a standalone Claude Code plugin β€” a fresh implementation, self-contained, with no dependency on shofer. Part of the shofer Claude Code plugin family (with slang-workflows). Design: DESIGN.md Β· How it compares to Copilot/Cursor: COMPARISON.md Β· Testing: TESTING.md Β· Privacy: PRIVACY.md.

Quickstart

live-memory is an HTTP MCP server you run once (a singleton that serves every Claude Code session) plus a plugin that registers ask_live_memory, the hooks, and the slash commands. Start the server first β€” Claude Code only connects to it (it never spawns it), so if it isn't running you'll get a connection error.

1 β€” Start the server (zero-config on a Claude subscription β†’ Haiku; no API key needed):

bash
git clone https://github.com/shofer-dev/claude-code-live-memory
cd claude-code-live-memory/deploy && ./install-service.sh   # venv + user systemd service, auto-starts on boot
# …or just run it in a terminal:
#   cd claude-code-live-memory/server && pip install -e . && python -m live_memory

2 β€” Install the plugin (inside a Claude Code session):

Code
/plugin marketplace add shofer-dev/claude-code-live-memory
/plugin install live-memory@shofer-live-memory

Ask your agent a whole-repo question β€” it'll call ask_live_memory instead of reading files. /live-memory-stats shows accumulated knowledge + cost Β· /live-memory-config switches model/provider Β· /live-memory-empty wipes memory Β· /live-memory-reset starts a workspace over with its configured preload docs re-loaded. Providers, systemd, workspaces, and concurrency are detailed below.
