Memini Overview

lumayapartners/memini MCP server gives coding agents persistent, repository-scoped memory for failed attempts, fragile files, decisions, and deployment rules. It stores SQLite data and reviewable Markdown under `.memini/`, then uses hooks and MCP tools to warn or block risky edits before they occur. Git-aware file hashes mark outdated memories as stale, preventing them from triggering until re-verified. Reach for it when coding agents need local project context and enforced protection against repeating known mistakes.
