Mindswap README
The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the Mindswap listing page.
mindswap
Keep project context and personal AI memory local so tools can continue work without re-explaining the same context.
Why it exists
AI sessions reset too often. mindswap saves the current task, decisions, blockers, and handoff context so the next tool can pick up cleanly.

Global personal memory
MindSwap now supports two local memory scopes:
- repo memory in
<repo>/.mindswap/ - personal memory in
~/.mindswap/
Use global memory when a preference or learning should follow you across projects and tools.
MCP and AI tools
mindswap generates context for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Aider, Amp, Gemini CLI, and AGENTS.md-based workflows.
Project state
The main repo data lives in .mindswap/:
npm package
Use it
If mindswap helps your workflow, star the repo and keep improving the handoff loop.
