Projectmem Overview

projectmem provides a local-first persistent memory layer for AI coding agents, storing typed events like issues, failed attempts, fixes, and decisions in a repository's .projectmem directory. It integrates with AI agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and Codex via an MCP server exposing 15 tools. This memory is re-injected into future sessions to prevent repeating past mistakes and reduce token usage. It also installs git hooks to warn before committing repeated errors.
