rohitg00/agentmemory: README-based editorial guide

rohitg00/agentmemory describes itself in the README as "#1 Persistent memory for AI coding agents based on real-world benchmarks". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "README", the README says: Your coding agent remembers everything. No more re-explaining. Built on iii engine Persistent memory for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Hermes, OpenClaw, pi, OpenCode, and any MCP client.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "Codex CLI (Codex plugin platform)" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: 6 lifecycle hooks: SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PreCompact, Stop. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: @agentmemory/mcp as an MCP server (proxies all 54 tools when AGENTMEMORYURL points at a running agentmemory server; falls back to 7 tools locally when no server is reachable). It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "Install". The source evidence includes: On Windows the fast path is WSL2. Native Windows engine setup is manual (about 10 to 20 minutes) and agentmemory connect is currently unsupported there. See the Windows notes below for the step-by-step.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: npm install -g @agentmemory/agentmemory # once , bare `agentmemory` on PATH # If you hit EACCES on macOS/Linux system Node installs, retry with: # sudo npm install -g @agentmemory/agentmemory agentmemory # start the memory server on :3111 agentmemory demo # seed sample sessions + prove recall agentmemory demo --serve # one command: boot server, run demo, tear down (no second terminal) agentmemory conne When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Retrieval Accuracy" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
