vshulcz/deja-vu: README-based editorial guide
A guide grounded in the README, repository metadata, and license for installing and checking vshulcz/deja-vu.
Project scope
vshulcz/deja-vu describes itself in the README as "Your agents already solved this. deja finds it , it indexes the sessions your coding agents already wrote to disk, months of history from before you installed it, and recalls them automatically at session start across seventeen harnesses.". 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 "Install", the README says: For desktop apps that install MCP servers as bundles, every release ships an .mcpb per platform , download it from the latest release and open it. The bundle carries the binary, so there is nothing else to install.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.
Suitable use cases
The README's "Shell completion" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: README 没有列出这一项具体能力。. 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: README 没有列出这一项具体能力。. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.
How it works
The operating model is spread across sections such as "Shell completion". The source evidence includes: Install also builds the index from the histories it finds, so the first agent session after it is instant rather than paying for the build. --no-index skips that for scripted installs; running deja with nothing indexed builds it too.. 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.
Installation and first run
Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshulcz/deja-vu/main/install.sh | sh When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Shell completion" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
