Persistent memory for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) and [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code). codemem captures what you work on across sessions, retrieves relevant context using hybrid search, and injects relevant context automatically in OpenCode.

• Local-first — everything lives in SQLite on your machine
• Hybrid retrieval — FTS5 BM25 lexical search + sqlite-vec semantic search, merged and re-ranked
• Automatic injection — the OpenCode plugin injects context into every prompt, no manual steps
• Claude Code plugin support — install from the codemem marketplace source
• Built-in viewer — browse memories, sessions, and observer output in a local web UI
• Peer-to-peer sync — replicate memories across machines without a central service

Quick start

**Prerequisites:** Node.js 24+ and npm (or pnpm)

OpenCode

1. Install the OpenCode plugin and MCP config:

npx -y codemem setup --opencode-only

1. Restart OpenCode.

The OpenCode plugin manages backend execution automatically — no separate global install is required.

1. Verify:

# Works on fresh installs (no global codemem needed)
npx -y codemem stats
npx -y codemem db raw-events-status

That's it. The plugin captures activity, builds memories, and injects context from here on.

If you want `codemem` available directly on your `PATH` for manual commands, install the CLI globally:

npm
