README
phorvec
**Claude Code forgets everything after `/compact`. Phorvec doesn't.** Local-first memory for coding agents — a single binary that saves your session before compaction and restores it on the next start. Fully local, no cloud account.
pip install phorvec && phorvec init --tool claude-code --hooks
This repo is for **issue tracking and discussion only**. Phorvec is a closed-source product distributed as signed binaries. The source code is not published here; this is where users, customers, and the curious go to file bugs, ask questions, and request features.
How it's different from other memory tools
- Survives
/compact. A hook pair auto-saves a distilled summary of your session before compaction (or exit) and injects a token-budgeted "here's what we decided and why" block at the start of the next session. It's a purpose-built fix for the compaction problem — not a generic vector DB. - A memory layer, not a raw vector store — hybrid dense + BM25 retrieval, consolidation, and temporal fact supersession.
- Your memory is yours (no lock-in) —
phorvec ingest --format chatgpt|markdown|mem0|obsidianimports what you already have, and the on-disk.avdbformat has a published open spec. - No tool-list bloat — a minimal 18-tool MCP preset by default; opt up to
standard/fullwhen you want the whole surface. - Local by default — no telemetry, offline after a one-time embedding-model
download; data stays in local
.avdbfiles.
Works with Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, VS Code (Copilot), OpenAI Codex, Aider, and any MCP client.
