**The Universal Cross-Model & Cross-Agent Episodic Memory Store.**

A local-first, project-scoped SQLite memory engine that allows developers to freely switch between models and environments (**Google Antigravity**, **Claude Code**, **Cursor MCP**, **Windsurf**) on the **SAME** project without losing architectural decisions, user constraints, or project state.

1. The Core Value Proposition

**"Why pay for 200,000 tokens of forgotten noise on every turn? The models are disposable utilities; your project's decisions are not."**

As context windows scale to 1M+ tokens, developers face **attention dilution**: reasoning degrades, cost multiplies with every conversational turn, and clearing context causes total amnesia.

`engrim` replaces attention dilution with **4,000 characters of curated episodic working memory**:

Switzerland of AI Memory: Decouples project intelligence from any single AI vendor or proprietary cloud silo. Switch from Gemini 3.8 in Antigravity to Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Claude Code to Codex CLI mid-project — your agents pick up right where the others left off.
Save Button for Autonomous Coding: Externalize decisions, constraints, and state as you work. The connected AI agents (Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Codex CLI) can automatically write to memory via MCP tools when they make architectural decisions, or you can manually save them (engrim add). Clear your agent session freely (/clear) and watch context reload intact.
