    • Use for enhancing AI agents with persistent, searchable memory across sessions and model changes.
    • Use for managing and compressing large volumes of agent-generated knowledge in a lightweight, file-based structure.

    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Permanent memory for AI agents. A 426-token prompt, a script, plug and play.

    It prints a ## Memory block. Paste that at the top of your agent's AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md), and you are done. Run the same line again to update.

    The tool lands at ~/.optmem/memo; put ~/.optmem on PATH to type memo.

    Merges arrive one at a time, in the output of note. Nothing ever runs in the background.
