About dat999zx/knowl

Persistent memory layer for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. It stores typed, sourced facts in a local SQLite database and retires them when they change. No API keys required; written in TypeScript.

Best for

Developers using multiple coding agents who want a shared, local memory store

Use cases

  • Give Claude Code long-term project context across sessions
  • Let Cursor remember recurring constraints and preferences
  • Maintain a sourced fact base for Codex that updates when facts change

Notes

99 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-09-21. Licensed Apache-2.0.

Pros

  • Runs locally with SQLite, no external services
  • Facts include types and sources for traceability
  • Automatically retires stale facts when they change

Cons

  • Small project with 99 stars, so limited adoption
  • Requires TypeScript toolchain and manual integration
  • Project appears community-maintained, not an official tool
