For Agent Users

Pick your platform, install the plugin, and you're done. memsearch captures conversations, indexes them, and recalls relevant context — all automatically.

What can you use it for?

  • Resume debugging threads — ask how a similar Redis, Docker, database, or deployment issue was fixed last time.
  • Recover decision rationale — find why the project chose one architecture, library, migration path, or API design over another.
  • Trace feature history — understand how a feature evolved across sessions, including the files changed and tradeoffs discussed.
  • Do code archaeology — ask when and why a module, config, or workflow was changed before touching it again.
  • Find the right session to resume — ask which previous conversation covered a topic, recover the relevant context, and continue from there.
  • Carry context across agents — keep Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and OpenCode working from the same project memory.

What Happens Automatically

Once installed, the plugin handles everything:

When What
Session starts Recent memories injected as context
Each turn ends Conversation summarized and saved to daily .md
You ask about history Agent searches memory via built-in tools/skill

How Recall Works (3 Layers)

Plugins use progressive disclosure — the agent decides how deep to go:

  1. L1 (search) — find relevant chunks via semantic + keyword hybrid search
  2. L2 (expand) — get full markdown sections around a match
  3. L3 (transcript) — drill into the original conversation for exact dialogue

Simple questions stop at L1. Complex questions go deeper.

Each platform adapts the same architecture to its own plugin system:
