Brethof-mind – local long-term memory for Claude Code (SurrealDB, no API) (github.com)

The introduction of "brethof-mind" enhances the capabilities of Claude Code by providing a local, persistent memory system that stores complete session histories without relying on API calls. This innovative solution utilizes SurrealDB to maintain both curated memory—which captures important decisions and notes—and a full chat archive that records all interactions. By enabling searchable access to this extensive history in three ways—full-text, vector, and graph—users can retrieve information without losing context, addressing the limitations of summarization models and ensuring that no relevant data is omitted between sessions. The significance of brethof-mind for the AI/ML community lies in its local-first approach, providing a 100% offline solution that eliminates the need for API keys and reduces dependency on external servers. This development not only enhances user privacy but also streamlines the workflow across multiple projects, enabling contextual continuity in conversations and effective information retrieval. With features like automated session hooks and robust archiving mechanisms, brethof-mind sets a new standard for memory handling in AI applications, pushing forward the integration of memory systems in machine learning environments.
