SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MemoryLane tackles the challenge of losing project context across Claude Code sessions by storing memory locally and rehydrating it on demand, reducing repetitive explanations and API usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent memory categories (context, patterns, insights, learnings) that survive across sessions.
  • Automatic context compression and cost tracking to lower token costs.
  • Passive learning from commits and file edits with a privacy-first design.
  • Use Case: When starting a new coding session, recall decisions and project knowledge to accelerate development.

Quick Start

Use MemoryLane out of the box with Claude:

  • Check status: python3 src/cli.py status
  • Recall: python3 src/cli.py recall "<query>"
  • View insights: python3 src/cli.py insights
  • View costs: python3 src/cli.py costs

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce Claude API costs by storing project context locally?

MemoryLane stores project context, decisions, and patterns locally across Claude Code sessions, eliminating repetitive explanations and reducing token usage. Run `python3 src/cli.py recall "<query>"` to retrieve stored knowledge and lower API costs on subsequent interactions.

Can I maintain memory of project decisions and learnings between Claude CLI sessions?

Yes. MemoryLane persists memory categories—context, patterns, insights, and learnings—across sessions without manual setup. Context automatically rehydrates on demand, preserving project knowledge and accelerating development workflows.

How does MemoryLane track token savings and API usage costs?

MemoryLane compresses context automatically and logs cost metrics. Run `python3 src/cli.py costs` to view token savings, and `python3 src/cli.py insights` to see compressed learnings extracted from your work.

Does MemoryLane require configuration or setup to work with Claude Code?

No. MemoryLane works zero-config out of the box. Check status with `python3 src/cli.py status`, then start recalling context immediately—no dependencies or configuration files needed.

Can MemoryLane learn from my commits and file edits automatically?

Yes. MemoryLane passively learns from commits and file edits with a privacy-first design, building project knowledge without explicit input. Review extracted patterns with `python3 src/cli.py insights`.

What's the best way to accelerate a new coding session by recalling past project context?

Query MemoryLane's stored context at session start using `python3 src/cli.py recall "<query>"` to retrieve decisions and patterns. This eliminates re-explaining the project and reduces token costs while preserving continuity.
