kitfunso / hippo-memory
Stop re-teaching your agent. Make your agent's memory work like a brain. Hippo is long-term memory for coding agents. It's a critical layer for your AI harness that connects across your different tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex). Local-first. Measured: about half the repeat mistakes of built-in memory alone, at the same cost.
Why this job: says: long term memory; topics: agent-memory, ai-memory, long-term-memory, memory, llm-memory
What it does
- Keeps errors longer. Tag a failure with --tag error and it gets twice the half-life of an ordinary memory, so the lesson is still in the store the next time a recall matches it. In Claude Code, a hook stores failed tool calls as error memor
- Survives tool switches. Use Claude Code on Monday, Cursor on Tuesday, Codex on Wednesday. They all read the same .hippo/ store, so the memories come with you.
- Ingests systems of record. Slack and GitHub today (POST /v1/connectors/slack/events, POST /v1/connectors/github/events). Jira and Notion next. Webhooks land as kind='raw' memories with full provenance and GDPR-correct deletion.
- Knows where every memory came from. Every row carries kind, scope, owner, and artifact_ref. Right-to-be-forgotten is a single API call, not an audit nightmare.
- Plays nice with multi-tenant. API keys, scrypt-hashed. Audit log on every mutation. Tenant A literally cannot see tenant B's memories. Proven by negative test.
