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). It keeps your proprietary data completely local, and it actually learns over time.
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.
