  memsearch

<strong>Cross-platform semantic memory for AI coding agents.</strong>

📰 What's New

• DeepSeek Harness support — MemSearch now brings automatic capture, pre-step memory injection, native skill-based recall, background maintenance, and a read-only memory browser to DeepSeek Harness (DSH).
• Skills from memory — MemSearch now distills the workflows you repeat into reusable, installable agent skills (a third "procedural memory" layer) and keeps them up to date in the background. See Skills from Memory.
• Advanced memory maintenance — optional background tasks keep durable PROJECT.md and USER.md notes current across sessions. See Advanced Memory Maintenance.

Why memsearch?

• 🌐 All Platforms, One Memory — memories flow across Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, OpenClaw, and OpenCode. A conversation in one agent becomes searchable context in all others — no extra setup
• 👥 For Agent Users, install a plugin and get persistent memory with zero effort; for Agent Developers, use the full CLI and Python API to build memory and harness engineering into your own agents
• 📄 Markdown is the source of truth — inspired by OpenClaw. Your memories are just .md files — human-readable, editable, version-controllable. Milvus is a "shadow index": a derived, rebuildable cache
• 🔍 Progressive retrieval, hybrid search, smart dedup, live sync — 3-layer recall (search → expand → transcript); dense vector + BM25 sparse + RRF reranking; SHA-256 content hashing skips unchanged content; file watcher auto-indexes in real time

🧑‍💻 For Agent Users

Pick your platform, install the plugin, and you're done. Each plugin captures conversations automatically and provides semantic recall with zero configuration.

<h3>For Claude Code Users</h3>

# Install
/plugin marketplace add zilliztech/memsearch
/plugin install memsearch
# Restart Claude Code to activate the plugin

After restarting, just chat with Claude Code as usual. The plugin captures every conversation turn automatically.

Verify it's working — after a few conversations, check your memory files:

ls .memsearch/memory/          # you should see daily .md files
cat .memsearch/memory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md

Recall memories — two ways to trigger:

/memory-recall what did we discuss about Redis?

Or just ask naturally — Claude auto-invokes the skill when it senses the question needs history:

We discussed Redis caching before, what was the TTL we chose?

<h3>For Codex Users</h3>

# Install
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zilliztech/memsearch.git
bash memsearch/plugins/codex/scripts/install.sh
codex --yolo  # needed for ONNX model network access

After installing, chat as usual. Hooks capture and summarize each turn.

Verify it's working:

ls .memsearch/memory/
