# agent-knowledge

This plugin keeps project knowledge across sessions and searches past assistant histories. Use it when decisions and debugging context need to carry forward.

## What it does

agent-knowledge keeps a Markdown knowledge vault that syncs through Git. Its search combines semantic similarity with TF-IDF, while a second system searches session histories from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Aider, Continue.dev, Cline, and OpenCode. The supported tool roots are discovered automatically.

Claude Code gets a `/knowledge` pane beside the conversation. Six MCP tools cover knowledge lookup, session access, graph traversal, analysis, and administration. The plugin also includes confidence decay, stale-entry checks based on changed files, session distillation with secret scrubbing, and a typed knowledge graph. Extra session roots can be supplied through `AGENT_KNOWLEDGE_EXTRA_SESSION_ROOTS`. Node >= 20 is required by the project.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-knowledge@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- carry architecture decisions into later sessions
- search earlier discussions across coding assistants
- assemble project context before a new session
- spot knowledge entries affected by changed files
- connect code elements through a knowledge graph

## Example prompts
- Open `/knowledge` and find the earlier decision about authentication setup.
- Prepare a context bundle for the next session, including recent project decisions.
- Search session history for the error in `src/api` and return related knowledge entries.

**Cross-session memory and recall for AI coding assistants** -- works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Cline, Continue.dev, and Aider out of the box. Git-synced knowledge base, hybrid semantic+TF-IDF search, auto-distillation with secrets scrubbing.

**Benchmark:** **R@5 = 97.2% (sparse) / 98.8% (hybrid)** on `longmemeval_s` and **86.0% (sparse) / 88.4% (hybrid)** on the harder `longmemeval_m` split — the public LongMemEval academic benchmark (Wu et al. 2024, ICLR 2025), full 500 questions per split, no LLM, no API key, runs entirely offline. **+8.6pp to +13.2pp R@5 over the paper's official `flat-bm25` baseline** in apples-to-apples reproduction. Full per-category table, reproduction instructions, and paper-comparison details in [`bench/README.md`](bench/README.md).

In Claude Code, the agent-knowledge plugin adds the `/knowledge` pane: the knowledge base beside the conversation. How it works, with pictures: [the user manual](docs/USER-MANUAL.md#4-the-knowledge-pane).

## Why

AI coding sessions are ephemeral. When a session ends, everything it learned -- architecture decisions, debugging insights, project context -- is gone. The next session starts from scratch.

**agent-knowledge** solves this with two complementary systems:

1. **Knowledge Base** -- a git-synced markdown vault of structured entries (decisions, workflows, project context) that persists across sessions and machines.
2. **Session Search** -- TF-IDF ranked full-text search across session transcripts from all your coding tools, so agents can recall what happened before -- regardless of which tool was used.

## Supported Tools

Sessions from all major AI coding assistants are auto-discovered -- if a tool is installed, its sessions appear automatically.

| Tool             | Format         | Auto-detected path                                              |
| ---------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Claude Code**  | JSONL          | `~/.claude/projects/`                                           |
| **Cursor**       | JSONL          | `~/.cursor/projects/*/agent-transcripts/`                       |
| **Codex CLI**    | JSONL          | `~/.codex/projects/`                                            |
| **Aider**        | Markdown/JSONL | `.aider.chat.history.md` / `.aider.llm.history` in project dirs |
| **Continue.dev** | JSON           | `~/.continue/projects/`                                         |
| **Cline**        | JSON           | VS Code globalStorage `saoudrizwan.claude-dev/tasks/`           |
| **OpenCode**     | SQLite         | `~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db` (or `$OPENCODE_DATA_DIR`) |

No configuration needed. Additional session roots can be added via the `AGENT_KNOWLEDGE_EXTRA_SESSION_ROOTS` env var (comma-separated paths).

## Features

- **Host-agnostic session search** -- unified search across every major AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Aider, Continue.dev, Cline, OpenCode). No host name is baked into configuration — the adapter registry probes installed host roots at startup.
- **Hybrid search** -- semantic vector similarity blended with TF-IDF keyword ranking
- **Git-synced knowledge base** -- markdown vault with YAML frontmatter, auto commit and push on writes
