Context decay is one of the most frustrating aspects of working with CLI coding agents. The moment a session ends, your LLM treats you like a total stranger.
To solve this without relying on external SaaS or complex vector DBs, I built Wife — an open-source, zero-dependency memory layer for Claude Code & OpenAI Codex.
Key Features:
Local & Plaintext: Stores facts in Markdown files you control.
Token Ceiling Management: Automatically evicts low-priority context when hitting limits (1200 tokens for user, 800 for project).
Contradiction Resolution: Updates old information instead of stacking conflicting statements.
Auditability: Easily trace where every learned fact came from.
Quick Start:
Bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ma-nucho-pro/wife/main/install.sh | bash
