Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# mem — cavemem, durable agent memory (Go core + clients, Apache-2.0)

Durable, cross-session memory: `remember` / `recall` / `supersede` / `history` / `forget`. A local SQLite store holds the
**raw** memories (the source of truth); recall ranks them with deterministic **BM25** behind a
conservative threshold and compresses each hit through the [engine](../engine/CLAUDE.md) so the
inferred token cost is honest and the dropped detail stays recoverable via CCR. Everything is
`inferred`.

## Layout
- `store.go` — `Remember`/`Recall`/`Supersede`/`History`/`Forget`/`Recover` over SQLite + engine; legacy schemas migrate in place.
- `bm25.go` — deterministic tokenizer + BM25 scorer (non-negative scores, so the threshold is meaningful).
- `cmd/cavemem/` — MCP server + `remember`/`recall`/`supersede`/`history`/`forget` CLI subcommands (JSON).
- `js/` + `py/` — thin TS and Python clients that shell out to the binary (mirrored libraries; they reimplement nothing).

## The cavemem_* MCP tools
`cavemem_remember(text)` · `cavemem_recall(query, limit?, token_budget?)` ·
`cavemem_supersede(id, text)` · `cavemem_history(id)` · `cavemem_forget(id)`,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add juliusbrussee/caveman/mem/AGENTS.md@sha256:679f52dcaab2f33f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.921eab8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
