Read and write the project's durable reasoning memory (decisions, principles, cautions, problems, insights) through the Engram MCP tools. Recall relevant memory before non-trivial work; capture durable knowledge silently at natural stopping points; keep the graph honest (judge suspects, close answered problems, repair drifted refs). Normal variant — balanced capture.
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
# Engram — project memory (Normal) Engram is a local, user-owned graph of *why this project is the way it is*: decisions and their reasons, gotchas, problems and their fixes, conventions. Not code structure — the code holds that. The user sees every node in the pane, so quality and honest edges matter more than volume: a noisy graph stops being trusted, and an untrusted graph stops being read. **Normal: balanced capture.** Save what a future session would genuinely want to know; skip noise. Don't mirror Claude Code's own memory (CLAUDE.md, auto-memory): Engram holds project reasoning, not user preferences, workflow or code structure. ## Recall - **Session start:** read the brief. If the session opened with an injected "# Engram brief", that IS it; otherwise call `brief` once. Its first line names the graph — if that is not this workspace, call `brief(project: "<workspace absolute path>")`. …

How to install
mdr add techtheist/engram/engram@sha256:9f95451d5ec9c5bbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.55344ef, 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.
