Token-efficient persistent memory system for Claude Code that saves ~67% tokens on session warm-up (verified with tiktoken). Layered architecture with progressive loading, compact encoding, branch-aware context, smart compression, session diffing, conflict detection, session continuation protocol, and recovery mode. Activates at session start (if MEMORY.md exists), on "remember this", "pick up where we left off", "what were we doing", "wrap up", "save progress", "don't forget…

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

# Memory Bank

An adaptive memory system that gives Claude Code persistent, intelligent
context across sessions — while cutting token waste so your sessions last
3-5x longer. Not a flat file — a layered architecture that compresses,
branches, diffs, self-heals, and loads only what matters.

---

## Core Architecture

Memory Bank operates on three layers:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Layer 2: GLOBAL MEMORY                     │
│  ~/.claude/GLOBAL-MEMORY.md                 │
│  Cross-project patterns, user preferences,  │
│  reusable decisions. Permanent.             │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Layer 1: PROJECT MEMORY                    │
│  ./MEMORY.md (+ branch overlays)            │
│  Architecture, decisions, active work.      │
│  Lives as long as the project.              │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Layer 0: SESSION CONTEXT                   │
│  In-conversation only.                      │
│  Current task focus, scratch notes.         │
│  Dies when session ends (persisted to L1).  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add josiahcrackle9631/memory-bank/memory-bank@sha256:9c22deed9fe99e63

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
