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 — context for Claude Code

**What this is:** a graph-based, durable, inspectable long-term project memory for AI coding assistants (Claude Code first). Local-first, user-owned, graph-first UI. The **reasoning/decision memory** layer (why/decided/what-bit-us) — not a code-structure graph; the wedge is the editable IDE-embedded graph pane + conflict surfacing + local. The line since 0.8.0: *the most powerful and feature-rich inspectable graph long-term memory for software development with AI agents, based on reproducible research.*

**THE GRAPH IS THE MEMORY OF RECORD — this file is only rules and a keyword index.** The session brief is auto-injected and opens with the **Current cycle** (open work stamped with the working version); `search` engram before any non-trivial work and follow the write-verdict protocol. Details, rationale, gotchas, and the full history live in this repo's graph (`.engram/graph.tepin`, daemon on 8787) and the eval workbench graph (`eval/.engram`, project `eval`, scientific ontology Claim/Method/Question/Finding/Source/Task). PLAN.md was retired 2026-08-04 (merged here); `PLAN §…` references in code comments point at git history.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techtheist/engram/CLAUDE.md@sha256:821c5eaa248900d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.f3cca94, 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.
