Readme
memcrate
A portable, markdown-native, locally-owned personal context vault for AI tools. Three verbs. One vault. Any tool.
npm install -g memcrateThis package is a thin wrapper. On install it downloads the memcrate binary for your platform from GitHub Releases, verifies its published sha256, and puts it on your PATH. There are no dependencies.
Quick start
memcrate # asks where your vault goes, then sets everything upIt creates the vault and installs the /load, /save, and /pin skills for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Codex. Then start your tool and run /load.
What it is
Every AI coding tool eventually loses context. Sessions end, tools change, and each one has to be told from scratch what you are working on. Memcrate is a local markdown vault plus three verbs (/save, /pin, /load) that any AI tool can read and write. Your context lives in plain .md files you own.

"binary not found" means the install script did not run, usually because of --ignore-scripts or a script-blocking npm policy. Fix it with npm rebuild memcrate, or install via cargo or the shell one-liners above.
