🧠 memvid-mind

Give Claude Code a memory. One file. That's it.

Installation • How it Works • Commands • FAQ

The Problem

You: "Hey Claude, remember when we fixed that auth bug?"

Claude: "I don't have memory of previous conversations."

You: "We literally spent 3 hours on this yesterday"

Claude: "I'd be happy to help you debug it from scratch!"

200K context window. Zero memory between sessions.

You're paying for a goldfish with a PhD.

Installation

claude plugin install memvid-mind

That's it. No config needed.

How it Works

After install, Claude remembers everything in one file:

your-project/
└── .claude/
    └── mind.mv2   # Claude's brain. That's it.

Next session:

You: "What did we decide about the auth system?"

Claude: "Last week we chose JWT over sessions because..."

What Gets Captured

| Event | What's Saved | |-------|--------------| | Session start | Loads relevant context from past sessions | | While working | File structures, decisions, bugs found, solutions | | Session end | Summary of what happened |

Why One File?

• git commit - version control Claude's memory
• scp - copy to another machine, it just works
• Share - instant context transfer to teammates

No database. No background service. No config.

Endless Mode

Claude hits context limits fast. This compresses tool outputs ~20x:

Before:  Read (8K) + Edit (4K) + Bash (12K) = 24K tokens gone
After:   Read (400) + Edit (200) + Bash (600) = 1.2K tokens

Keeps errors, structure, key functions. Drops the noise.

Commands

/mind search "authentication"     # find past context
/mind ask "why postgres?"         # ask your memory
/mind recent                      # what happened lately
/mind stats                       # how much is stored

FAQ

How big does the file get? ~1KB per memory. 1000 memories ≈ 1MB.

Privacy? Everything stays on your machine. Nothing uploaded.

Speed? Native Rust core. Sub-millisecond operations.

Reset? Delete .claude/mind.mv2 or run /mind clear.

Config (optional)

{
  "memoryPath": ".claude/mind.mv2",
  "maxContextObservations": 20,
  "endlessMode": true
}
