timgordontg/engrim
The Universal Cross-Model Episodic Memory Standard. Local-first, project-scoped SQLite engine for Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Zero cloud lock-in.
About the project
Local-first SQLite episodic memory engine for AI coding agents: stores decisions, constraints and project state so context survives switching between models and environments (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity).
Useful for
- Save project architectural decisions to memory before clearing the agent session
- Switch from Claude Code to Cursor and reload accumulated project context
- Configure automatic agent decision logging via MCP hooks

Star trust
Unusual star pattern. The magnitude is lowered, not zeroed:
- Stars arrived in one batch on a single day (188) and stopped right after: 19 over the next two days. Real interest usually fades gradually.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
