Stop re-teaching your agent.
Make your agent's memory work like a brain. Hippo is long-term memory for coding agents. It's a critical layer for your AI harness that connects across your different tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex). It keeps your proprietary data completely local, and it actually learns over time. By strengthening memories each time they are recalled, Hippo preserves what works, lets mistakes decay, and continuously compounds your agents' intelligence.
Stop re-teaching your agent. Make your agent's memory work like a brain. Hippo is long-term memory for coding agents. It's a critical layer for your AI harness that connects across your different tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex). Local-first. Measured: about half the repeat mistakes of built-in memory alone, at the same cost.
Hippo keeps your coding agents' memories in a SQLite store on your machine, with markdown mirrors you can read and commit. Search is BM25 out of the box, with no model and no network call; embeddings are an optional install. hippo init installs hooks for Claude Code and OpenCode, adds 2 hooks to Codex's hooks.json when Codex is installed (Codex runs them once you trust them in /hooks), and adds instructions to an existing AGENTS.md for Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Pi. Any MCP client can connect. Mark a memory wrong and it ranks lower; run hippo supersede and the old fact leaves recall. Zero runtime deps.
Install it, then run hippo init inside one project. Init creates the project's .hippo/ store and adds a block to the CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md already there. On your machine it adds hooks for the agents it finds, such as Claude Code's in ~/.claude/settings.json, and a daily 6:15am run. What hippo init changes lists all of it and the flags that skip each part.
npm install -g hippo-memory && hippo init
Setting up every git repo under a folder in one go is a second step. The Quick start says what it changes, then gives the command.
Package installation alone does not enable automatic preservation on every agent. Complete the documented setup and required host trust; capture and compaction coverage depend on the integration.
Having an AI agent install it? Point it at llms-install.md: it installs, wires hippo into the agents it finds, and verifies with hippo doctor.
Works with: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Pi, any MCP client
Imports from: ChatGPT, Claude (CLAUDE.md), Cursor (.cursorrules), Slack, markdown
Storage: SQLite backbone with markdown mirrors. Git-trackable, human-readable.
Dependencies: Zero runtime deps. Node.js 22.16+. Optional embeddings: bring-your-own local Transformers.js (`npm i @huggingface/transformers`, or legacy `@xenova/transformers`) or an opt-in API embedder (OpenAI/Voyage/Cohere). Nothing is auto-installed.

Most "AI memory" systems save everything and search later. That's storage with search on top. A note that turned out wrong ranks the same as one that held up, and an old fact sits beside the one that replaced it.
Hippo learns from outcomes. When a recalled memory turns out wrong, mark it bad and it drops out of the top results. Memories you keep using get stronger. Those two are the parts we measured helping retrieval, on a synthetic test (mechanism audit, round 2). When a fact changes, run hippo supersede and the old version leaves recall; we have not measured whether that helps. The design borrows from the hippocampus (decay, three layers, sleep consolidation), but that is inspiration. In our tests, decay tied with decay switched off and sleep lowered recall (Benchmarks).
It also fixes the portability problem. Your ChatGPT memories don't travel to Claude. Your .cursorrules don't travel to Codex. Hippo is one store behind every agent. CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, ChatGPT exports, Slack history, all in one SQLite store, all queryable from any tool that speaks MCP or HTTP.
Numbers, not adjectives. Every claim links to the benchmark or the test that proves it.
Every measurement we have ever published is indexed in docs/evals/,
pre-registrations kept next to their results, including the runs that failed and the one
claim we retracted.
hippo recall "<query>" --reranker jev, the free local cross-encoder against Jev (full eval). The opt-in TypeSafe Jev reranker, off by default, about 0.0004 USD a recall. 2000-draw paired bootstrap; the margin held in 20 of 20 seeds and a permutation null reached it in 0 of 200 runs. Ranking only: three graded tests on one 150-question LongMemEval set did not show a better answer rate than the free local cross-encoder, and that negative result is in the same doc. What it buys today is a shorter context: on that set, 2 memories ranked by Jev answered as well as 5 ranked by the cross-encoder.globalThis.fetch spy that throws on call, not a hardcoded zero. Recall makes no network call by default. One default does: hippo sleep sends memory text to Anthropic for fact extraction when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set. Sleep runs at the end of every Claude Code and OpenCode session and in the daily job, so with the key set the call happens without you asking. {"extraction":{"enabled":false}} in .hippo/config.json turns that off. Opt-in features such as the Jev reranker above, the LLM reranker and the API embedders also call out.benchmarks/micro/results/b3-depth.json.--tag error and it gets twice the half-life of an ordinary memory, so the lesson is still in the store the next time a recall matches it. In Claude Code, a hook stores failed tool calls as error memories for you..hippo/ store, so the memories come with you.POST /v1/connectors/slack/events, POST /v1/connectors/github/events). Jira and Notion next. Webhooks land as kind='raw' memories with full provenance and GDPR-correct deletion.kind, scope, owner, and artifact_ref. Right-to-be-forgotten is a single API call, not an audit nightmare.Start in one project. What hippo init changes lists everything the second command writes.
npm install -g hippo-memory
# In a project: create its store and wire in the agents it uses
hippo init
Optional: many repos at once. Read what it changes first. hippo init --scan <folder> looks for git repos in the folder and up to three levels below it, skipping dot-folders and node_modules. Each repo gets a .hippo/ store, seeded with lessons from the last 365 days of its commits and with its agent memories, and is added to the daily run's list. For the agents it finds, it installs the same user-level hooks as hippo init: 7 Claude Code hook entries in ~/.claude/settings.json and the OpenCode plugin. It also sets up the daily 6:15am run, a crontab line on Linux and macOS or a scheduled task on Windows. It adds no block to any repo's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. --no-hooks, --no-schedule and --no-learn leave out the hooks, the daily run and the history import.
hippo init --scan ~
After setup, hippo sleep runs when a Claude Code or OpenCode session ends, and in the daily 6:15am job for every project. Codex runs it at session end only if you installed its wrapper. It does five things:
# Manual usage
hippo remember "FRED cache silently dropped the tips_10y series" --tag error
hippo recall "data pipeline issues" --budget 2000

Run hippo init inside one project. This is everything it writes, in the project and on your machine:
.hippo/ folder: SQLite plus markdown mirrors. On the first run in a git repo it learns lessons from the last 30 days of commits.and in the project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, only if that file already exists. Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, OpenCode and Pi read AGENTS.md.CLAUDE.md or .claude/settings.json: 7 hook entries in ~/.claude/settings.json, one each on SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, PostCompact and PostToolUseFailure and two on SessionStart. Framework Integrations says what each one runs..opencode/ or opencode.json: a plugin at ~/.config/opencode/plugins/hippo.ts.AGENTS.md or .codex and Codex is installed ($CODEX_HOME, else ~/.codex, exists): 2 hook entries in Codex's hooks.json, one on UserPromptSubmit that sends your pinned memories plus up to 5 that match the prompt with every prompt and one on SessionStart after a compaction. Codex runs them only after you trust them once in /hooks. Init also prints hippo hook install codex, the opt-in that wraps the Codex launcher to capture sessions; hippo hook uninstall codex removes hippo's hooks and the wrapper.hippo-daily-runner on Windows. It runs hippo learn --git --days 1 and then hippo sleep in every project listed in ~/.hippo/workspaces.json, and init adds this project to that list.cd my-project
hippo init
# Initialized Hippo at /my-project/.hippo
# Directories: buffer/ episodic/ semantic/ conflicts/
# Files: hippo.db stats.json
# Auto-installed claude-code hook in CLAUDE.md
# Auto-installed hippo session-end SessionEnd hook in claude-code settings
# (one line per hook entry)
# Scheduled machine-level daily runner (6:15am) via crontab
To leave parts out: --no-hooks skips the instruction files and hooks, --no-schedule the daily run, and --no-learn the git history and agent memory import. HIPPO_SKIP_AUTO_INTEGRATIONS=1 skips the same files and hooks that --no-hooks does, and HIPPO_SKIP_SCHEDULE=1 skips the daily run as --no-schedule does.
Most coding agents now keep their own notes between sessions. Hippo reads them, whatever the tool, so what one agent learned reaches the others. It reads files only and never writes to another tool's folders.
When: hippo init (every run), init --scan, init --global, hippo setup, every hippo sleep and the daily run. At session end a folder with its own store gets it through sleep; a folder without one sends its project's notes to the global store, marked with the project's name. After a Claude Code compaction, the session's own notes folder is read as well.
What is read, per tool (each tool's own environment variables and settings decide where its home is):
~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/ (front matter required, MEMORY.md skipped), and the autoMemoryDirectory folder from your user settings.~/.codex/memories/memory_summary.md.~/.gemini/GEMINI.md, and the project's auto memory folder when that feature is on.MEMORY.md.Each imported memory follows its note. It stays while the note exists, is replaced when the note changes, and is set aside as dormant when the note is deleted (hippo dormant lists it and can restore it). A note shorter than 10 characters, one that looks like it holds a secret (an API key, a password, an auth header or a token), and one whose text you rejected with hippo reject are skipped. Email addresses are stored masked, and notes are cut at 1,500 characters.
Not read: Windsurf (the file format is not documented, and Cascade reached end of life on 1 July 2026); Cursor, Copilot CLI and GitHub's Copilot Memory (the memories live on the vendor's servers); Kiro (the local store is not documented); Cline and Roo memory banks (files in the repository, which hippo import --markdown covers); Amp, Aider, Continue, OpenCode and pi (no memory feature found).
hippo import --agents runs the import by hand; in a folder without a store it does what session end does there. With --dry-run it shows each tool's home, the folders found and what would change, and writes nothing. To choose tools, set "agentMemories": { "tools": ["claude-code", "codex"] } in .hippo/config.json ([] turns the import off), or HIPPO_AGENT_MEMORY_TOOLS=claude-code,codex in the environment (none turns it off), which wins over config.
Your memories shouldn't be locked inside one tool. Hippo pulls them in from anywhere.
# ChatGPT memory export
hippo import --chatgpt memories.json
# Claude's CLAUDE.md (skips existing hippo hook blocks)
hippo import --claude CLAUDE.md
# Cursor rules
hippo import --cursor .cursorrules
# Any markdown file (headings become tags)
hippo import --markdown MEMORY.md
# Any text file
hippo import --file notes.txt
All import commands support --dry-run (preview without writing), --global (write to ~/.hippo/), and --tag (add extra tags). Duplicates are detected and skipped automatically.
Extract memories from raw conversation text. No LLM needed: pattern-based heuristics find decisions, rules, errors, and preferences.
# Pipe a conversation in
cat session.log | hippo capture --stdin
# Or point at a file
hippo capture --file conversation.md
# Preview first
hippo capture --file conversation.md --dry-run
Hippo accepts Slack Events API webhooks at POST /v1/connectors/slack/events. Configure SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET (validated on every request) and point Slack at https://<your-host>/v1/connectors/slack/events. Messages land as kind='raw' memories with slack://team/channel/ts provenance and a slack:public:Cxxx or slack:private:Cxxx scope. Source deletions are honored (GDPR).
Backfill an existing channel: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-... hippo slack backfill --channel C0000. Inspect malformed events: hippo slack dlq list.
Multi-workspace deployments populate slack_workspaces (team_id, tenant_id) to route events per tenant; single-workspace falls back to HIPPO_TENANT.
Long-running work needs short-term continuity, not just long-term memory. Hippo can persist the current in-flight task so a later continue has something concrete to recover.

--task "Ship SQLite backbone" \
--summary "Tests/build/smoke are green, next slice is active-session recovery" \
--next-step "Implement active snapshot retrieval in context output"
hippo snapshot show
hippo context --auto --budget 1500
hippo snapshot clear
hippo context --auto includes the active task snapshot before long-term memories, so agents get both the immediate thread and the deeper lessons.
Manual snapshots are useful, but real work also needs a breadcrumb trail. Hippo can now store short session events and link them to the active snapshot so context output shows the latest steps, not just the last summary.

hippo session show --id sess_20260326
hippo context --auto --budget 1500
Hippo mirrors the latest trail to .hippo/buffer/recent-session.md so you can inspect the short-term thread without opening SQLite.
When you're done for the day (or switching to another agent), create a handoff so the next session knows exactly where to pick up:
hippo handoff create \
--summary "Finished schema migration, tests green" \
--next "Wire handoff injection into context output" \
--session sess_20260403 \
--artifact src/db/index.ts
hippo handoff latest # show the most recent handoff
hippo handoff show 3 # show a specific handoff by ID
hippo session resume # re-inject latest handoff as context
Working memory is a bounded scratchpad for current-state notes. It's separate from long-term memory. Entries stay until you run hippo wm flush.
hippo wm push --scope repo \
--content "Investigating flaky test in store.test.ts, line 42" \
--importance 0.9
hippo wm read --scope repo # show current working notes
hippo wm clear --scope repo # wipe the scratchpad
hippo wm flush --scope repo # flush on session end
The buffer holds a maximum of 20 entries per scope. When full, the lowest-importance entry is evicted.
See why a memory was returned:
hippo recall "data pipeline" --why --limit 5
# --- mem_a1b2c3 [episodic] [observed] [local] score=0.847
# BM25: matched [data, pipeline]; cosine: 0.82
# ...memory content...
Input enters the buffer. Important things get encoded into episodic memory. During "sleep," related episodes are merged into one semantic memory, by word overlap. Weak memories decay and disappear.
The store is SQLite (.hippo/hippo.db). The markdown files are mirrors written after each change. index.json is no longer refreshed by writes, deletes or recalls: it is written only when you call rebuildIndex() from the package, so a copy an older version left on disk goes stale. Read the store through the CLI, the MCP server or the HTTP API.

A memory's life across a typical session, before walking each feature in turn:

participant B as Buffer

Agent->>B: hippo remember "cache dropped tips_10y" --error
B->>E: encode (half_life=730d, valence=neg)
Note over E: strength=1.0
Agent->>E: hippo recall "data pipeline"

Agent->>E: hippo outcome --good
Note over E: reward_factor 1.0 → 1.25
Agent->>S: hippo sleep
S->>E: merge 3 related episodic → 1 semantic
Note over E,S: original episodic decays, pattern survives
Every memory has a half-life: 365 days by default. Until 1.46.0 the default was 7 days. A pre-registered evaluation found 7 days lost the current version of a fact far more often: it was in the top five 29% of the time at 7 days and 75% at 365 (result). 730 days and decay off both tied with 365. So 365 was not tuned: it is the tested value that tied with the others, and on that test decay made no measurable difference to recall. hippo sleep moves memories still on the old 7-day base to the new one, once, and records each move in the audit log. Set defaultHalfLifeDays in .hippo/config.json to choose your own.
hippo remember "always check cache contents after refresh"
# stored with half_life: 365d, strength: 1.0
# two years later with no retrieval:
hippo inspect mem_a1b2c3
# strength: 0.25 (decayed by 2 half-lives)
Use it or lose it. Each recall boosts the half-life by 2 days.
hippo recall "cache issues"
# finds mem_a1b2c3, retrieval_count: 1 -> 2
# half_life extended: 365d -> 367d
# strength recalculated from retrieval timestamp
hippo recall "cache issues" # again next week
# retrieval_count: 2 -> 3
# half_life: 367d -> 369d
# this memory is learning to survive
When you migrate from one tool to another, old memories about the replaced tool should die immediately. Hippo detects migration and breaking-change commits during hippo learn --git and actively weakens matching memories.
hippo learn --git
# feat: migrate from webpack to vite
# Invalidated 3 memories referencing "webpack"
# Learned: migrate from webpack to vite
You can also invalidate manually:
hippo invalidate "REST API" --reason "migrated to GraphQL"
# Invalidated 5 memories referencing "REST API".
One-off decisions don't repeat, so they can't earn their keep through retrieval alone. hippo decide stores them with verified confidence and the store's default half-life, the same as any other memory, and sleep never retires the memory behind a decision. On a store made before 1.52.7, decisions get 90 days until the store's first hippo sleep on 1.52.7 or later moves them to the default.
hippo decide "Use PostgreSQL for all new services" --context "JSONB support"
# Decision recorded: #1
# memory: mem_a1b2c3
# Later, when the decision changes:
hippo decide "Use CockroachDB for global services" \
--context "Need multi-region" \
--supersedes mem_a1b2c3
# Decision recorded: #2
# memory: mem_d4e5f6
# supersedes memory: mem_a1b2c3 (decision #1 superseded)
Tag a memory as an error and it gets 2x the half-life automatically.
hippo remember "deployment failed: forgot to run migrations" --error
# half_life: 730d instead of 365d
# emotional_valence: negative
# strength formula applies 2.0x multiplier (HIPPO_LOSS_AVERSION_RATIO=0.75 to keep v1.13.4 1.5x)
# production incidents don't fade quietly
Every memory carries a confidence level: verified, observed, inferred, or stale. This tells agents how much to trust what they're reading.
hippo remember "API rate limit is 100/min" --verified
hippo remember "deploy usually takes ~3 min" --observed
hippo remember "the flaky test might be a race condition" --inferred
When context is generated, confidence is shown inline:
[verified] API rate limit is 100/min per the docs
[observed] Deploy usually takes ~3 min
[inferred] The flaky test might be a race condition
Agents can see at a glance what's established fact vs. a pattern worth questioning.
A memory not recalled for 30 days is shown as aged when it is read, and recalling it clears that. Pinned and verified memories are exempt. Nothing in the store changes.
Hippo detects obvious contradictions between overlapping memories and keeps them visible instead of silently letting both masquerade as truth. Shared tags alone do not count; the statements themselves need to overlap in content.
hippo sleep # refreshes open conflicts
hippo conflicts # inspect them
Open conflicts are stored in SQLite, mirrored under .hippo/conflicts/, and linked back into each memory's conflicts_with field.
Memories aren't presented as bare assertions. By default, Hippo frames them as observations with dates, so agents treat them as context rather than commands.
hippo context --framing observe # default
# Output: "Previously observed (2026-03-10): deploy takes ~3 min"
hippo context --framing suggest
# Output: "Consider: deploy takes ~3 min"
hippo context --framing assert
# Output: "Deploy takes ~3 min"
Three modes: observe (default), suggest, assert. Choose based on how directive you want the memory to be.
Run hippo sleep and related episodes merge into one memory.
hippo sleep
# Running consolidation...
#
# Results:
# Active memories: 23
# Removed (decayed): 4
# Merged episodic: 6
# New semantic: 2
Two or more related episodes get merged into a single semantic memory. The originals decay. The pattern survives.
Sleep keeps the store tidy. It has not been shown to improve recall. In round 2 of the mechanism audit, a slept LongMemEval store scored 3.6 points lower at hit@5 than the same store never slept, and no scorer showed sleep helping (PR #232).
Experimental: learned memory-value rescue (opt-in, default off). With
{"memoryValue":{"enabled":true}} in .hippo/config.json, sleep consults a learned
linear memory-value scorer before deleting a decayed memory: a memory that scores in the
top 30% of its tenant by learned value is kept ("rescued") even though its strength fell
below the decay threshold. The scorer can only rescue, never delete: with the flag on,
sleep deletes a strict subset of what it would delete with the flag off. Every rescue is
recorded in the audit log (hippo audit list --op mv_rescue). The weights were learned
on the LongMemEval retention benchmark (held-out retention 0.4897 vs 0.4203 for the best
hand-set baseline); caveat: their usage-feature signs reflect that benchmark's simulated
usage, NOT real usage value, so treat the flag as an experiment, not a recommendation.
Tenants with fewer than 10 non-pinned memories never rescue (rank statistics are noise at
tiny scale).
Faded memories go dormant, not gone (on by default). Sleep moves a memory that faded below the decay threshold into a dormant store instead of deleting it. A dormant memory leaves recall and context exactly like a deleted one and sits out every later sleep, so your agent's context stays as lean as before, but nothing is lost:
hippo dormant # list, newest first (--json, --limit <n>)
hippo dormant "staging hostname" # search: every term must match
hippo dormant restore mem_a1b2c3 # back to active memory, as if just recalled
hippo dormant forget mem_a1b2c3 # delete for good
A restored memory comes back with a fresh recall clock, so it gets a full half-life before
it can fade again, and every restore is logged (hippo audit list --op dormant_restore) as
a "forgot it, then needed it" signal. Two guardrails: a faded memory that the secret
detector flags is deleted, never kept dormant, and a dormant memory nobody restores within
dormant.retentionDays (default 180, 0 keeps them forever) is deleted for good. Rejecting
a value (hippo reject) removes its dormant copies too. To delete faded memories straight
away as before, set {"dormant":{"enabled":false}} in .hippo/config.json. Sleep never
removes pinned memories, raw receipts (Slack, GitHub, vault imports) or the memories a
Claude Code compaction saved either way, and duplicate removal and junk cleanup still
delete other memories. hippo forget still deletes a compaction memory.
Clean up project names left by older versions. Older versions tagged memories saved in
a git worktree with the worktree's folder name, and older sleep saved merged memories as
user-global, so every project could see them. Upgrading stops new damage; these commands
repair old rows. Each is a dry run until you add --apply. With --apply, it backs up the
database to .hippo/backups/ first and logs every id it touched in the audit log:
hippo projects --global # names, counts, live worktrees of this repo
hippo projects merge hippo-wt-fix hippo --global # fold an old worktree name into its repo
hippo projects repair --global # set aside note copies, fold old worktree names, re-tag merges
A project's name is the id in a committed .hippo-project.json, else its origin remote
(github.com/acme/api), else its folder name. So two repos both called api no longer share
memories in the global store. Rows saved under the old folder name stay visible to the
project, and hippo projects repair folds that name into the id unless two projects claim it.
hippo sleep runs that repair once per store after an upgrade, with a backup; in the global store
it leaves the name folds to you, since only hippo projects repair --global lists them for review.
Set {"projectIdentity":{"remote":false}} in the global config.json to keep folder names.
A long-running MCP or HTTP server reads a new project file or remote after a restart.
See what memory costs in tokens. Every block of memory text hippo hands an agent (the
per-prompt hook, the block hippo compact-resume restores after compaction, hippo context,
hippo recall, the MCP tools, the HTTP API) is recorded in a token ledger: counts, surface
and session, never the text. A block stays in the conversation, so each later model call
reads it again until the host compacts. When a Claude Code session ends, hippo counts those
calls in the session's transcript and records the re-read tokens for the per-prompt hook's
blocks and the compact-resume block, dated by the day of the calls. The other surfaces show sent tokens only: their rows
cannot tell a sub-agent's call from its parent's. hippo tokens shows sent and re-read
totals for the last 30 days (--days, --json). A session that is still open, or that
crashed, shows what was sent only. Re-reads usually bill at the provider's cached-input rate,
a fraction of the full input price. Counts are estimates (characters / 4), the same estimate
every budget uses. Rows older than 90 days are pruned.
See why a memory did or did not reach the agent. Turn on the delivery ledger with
{"deliveryLedger":{"enabled":true}} in .hippo/config.json (off by default). The flag is
read from the store the token ledger writes to: the project's local store when it has one,
else the global store. Each per-prompt hook call then records one event (session, turn
number, whether the block was sent, reused, empty or disabled, counts and token totals) and
one row per candidate memory: emitted, reused or rejected, with the stage and the
reason it was dropped. Each accepted hippo pre-compact and hippo compact-resume call
records one event too, with no candidate rows. With prompt recall on, recent memories dropped by the quality filter
are not recorded yet. It holds ids, hashes, counts and reasons only, never prompt or memory
text; the prompt hash is unsalted, so a very short prompt can be guessed. A ledger failure prints one stderr line and never changes what the hook prints. Rows
older than 90 days are pruned; at a heavy 300 prompts a day that is about 190 MB per store.
Run a pilot with a holdout group. Set {"pilot":{"holdoutRateBp":2000}} in .hippo/config.json
to hold back memories from about 20% of sessions. The rate is in basis points, 0 to 10000, and 0
is off (the default). The setting is read from the store the token ledger writes to. A session
lands in its arm by a hash of its id, and the first hook call writes one row to the token ledger.
A holdout session gets no memories from the per-prompt hook, the SessionStart hook or compact-resume.
The agent's own hippo context pull is gated in Claude Code only, so a Codex holdout session still
gets memories from it. Capture still runs. hippo recall, the HTTP API and the MCP tools are not gated
and write no arm row. Agents are told to call the MCP context tool at session start, and those calls
are not recorded. Set the rate to 0 only after the pilot window closes, because 0 ends every holdout at once.
hippo doctor shows the pilot when it is on.
Did the recalled memories actually help? Tell Hippo. It tightens the feedback loop.
hippo recall "why is the gold model broken"
# ... you read the memories and fix the bug ...
hippo outcome --good
# Applied positive outcome to 3 memories
# reward factor increases, decay slows
hippo outcome --bad
# Applied negative outcome to 3 memories
# reward factor decreases, decay accelerates
Outcomes are cumulative. A memory with 5 positive outcomes and 0 negative has a reward factor of ~1.42, making its effective half-life 42% longer. A memory with 0 positive and 3 negative has a factor of 0.625, so it decays 1.6 times as fast; each bad mark past the good ones also halves its strength, up to three times, and recall stops strengthening it. Mixed outcomes converge toward neutral (1.0).
This is the mechanism with the clearest measured win. On the synthetic E1 test, plain BM25 plus the outcome nudge cut how often a marked-bad memory stayed in the top five from 71.9% to 0.0% (mechanism audit, round 2). Every mark in E1 is correct; real marks are noisier, since --bad marks the whole recall batch.
Recall only what fits. No context stuffing.
# fits within Claude's 2K token window for task context
hippo recall "deployment checklist" --budget 2000
# need more for a big task
hippo recall "full project history" --budget 8000
# machine-readable for programmatic use
hippo recall "api errors" --budget 1000 --json
Results are ranked by relevance * strength * recency. The highest-signal memories fill the budget first.
The budget counts the whole block as printed: the heading, each memory's label, date and tags,
and any snapshot or hint lines, so the token figure in the heading is the size of what the
model reads. Recall always keeps its first --min-results memories (default 1), even one
larger than the budget; hippo context skips a memory that does not fit and keeps filling.
--json returns the memories the text form would print.
Hippo can scan your commit history and extract lessons from fix/revert/bug commits automatically.
# Learn from the last 7 days of commits
hippo learn --git
# Learn from the last 30 days
hippo learn --git --days 30
# Scan multiple repos in one pass
hippo learn --git --repos "~/project-a,~/project-b,~/project-c"
The --repos flag accepts comma-separated paths. Hippo scans each repo's git log, extracts fix/revert/bug lessons, deduplicates against existing memories, and stores new ones. Pair with hippo sleep afterwards to consolidate.
Ideal for a weekly cron:
hippo learn --git --repos "~/repo1,~/repo2" --days 7
hippo sleep
Wrap any command with hippo watch to auto-learn from failures:
hippo watch -- npm run build
# if it fails, Hippo captures the error automatically
# next time an agent asks about build issues, the memory is there
The command runs with no shell, so each argument reaches the program as written. To run a shell line with pipes or &&, pass it as one string after --shell: hippo watch --shell "npm test && npm run build".
On heartbeat, block, review and complete, a given --run is checked against the card's live run and the command is refused, unchanged, if the two do not match.
hippo init detects your agent framework and patches the right config file automatically:
Init patches an instruction file only if it already exists. It also sets up a daily run and imports your coding agents' own memories; What hippo init changes lists everything.
If you prefer explicit control:
hippo hook install claude-code # patches CLAUDE.md + adds the 7 settings.json hook entries listed below
hippo hook install codex # patches AGENTS.md + adds hooks to Codex's hooks.json + wraps the detected Codex launcher
hippo hook install cursor # patches AGENTS.md
hippo hook install openclaw # patches AGENTS.md
hippo hook install opencode # patches AGENTS.md + installs the opencode TS plugin
This adds a ... block that tells the agent to:
hippo context --auto --budget 1500 at session starthippo remember "<what went wrong and why>" --error the moment it finds out why something failed, never as a closing stephippo remember the moment it learns something that should outlive the session, leaving out secrets and personal detailshippo capture --stdin when the session ends, but only where no hook captures the session: Cursor, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Pi, and Codex without its wrapperThe block asks for nothing a hook already does, because each extra tool call re-reads the whole context. Re-running hippo init swaps a block an older hippo wrote for the current one, as long as nobody edited it. It leaves an edited block alone and says so, and never touches text outside the markers.
For Claude Code, it also adds 7 hook entries to ~/.claude/settings.json:
SessionEnd hook that runs hippo sleep and then hippo capture when the session exits. Capture matches the last 20 user and 10 assistant messages of the transcript against word patterns for decisions, rules, errors and preferences. It uses no model and does not read earlier turns, so record lessons with hippo remember as you go.SessionStart hook that prints the previous session's consolidation log on stderr, where claude --debug shows it. When the last sleep failed or a compaction summary was set aside, it shows you one line that points to hippo doctor.UserPromptSubmit hook that runs hippo context --pinned-only --include-recent 5 --format additional-context every turn. It re-injects pinned memories (hippo remember <text> --pin) plus up to 5 memories that share words with your prompt. When nothing matches, it adds only the pinned ones. Since 1.55.0 this replaces the 5 newest memories, which cut the median block from 847 to 533 tokens in our eval. {"pinnedInject":{"promptRecall":false}} brings back the 5 newest, so fresh same-session lessons appear on the next prompt whatever you ask. The block is rendered without live strength percentages, so it stays byte-identical while its memories do not change, and it is sent only when it changed since the session's last prompt: an unchanged block is skipped, resent every 10 skips (pinnedInject.refreshTurns, 0 never resends) and resent after compaction. The prompt-matched memories go in a separate block that is never skipped, so they are sent on every prompt they match. {"pinnedInject":{"skipUnchanged":false}} sends the pinned block every turn as before. Opt out entirely with {"pinnedInject":{"enabled":false}} in .hippo/config.json.PreCompact hook that runs hippo pre-compact before the transcript gets summarized. It records the compaction in the store, saves a working-state snapshot (task/summary/next step) so mid-session compaction can't drop it, and asks the summariser to end its summary with a "Memories for hippo" list: the lessons, decisions and corrections from the session that should outlive it. The SessionEnd hook still owns extracting durable memories from the transcript.SessionStart hook (matcher compact) that runs hippo compact-resume, printing that snapshot back into context right after compaction, if it is under 15 minutes old.PostCompact hook that runs hippo post-compact. It keeps the summary in the store with secrets scrubbed, and saves each item of that list as a memory that sleep never deletes: at most 10 per compaction, skipping an item an earlier compaction already saved and any item that looks like a secret. An item over 500 characters stays in the compaction's record only. It then prints one line, such as "Hippo saved 3 memories from this compaction and restored your task snapshot." If the store is busy, the summary waits in the store's compactions-spool/ folder and hippo sleep finishes the save; hippo doctor names any compaction left unfinished for over 10 minutes. It also counts spool files that are waiting, stale (left by a replay that stopped) or set aside as .bad. The session that compacted does not have those memories injected back into its own prompts, since it just read them in the summary; hippo recall still finds them. The hook prints nothing when there is no store to save to.PostToolUseFailure hook that runs hippo capture-error, which stores a failed tool call as an error memory. It skips interrupts, declined permissions and searches that found nothing, and stores a repeated failure once. It also logs every failure, stored or not, for hippo failures: the session, the tool and hashes of the error, never its text. A hash is not anonymous, since anyone who guesses an error's text can check it against the hash. The log keeps 90 days.Only Claude Code saves memories at a compaction: hippo installs no PreCompact or PostCompact hook for Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, OpenClaw or Pi.
To remove: hippo hook uninstall claude-code
For Codex, it adds two hooks to $CODEX_HOME/hooks.json (else ~/.codex/hooks.json) and keeps every hook already there:
UserPromptSubmit hook that runs the same hippo context --pinned-only command as Claude Code's, so your pinned memories plus up to 5 that match the prompt reach every prompt as developer contextSessionStart hook (matcher compact) that runs hippo compact-resume after a compaction, so the next prompt sends that block again. Codex gets no PreCompact hook from hippo, so it restores a task snapshot only if one was saved with hippo snapshot save in the last 15 minutesCodex runs a new or changed hook only after you trust it, so open /hooks in Codex once and trust both; hippo doctor reminds you. The per-prompt hook was checked against a real Codex request; the compaction hook follows Codex's documented compact start source and has not been watched end to end in Codex. Each hook also carries a commandWindows form (hippo.cmd ...), because Codex runs hooks through PowerShell on Windows, where the execution policy can block npm's hippo.ps1. hippo only ever appends these two entries and never rewrites one, since Codex treats a changed command as a new hook to trust. To remove: hippo hook uninstall codex, which takes out only hippo's exact commands and leaves every other hook, including one of yours that runs hippo.
For GitHub Copilot, when $COPILOT_HOME (else ~/.copilot) or a VS Code User folder exists, hippo setup writes hippo's own hooks/hippo.json. When the Copilot folder was there before setup, it also adds a hippo server to mcp-config.json and a block to copilot-instructions.md. The block asks the agent to call hippo_recall and hippo_remember. The Copilot CLI, including its sessions inside VS Code, uses the session-start, tool-failure, pre-compact and session-end hooks, the server and the block. VS Code's agent mode (the Local agent, VS Code 1.109.3 or later) reads the same hooks file. It gets session start, the pre-compact snapshot and a capture after every reply. Setup also adds hippo to VS Code's own mcp.json and writes prompts/hippo.instructions.md, so its recall tools and instructions work too. The hooks, the VS Code files and how to remove them: integrations/copilot.md.
## Project Memory (Hippo)
Pinned rules and recent writes auto-inject at every prompt via the installed
UserPromptSubmit hook; never re-run that part manually. At the START of a
task (not per prompt), additionally load task-specific context: git-aware
recall over the full store that per-prompt injection does not cover. Also
run it if the hook is not installed:
```bash
hippo context --auto --budget 1500
```
When you find out why something failed, record it right then, while you
work, never as a closing step:
```bash
hippo remember "<what went wrong and why>" --error
```
The installed hooks store failed tool calls and capture the session when it
ends, so there is nothing to run before you finish.
For any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Windsurf (now Devin Desktop), Cline, Claude Desktop):
hippo mcp # starts MCP server over stdio
Add to your MCP config (e.g. .cursor/mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hippo-memory": {
"command": "hippo",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
No global install needed: "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hippo-memory", "mcp"] works too. With no store anywhere, the first tool call creates the global store (~/.hippo); hippo init in a project adds a project store. Check any install with hippo doctor.
Exposes 13 tools: hippo_recall, hippo_assemble, hippo_drill, hippo_remember, hippo_outcome, hippo_context, hippo_status, hippo_learn, hippo_conflicts, hippo_resolve, hippo_share, hippo_peers, hippo_predict_baserate.
On a store whose config.json sets "sharedStore": true, hippo serve answers MCP at POST /mcp, and each request names the caller's repo in two headers: X-Hippo-Project and an optional comma-separated X-Hippo-Project-Aliases (at most 10). The client percent-encodes each name, so any lowercase Unicode name fits. The server answers 400 for either header sent twice, aliases with no project, a blank, padded or uppercase name, a colon, a name over 256 characters, or a bad percent escape; a bad key still gets 401 first. With a project, hippo_remember stamps it on the row, and recall, assemble, drill, context and conflicts show only that project's rows and user-global ones; hippo_outcome rates only the recall made under that project. Without one, every tool returns an isError refusal that names the header, except hippo_predict_baserate. hippo_learn, hippo_share, hippo_resolve and hippo_peers are off on a shared store whatever the headers say; the admin resolves conflicts with the CLI. All headers must fit Node's 16 KB limit, and a larger request gets 431. Other stores ignore both headers. Every /mcp reply from any store, errors included, carries X-Hippo-Project-Scoped: 1, so a client can tell this server reads the project headers where an older one silently ignores them; hippo-memory/project-identity exports the name as MCP_PROJECT_SCOPED_HEADER.
The headers are a filter the caller picks, not access control: any member key can name another project. The tenant is the security boundary, and binding a key to its projects is a backlog item.
hippo_peers reads the server user's own global store, never the repos that share this one, which is why a shared store turns it off.
Native plugin with auto-context injection, workspace-aware memory lookup, and
tool hooks for auto-learn / auto-sleep. When autoSleep is enabled, the
OpenClaw plugin now launches hippo sleep in a detached background worker at
session end so the live session can exit immediately.
Query-time retrieval still uses the active workspace store plus the shared
global store. Daily consolidation comes from the machine-level runner that
hippo init / hippo setup installs.

Hippo's design borrows seven properties of the human hippocampus. This section is design inspiration, not measured benefit. For what we measured, see the Receipts and PR #232.
Why two stores? The brain uses a fast hippocampal buffer + a slow neocortical store (Complementary Learning Systems theory, McClelland et al. 1995). If the neocortex learned fast, new information would overwrite old knowledge. The buffer absorbs new episodes; the neocortex extracts patterns over time.
Why decay at all? In the brain, new neurons born in the dentate gyrus disrupt old memory traces (Frankland et al. 2013), which may reduce interference from outdated information. That is why hippo has decay. In hippo's own tests, age-based decay made no measurable difference to recall: at the 365-day default it tied with decay switched off. A bad outcome mark is the forgetting that measured helpful. Supersession, a newer fact replacing an old one, has not been measured.
Why do errors stick? The amygdala modulates hippocampal consolidation based on emotional significance. Fear and error signals boost encoding. Your first production incident is burned into memory. Your 200th uneventful deploy isn't.
Why does retrieval strengthen? Recalled memories undergo "reconsolidation" (Nader et al. 2000). The act of retrieval destabilizes the trace, then re-encodes it stronger. This is the testing effect. Hippo borrows the idea: each recall adds 2 days to a memory's half-life.
Why does sleep consolidate? During sleep, the hippocampus replays compressed versions of recent episodes and "teaches" the neocortex by repeatedly activating the same patterns. Hippo's sleep command borrows the idea for a consolidation pass. In hippo's own audit it lowered recall (Sleep consolidation has the numbers).
The 7 mechanisms in full: PLAN.md#core-principles
For how these mechanisms connect to LLM training, continual learning, and open research problems: RESEARCH.md
Why does reward modulate decay? In spiking neural networks, reward-modulated STDP strengthens synapses that contribute to positive outcomes and weakens those that don't. Hippo's reward-proportional decay (v0.11.0) borrows this idea: memories with consistent positive outcomes decay slower, negatives decay faster, with no fixed deltas. Inspired by MH-FLOCKE's R-STDP architecture for quadruped locomotion, where the same mechanism produces stable learning with 11.6x lower variance than PPO.
Prior art in agent memory simulation. The idea that human-like memory produces human-like behavior as an emergent property was explored in IEEE research from 2010-2011 (5952114, 5548405, 5953964). Walking between rooms and forgetting why you went there doesn't need direct simulation; it emerges naturally from a memory system with capacity limits and decay. Hippo takes the mechanisms as design ideas. Whether better agent behavior follows from them has not been shown.
Related work: HippoRAG (Gutierrez et al., 2024) applies hippocampal indexing to RAG via knowledge graphs. MemPalace (Sigman & Jovovich, 2026) organizes memory spatially (wings/halls/rooms) with AAAK compression, achieving 100% on LongMemEval. MH-FLOCKE (Hesse, 2026) uses spiking neurons with R-STDP for embodied cognition. Each system tackles a different facet: HippoRAG optimizes retrieval quality, MemPalace optimizes retrieval organization, MH-FLOCKE optimizes embodied learning, and Hippo works on the memory lifecycle.
The AI-memory category matured fast in 2026. Hippo's specific take (bio-decay, strengthen-on-use, outcome-weighted half-lives) is one stance among several. The table below is a feature snapshot, not a verdict: graph-first systems (gbrain, Zep, Cognee), agent-managed systems (Letta), and version-control / skill-distillation takes (Memoria, EverMind) all solve adjacent problems with different mechanics.
* Hippo's figures are on longmemeval_s_cleaned with a per-question haystack, each the best of five retrieval settings in the benchmark scripts, not hippo recall. Any-evidence R@5 counts a hit when any answer session is in the top 5, over all 500 questions: 98.0% with the free local MiniLM embedder (an optional install) and 99.8% with voyage-3-large (measured 2026-06-09, not re-run). All-evidence R@5 counts a hit only when every answer session is in the top 5, over the 470 questions that have an answer: 86.8 to 88.5% with MiniLM. gbrain first published 97.6%, an any-evidence score over all 500; its report now leads with all-evidence, 95.53% (449 of 470) with the paid Voyage rerank-2.5 reranker and 93.19% without it. On all-evidence recall gbrain is ahead. The June 2026 build scored 98.6 any-evidence; docs/evals/2026-09-23-longmemeval-reproduction.md has both runs. An older hippo number, 86.8% R@5 on longmemeval_oracle under pooled (non-per-haystack) retrieval, is not comparable to per-haystack figures.
** Different metric: these are end-to-end answer scores, not retrieval R@5. Mem0's 94.4 comes from its hosted platform, which its README says includes optimizations the open-source SDK lacks. Zep's 90.2% and 94.7% are accuracy figures from its homepage. Memoria's 88.78% and EverMind's 83% are overall accuracy with a reader LLM. Higher denominator + LLM helps. Not directly comparable to retrieval-only R@5 numbers above. The Mem0, Zep and Letta columns were last checked against each vendor's own pages on 2026-09-28.
Different tools answer different questions. Mem0 and Basic Memory implement "save everything, search later." MemPalace implements "store everything, organize spatially for retrieval." gbrain, Zep, and Cognee implement "extract typed entities and relationships into a knowledge graph." Letta implements "the agent edits its own memory blocks." Memoria implements "Git-style version control over the memory state itself." EverMind implements "self-evolving Skill Memory + multi-modal retrieval over hierarchical scopes." Hippo implements "learn what is wrong and stop repeating it." These are complementary takes, not a single-axis ranking: bio-lifecycle (Hippo) + GraphRAG (gbrain/Cognee/Zep) + agent-self-edit (Letta) + memory-VCS (Memoria) + skill-distillation (EverMind) cover different parts of the same problem.
Three benchmarks testing three different things. Full details in benchmarks/.
LongMemEval (ICLR 2025) is the industry-standard benchmark: 500 questions across 5 memory abilities, embedded in 115k+ token chat histories.
hippo recall (measured 2026-09-28 on hippo-memory 1.52.5, re-run 2026-10-06 on 1.64.0). On a default install, hippo recall puts an answer session in its top 5 for 85.6% of the 500 _s questions (95% CI 82.4 to 88.6), and 87.8% with the optional MiniLM embedder (84.8 to 90.6; 87.6% on 1.52.5). Most of the gap to the scripts below is the default 4,000-token budget. Each memory in this test is a whole session, about 2,600 tokens at the median, so recall returns a median of 2 sessions. With the budget lifted, the same rankings score 96.8% (95.2 to 98.2) and 97.4% (96.0 to 98.6). A lifted call returns every candidate, a median of 47 sessions and 123,491 tokens per question, so those two figures measure the ranking, not an amount of text an agent could take in. Result: docs/evals/2026-09-28-recall-cli-longmemeval-result.md; re-run: docs/evals/2026-10-06-recall-cli-longmemeval-rerun-1.64.0.md.
The benchmark scripts (_s split; MiniLM re-measured 2026-09-23, voyage measured 2026-06-09). Each question is scored against its own ~48-session haystack, the same way gbrain and other published systems report. The v1.23.0 pluggable embedding provider lets you choose the embedder:
These are any-evidence scores: a hit when any answer session is in the top 5, over all 500 questions. Counting a hit only when every answer session is in the top 5, over the 470 questions that have an answer, the MiniLM runs score 86.8 to 88.5. gbrain first published 97.6 any-evidence and now reports 95.53 all-evidence with a paid reranker, 93.19 without, so on all-evidence recall gbrain is ahead. These numbers come from the scripts in benchmarks/longmemeval/, which index every turn and fuse BM25 with dense ranks; they are not hippo recall, and a default install has no embedder. Re-measure: docs/evals/2026-09-23-longmemeval-reproduction.md. Any-evidence recall is near its ceiling on this task; all-evidence recall is not. Method and the global-pool comparison: docs/evals/2026-06-09-longmemeval-per-haystack-dual.md.
The differentiator is what happens as one store grows. Point retrieval at a single unified memory of tens of thousands of sessions, with no pre-scoped haystack, and recall stops being free (MiniLM 47, voyage 56 on the 19,195-session _s store, June 2026). That is where we expect the memory lifecycle to matter, and it is what hippo measures next (see ROADMAP Part III). It is not shown yet. Decay and sleep are design choices, and the tests so far do not favour them:
None of this shows hippo making agents better at their work; nothing published has shown that.
Hippo v0.28.0 oracle-split results (hybrid BM25 + cosine, full 500 questions, pooled retrieval):
For context: MemPalace scores 96.6% (raw) using ChromaDB embeddings + spatial indexing. Hippo v0.28 achieves 73.8% R@5 with hybrid BM25 + cosine. Hybrid scoring trades a little R@1 accuracy for better top-5 content relevance (answer_in_content@5 +3pp vs v0.11).
Hippo's strongest categories (single-session-assistant 100% R@5, knowledge-update 89.7%) are where keyword overlap between question and stored content is highest. The weakest (preference 20%) involves indirect references that need deeper semantic understanding.
Note: v0.28 R@10 is 1.6pp below v0.11's BM25-only result. The earlier v0.27 benchmark showed an apparent 35pp regression; that was a methodology bug (budget-limited retrieval vs unlimited), fixed in v0.28 with the
minResultsoption. Seeevals/README.mdfor the full investigation and per-type breakdown.

LoCoMo is 10 long multi-session conversations (5,882 turns, 1,986 questions). Hippo scores it with a deterministic metric: did the gold evidence turn land in the top 5 recalled memories? No LLM judge is in the scoring path, so the numbers are not comparable to the LLM-as-judge accuracy Mem0 and Letta publish for LoCoMo.
