OKF Agent Memory is a Git-native persistent memory layer for AI agents that stores knowledge as structured Markdown files within a repository.
It uses a Dual-Memory Agent Architecture with in-memory BM25 search and progressive disclosure to provide fast, auditable, and context-efficient memory without external dependencies.
- 01
Sub-300µs in-memory BM25 lexical search
- 02
Embedded Model Context Protocol (MCP) server
- 03
Progressive disclosure to minimize token bloat
- 04
Git-native storage with provenance and trust tiers
- 05
Zero-dependency Go binary
Open Source
Free and open-source under the MIT license with no external database, API, or embedding costs.
Best for
Software engineering teams and individual developers requiring auditable, version-controlled architectural decision records that persist across AI agent sessions.
Not ideal for
Projects requiring semantic (vector-based) search across synonyms, cross-repository memory sharing, or small projects where structured knowledge management adds unnecessary overhead.
A highly performant, Git-native solution for developers who need reliable, auditable agent memory and want to avoid the latency and costs of traditional vector databases.
Released version 0.2.0 in September 2026, introducing code_refs for binding concepts to source paths, a --for-path search flag for improved retrieval accuracy, and epistemic governance features.
