Still using CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md as memory? This Markdown-file memory approach has fatal flaws: the file keeps growing, injecting everything into every session and burning massive tokens; content only supports keyword matching โ search "database timeout" and you won't find "MySQL connection pool pitfall"; sharing one file across projects causes cross-contamination; there's no task tracking, so dev progress lives entirely in your head; not to mention the 200-line truncation, manual maintenance, and inability to deduplicate or merge.
AIVectorMemory is a fundamentally different approach. Local vector database storage with semantic search for precise recall (matches even when wording differs), on-demand retrieval that loads only relevant memories (token usage drops 50%+), automatic multi-project isolation with zero interference, and built-in issue tracking + task management that lets AI fully automate your dev workflow. All data is permanently stored on your machine โ zero cloud dependency, never lost when switching sessions or IDEs.
โจ Core Features
Feature | Description |
๐ง Cross-Session Memory | Your AI finally remembers your project โ pitfalls, decisions, conventions all persist across sessions |
๐ Semantic Search | No need to recall exact wording โ search "database timeout" and find "MySQL connection pool issue" |
๐ฐ Save 50%+ Tokens | Stop copy-pasting project context every conversation. Semantic retrieval on demand, no more bulk injection |
๐ Task-Driven Dev | Issue tracking โ task breakdown โ status sync โ linked archival. AI manages the full dev workflow |
๐ Desktop App + Web Dashboard | Native desktop app (macOS/Windows/Linux) + Web dashboard, visual management for memories and tasks, 3D vector network reveals knowledge connections at a glance |
๐ Fully Local | Zero cloud dependency. ONNX local inference, no API Key, data never leaves your machine |
๐ All IDEs | Cursor / Kiro / Claude Code / Windsurf / VSCode / OpenCode / Trae โ one-click install, works out of the box |
๐ Multi-Project Isolation | One DB for all projects, auto-isolated with zero interference, seamless project switching |
๐ Smart Dedup | Similarity > 0.95 auto-merges updates, keeping your memory store clean โ never gets messy over time |

Option 1: pip install (Recommended)
# Install
pip install aivectormemory
# Upgrade to latest version
pip install --upgrade aivectormemory
# Navigate to your project directory, one-click IDE setup
cd /path/to/your/project
run installrun install interactively guides you to select your IDE, auto-generating MCP config, Steering rules, and Hooks โ no manual setup needed.
macOS users note:
If you get
externally-managed-environmenterror, add--break-system-packagesIf you get
enable_load_extensionerror, your Python doesn't support SQLite extension loading (macOS built-in Python and python.org installers don't support it). Use Homebrew Python instead:brew install python /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -m pip install aivectormemory
Option 2: uvx (zero install)
No pip install needed, run directly:
cd /path/to/your/project
uvx aivectormemory installRequires uv to be installed.
uvxauto-downloads and runs the package โ no manual installation needed.
Option 3: Manual configuration

# AIVectorMemory - Workflow Rules
## 1. New Session Startup (execute in order)
1. `recall` (tags: ["project-knowledge"], scope: "project", top_k: 100) load project knowledge
2. `recall` (tags: ["preference"], scope: "user", top_k: 20) load user preferences
3. `status` (no state param) read session state
4. Blocked โ report and wait; Not blocked โ enter processing flow
## 2. Message Processing Flow
- Step A: `status` read state, wait if blocked
- Step B: Classify message type (chat/correction/preference/code issue)
- Step C: `track create` record issue
- Step D: Investigate (`recall` pitfalls + read code + find root cause)
- Step E: Present plan to user, set blocked awaiting confirmation
- Step F: Modify code (`recall` pitfalls before changes)
- Step G: Run tests to verify
- Step H: Set blocked awaiting user verification
- Step I: User confirms โ `track archive` + clear block
## 3. Blocking Rules
Must `status({ is_blocked: true })` when proposing plans or awaiting verification.
Only clear after explicit user confirmation. Never self-clear.
## 4-9. Issue Tracking / Code Checks / Spec Task Mgmt / Memory Quality / Tool Reference / Dev Standards
(Full rules auto-generated by `run install`)Auto-save on session end removed. Dev workflow check (.kiro/hooks/dev-workflow-check.kiro.hook):
{
"enabled": true,
"name": "Dev Workflow Check",
"version": "1",
"when": { "type": "promptSubmit" },
"then": {
"type": "askAgent",
"prompt": "Core principles: verify before acting, no blind testing, only mark done after tests pass"
}
