OpenCode Memory

A persistent memory system for AI coding agents that enables long-term context retention across sessions using local vector database technology.

Visual Overview

Project Memory Timeline:

User Profile Viewer:

Core Features

Local vector database with SQLite + USearch-first vector indexing and ExactScan fallback, persistent project memories, automatic user profile learning, unified memory-prompt timeline, full-featured web UI, intelligent prompt-based memory extraction, multi-provider AI support (OpenAI, Anthropic), 12+ local embedding models, smart deduplication, and built-in privacy protection.

Prerequisites

This plugin uses USearch for preferred in-memory vector indexing with automatic ExactScan fallback. No custom SQLite build or browser runtime shim is required.

Recommended runtime:

• Bun
• Standard OpenCode plugin environment

Notes:

• If USearch is unavailable or fails at runtime, the plugin automatically falls back to exact vector scanning.
• SQLite remains the source of truth; search indexes are rebuilt from SQLite data when needed.

Getting Started

Add to your OpenCode configuration at ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": ["opencode-mem"],
}

The plugin downloads automatically on next startup.

Usage Examples

memory({ mode: "add", content: "Project uses microservices architecture" });
memory({ mode: "search", query: "architecture decisions" });
memory({ mode: "profile" });
memory({ mode: "list", limit: 10 });

Access the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:4747 for visual memory browsing and management.

Configuration Essentials

Configure at ~/.config/opencode/opencode-mem.jsonc:

{
  "storagePath": "~/.opencode-mem/data",
  "userEmailOverride": "user@example.com",
  "userNameOverride": "John Doe",
  "embeddingModel": "Xenova/nomic-embed-text-v1",
  "webServerEnabled": true,
  "webServerPort": 4747,

  "autoCaptureEnabled": true,
  "autoCaptureLanguage": "auto",

  "opencodeProvider": "anthropic",
  "opencodeModel": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",

  "showAutoCaptureToasts": true,
  "showUserProfileToasts": true,
  "showErrorToasts": true,

  "userProfileAnalysisInterval": 10,
  "maxMemories": 10,

  "compaction": {
    "enabled": true,
    "memoryLimit": 10,
  },
  "chatMessage": {
    "enabled": true,
    "maxMemories": 3,
    "excludeCurrentSession": true,
    "maxAgeDays": undefined,
    "injectOn": "first",
  },
}

Auto-Capture AI Provider

Recommended: Use opencode's built-in providers (no separate API key needed):

"opencodeProvider": "anthropic",
"opencodeModel": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",

This leverages your existing opencode authentication (OAuth or API key). Works with Claude Pro/Max plans via OAuth - no individual API keys required.

Supported providers: anthropic, openai

Fallback: Manual API configuration (if not using opencodeProvider):

"memoryProvider": "openai-chat",
"memoryModel": "gpt-4o-mini",
"memoryApiUrl": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
"memoryApiKey": "sk-...",

API Key Formats:

"memoryApiKey": "sk-..."
"memoryApiKey": "file://~/.config/opencode/api-key.txt"
"memoryApiKey": "env://OPENAI_API_KEY"

Full documentation available in this README.

Development & Contribution

Build and test locally:

bun install
bun run build
bun run typecheck
bun run format

This project is actively seeking contributions to become the definitive memory plugin for AI coding agents. Whether you are fixing bugs, adding features, improving documentation, or expanding embedding model support, your contributions are critical. The codebase is well-structured and ready for enhancement. If you hit a blocker or have improvement ideas, submit a pull request - we review and merge contributions quickly.
