Tages
Team memory for AI coding agents.
Your AI agents forget everything between sessions. Every decision re-litigated. Every convention re-explained. Every past mistake repeated by the next agent that touches the same code.
Personal memory tools patch the symptom: store some facts, retrieve them later. That works for solo developers who remember what they stored. It breaks down when teams ship with AI — when three developers are using agents on the same codebase, when onboarding requires transferring institutional knowledge, when the wrong memory survives a refactor because no one audited it.
Memory isn't storage. It's a team practice.
Tages treats codebase memory as a managed artifact: structured types, quality scoring, audit trails, sharpen passes that rewrite vague notes into imperative agent instructions. One developer's architecture decision becomes every agent's context. A bad memory gets flagged and corrected before it misleads the next session.
Start in under 60 seconds with one command. Add team features when your workflow demands them.

Why Tages?
| Tages | Zep | Mem0 |
|---|
| Install | One line (claude mcp add) | Docker + API key | API key + SDK |
| Local-only mode | Yes (SQLite, zero config) | Self-hosted only | No (cloud-only) |
| Team sharing | Yes (RBAC, federation) | Yes (cloud) | No |
| Dashboard | Yes (Next.js, analytics) | Yes | Basic |
| Quality control | Audit, sharpen, enforce | No | No |
| Memory types | 11 structured types | Knowledge graph (Graphiti) | Structured |
| MCP tools | 56 | N/A | N/A |
| Search | Trigram + semantic + decay | Temporal knowledge graph | Vector |
| Workflow integration | Git hooks, CI/CD, briefs | SDK calls | SDK calls |
| Pricing | Free local / $14 Pro | Open-source / Cloud | $19-$249/mo |
What It Remembers
Source code tells agents what exists. Tages tells them why it was built, how to work with it, and what not to do.
| Type | Example |
|---|
| Convention | "Always use snake_case for API routes" |
| Decision | "Chose Postgres over MongoDB for pg_trgm fuzzy search" |
| Architecture | "Auth middleware in lib/auth.ts, JWT in httpOnly cookies" |
| Lesson | "Don't cache the Supabase mock — tests need fresh state" |
| Anti-pattern | "Never pass id in upsert with onConflict — causes FK violation" |
| Pattern | "All API errors return { error, code, status }" |
Plus: entity, execution, operational, environment, preference (11 types total).
How It Works
- Install —
tages init connects to your project, or install the Claude Code plugin for zero-config setup
- Remember — Store decisions and conventions manually, via git hooks, or by importing CLAUDE.md
- Recall — Every session gets full project context in <10ms from local SQLite cache
Zero-Config Auto-Detection
When running as a Claude Code plugin or MCP server, Tages automatically detects which project you're in:
.tages/config.json — explicit marker file (created by tages link)- Git remote — matches the repo name against registered projects
- Directory name — matches the folder name against registered project slugs
- Auto-create — if authenticated, creates a new cloud project automatically; otherwise uses local-only mode
No tages init required per directory. Use tages link [slug] to explicitly bind a directory to a project.
Claude Code Plugin
Install Tages as a Claude Code plugin for automatic session memory:
/plugin https://github.com/ryantlee25-droid/tages
Works With
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini — anything that speaks MCP.
Features
- 56 MCP tools — remember, recall, audit, sharpen, import, federation, analytics, and more
- 53 CLI commands — full control from the terminal
- Web dashboard — browse, search, and edit memories with dark-mode UI
- Auto-indexing — git hooks extract decisions from commits via Ollama or Claude Haiku
- Import — seed from existing CLAUDE.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, or JSON files
tages brief — generate a cached context document for system prompt injectiontages audit — score your memory coverage and get suggestions for improvementtages sharpen — rewrite memories into imperative form for better agent consumption- Local-first — SQLite cache for sub-10ms queries, works offline
- Hybrid search — pg_trgm trigram matching + pgvector semantic search
- Team sharing — multiple developers share one codebase memory (Pro)
