Memex: Open-Source Memory Plugin for Claude Cowork
Memex is an open-source memory plugin for Claude Cowork that addresses the friction of starting each session from scratch. It provides persistent memory across sessions using a tiered context loading system.
How It Works
Memex scans your workspace and builds a manifest with one-line summaries for every file. It organizes files into tiers based on how often they're needed and converts file references to [[wikilinks]]. Skills update the system as you work across sessions.
Key Features
- Run
/memex:initonce to initialize the system - Claude briefs itself in about 20 seconds per session after initialization
- Pure markdown format
- Entire workspace is browsable in Obsidian as a knowledge graph
- MIT licensed open-source project
Setup and Usage
After the initial /memex:init command, every subsequent session begins with Claude automatically briefing itself on the project context. The system maintains memory of previous decisions, file references, and project state without requiring manual re-explanation.
The tool is available on GitHub at github.com/Skyfox-io/Memex and is designed for developers who use Claude Cowork regularly and want to eliminate the repetitive context-setting at the start of each session.
