The tool, which runs on Linux and WSL and supports Claude Code via existing Pro or Max subscriptions, creates a scaffold with agent directories, memory files, a routing layer, and a planning system, and includes a reference implementation of 17 agents that maintain AIPass itself.", "body_md": "Persistent Agent Workspace\n\n# AI agents that remember, collaborate, and never start from zero.\n\nDrop AIPass into any project folder. Your agents persist between sessions, share context, coordinate through mail, and pick up exactly where they left off.\n\n``` bash\n$ git clone https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass.git\n$ cd AIPass && ./aipass install\n```\n\n## What you get\n\nTwo commands. One project folder. Agents that actually stick around.\n\n## How it works\n\nAIPass gives your project a scaffold: agent directories, memory files, a routing layer, and a planning system. You bring the project, AIPass brings the infrastructure.\n\n### 1. Clone and install\n\n`git clone`\n\nthen `./aipass install`\n\n. One command creates the venv, puts `aipass`\n\nand `drone`\n\non your PATH, and chains into a guided setup that ends in a live conversation with your first agent.\n\n### 2. Say hi\n\nSetup drops you straight into the conversation. Kill the terminal, come back tomorrow, say hi — your agent reads its memory, knows its role, and picks up exactly where you left off.\n\n### 3. Scale up\n\nAdd more agents when your project needs them, or spin up a whole new project around a resident manager with `aipass new`\n\n. Agents coordinate through drone commands and mail.\n\n## Bring your own project\n\nAIPass works with any codebase. Python, JavaScript, Rust, Go, whatever you're building. It adds a scaffold alongside your existing code and stays out of the way.\n\nStart with 1 agent for a side project. Scale to 3 for a web app (backend, frontend, design). The reference implementation runs 17 agents that maintain AIPass itself.\n\n```\n# What aipass init creates\nyour-project/\n  src/your_project/\n    your-agent/\n      .trinity/          # Memory files\n        passport.json   # Identity\n        local.json      # Session history\n        observations.json # Learnings\n      .aipass/          # Agent instructions\n      .ai_mail.local/   # Mailbox\n      apps/             # Your agent's code\n      logs/             # Structured logs\n      README.md         # Agent readme\n```\n\n## FAQ\n\n##\nWhat CLI providers does AIPass support?\n\nClaude Code. AIPass runs it as an official subprocess using your existing Pro or Max subscription. No API keys needed for core functionality.\n\n##\nWhat platforms does it run on?\n\nLinux and WSL. AIPass is a Python package that runs in your terminal alongside your existing development tools.\n\n##\nDo I need all 17 agents?\n\nNo. Start with 1. The 17 agents in the repo are the reference implementation that maintains AIPass itself. Your project might need 1 agent for a side project, or 3 for a web app. Scale as needed.\n\n##\nHow is this different from CrewAI, LangChain, etc.?\n\nMost agent frameworks focus on task orchestration: define a workflow, run it, get output. AIPass focuses on persistence: agents that live in your project, remember across sessions, and develop expertise over time. It's a workspace, not a pipeline.\n\n##\nIs it free?\n\nYes. AIPass core is free and open source (MIT). You just need an existing Claude subscription (Pro or Max) to run your agents.\n\n## Start building with agents that remember.\n\n``` bash\n$ git clone https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass.git\n$ cd AIPass && ./aipass install\n```\n\n", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/aipass-ai-agents-whose-memory-is-small-json-files-they-own", "canonical_source": "https://aipass.ai", "published_at": "2026-08-30 06:58:24+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-30 07:22:46.618714+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["AIOSAI", "AIPass", "Claude Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/aipass-ai-agents-whose-memory-is-small-json-files-they-own", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/aipass-ai-agents-whose-memory-is-small-json-files-they-own.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/aipass-ai-agents-whose-memory-is-small-json-files-they-own.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/aipass-ai-agents-whose-memory-is-small-json-files-they-own.jsonld"}}
