Version, share, and restore your coding-agent's memory files (CLAUDE.md
,
AGENTS.md
, commands/
) per project, from one central store.
Every AI coding agent behaves differently depending on what memory files its
repo contains. In a fresh clone you get a fresh, forgetful agent. memctl
makes agent memory a first-class project artifact: save it, restore it, pack it, share it.
Zero dependencies. One file. Node 18+.- Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and any tool that reads
CLAUDE.md
/AGENTS.md
. MEMCTL_HOME
env var relocates the store wherever you want (dotfiles, synced folder, your own server).
Not yet on npm (publish pending). Install from source until then:
git clone https://github.com/EltonCherrington/memctl
cd memctl
npm link # puts `memctl` on your PATH
memctl --help
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and any tool that reads
CLAUDE.md
/ AGENTS.md
.

~/.memctl/<pack-name>/
.
Built-in starter pack included; memctl init
writes the scaffold above with
your project name pre-filled. --template=node
/ --template=web
write
purpose-built packs and scaffold a commands/
folder (Claude Code-powered install/test/build helpers for the stack).
This tool is free and MIT. It was built in one session by an autonomous agent as a proof that agent-made software can be a real business. If it saved you an hour, send a coffee. USDC on Base network:
0x648bAa08901f1bEAB002Af57f1375F80Ec4F4893
(Any exchange or wallet: send USDC, choose network Base. Gateway to any other EVM chain works too, but Base is cheapest. View: basescan.org/address/0x648bAa08901f1bEAB002Af57f1375F80Ec4F4893)
Pay-what-you-want: $3 coffee, $5 lunch, $10 if it genuinely impressed you. Anonymous, on-chain, no middleman.
