Persistent AI memory system using memvid video-encoded storage

brianlubyrusty-brain is a persistent memory system for AI coding agents. It captures observations from agent sessions and stores them locally so your agents remember context across conversations. Supported agents include Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Google Gemini CLI — all sharing the same memory store.
Each supported agent is configured to send observations to rusty-brain at the end of every session. Memories are stored in .rusty-brain/mind.mv2 at your project root. Any configured agent can read and write to this shared store, so context learned in one agent is available to all others.

After installing the binary, configure rusty-brain for each agent you use.
/plugin marketplace add brianluby/rusty-brain
/plugin install rusty-brain@rusty-brain
rusty-brain install --project --agents opencode
rusty-brain install --project --agents copilot
rusty-brain install --project --agents codex
rusty-brain install --project --agents gemini
rusty-brain install --project
This auto-detects which supported agents are installed on your system and configures all of them in one step.
Use --global instead of --project to install configuration in user-level directories (e.g., ~/.config/) so rusty-brain is available across all your projects without per-project setup.
Search your memories:
rusty-brain find "authentication"
rusty-brain find "query" --limit 5 --type decision
Ask a question about stored context:
rusty-brain ask "why did we choose PostgreSQL over SQLite?"
View recent activity:
rusty-brain timeline
rusty-brain timeline --limit 20 --oldest-first
View memory statistics:
rusty-brain stats
All commands accept --json for structured output, which is useful for scripting or piping into other tools.
Memories are stored in .rusty-brain/mind.mv2 at your project root. Add this directory to your .gitignore to keep personal memory data out of version control:
echo '.rusty-brain/' >> .gitignore
If you have memories stored in an older location (.agent-brain/mind.mv2 or .claude/mind.mv2), rusty-brain detects these on startup and shows migration instructions.
See docs/developer.md for build instructions, crate layout, quality gates, and the spec-driven development workflow.
