NickCirv/engram

NickCirv/engram is an Apache-2.0-licensed, open-source context spine for AI coding sessions that keeps Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and seven other IDEs in sync via MCP and Claude Code hooks — with token optimization and a cross-IDE knowledge graph — so developer-tools teams and AI coding agent builders can ship agents that carry persistent project context across IDE switches instead of starting fr

Why it matters

Useful for developer-tools teams, AI coding agent builders, and power-user developers who need an Apache-2.0-licensed, open-source context spine for AI coding sessions that keeps Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and seven other IDEs in sync via MCP and Claude Code hooks — with token optimization and a cross-IDE knowledge graph — so they can ship agents that carry persistent project context across IDE s

Who should use it

developer-tools teams who need an Apache-2.0-licensed, open-source context spine that keeps AI coding assistants across Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and seven other IDEs in syncAI coding agent builders who want a cross-IDE knowledge graph and token optimization that survives IDE switchespower-user developers who need an Apache-2.0 alternative to per-IDE agent state that resets every tool changeopen-source contributors who want an Apache-2.0-licensed MCP and hooks integration that unifies AI coding context across editors

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

It is an Apache-2.0-licensed context spine that keeps AI coding assistants across multiple IDEs in sync via MCP and hooks, so review which IDEs are connected, scope which repositories and files the spine can read, confirm that cross-IDE context persistence respects your privacy and IP boundaries, and gate any production rollout behind a privacy review before connecting it to proprietary codebases.
