Anthropic recently brought memory features to Claude.ai’s Pro and Max tiers, but Claude Code has remained limited to manual journaling and temporary logs. A new open-source plugin called episodic-memory aims to change that by giving Claude Code something closer to long-term recall.
Instead of relying on month-long logs or user-written notes, the plugin automatically archives conversation history, indexes it in a searchable database, and makes that knowledge available across sessions. The result: a coding assistant that remembers prior discussions, decisions, and context, rather than starting from scratch each time.
The project builds on earlier experiments with journal-based tools, but extends them into a system that uses vector search, a dedicated CLI, and integration with Claude’s Superpowers plugin framework. Developers report it helps reduce repeated explanations, improves continuity, and makes Claude more useful for ongoing projects.
Installation is handled via the Superpowers marketplace, and once set up, the assistant can recall past sessions on demand.
