claude-mem Claude Code Memory Plugin Explodes to 66,728 Stars — Persistent Session Memory With AI Compression

GitHub·high signal

claude-mem, a Claude Code plugin that automatically captures session activity, compresses it with Claude's agent-sdk, and injects relevant context into future sessions, has surged from 46,100 stars on April 7 to 66,728 today — a 45% increase in 17 days. The plugin uses five lifecycle hooks (SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionEnd) to record activity without manual intervention, stores compressed memories in local SQLite with FTS5 full-text search, and achieves approximately 10x token efficiency compared to manual context management. Installation is handled through Claude Code's plugin marketplace with zero manual config.
