coleam00/claude-memory-compiler

Give Claude Code a memory that evolves with your codebase. Hooks automatically capture sessions, the Claude Agent SDK extracts key decisions and lessons, and an LLM compiler organizes everything into structured, cross-referenced knowledge articles - inspired by Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base architecture.
