# CEREBRO.md

> Your AI assistant's memory — a persistent knowledge system that works across every coding agent.

## What it is

CEREBRO.md is open-source, local-first software that gives AI coding assistants persistent memory. It records sessions, captures notes and decisions, and surfaces context (reminders, goals, recent activity) when you start a new session — so work continues with full context instead of from zero.

- **Creator:** Diego Martins — https://diegomartins.com

## Who it is for

Developers using AI coding tools who want session history, searchable knowledge, and automatic context load across tools — without sending memory to a vendor cloud.

## Platforms

Installs into **Claude Code** (full hook support), **Cursor**, **Windsurf**, and **Cline**. Slash commands work across platforms; more platforms may follow.

## Privacy model

100% local storage (plain markdown). No cloud account required for core use. Optional features like future hosted team plans are separate; the open-source product is self-hosted on disk.

## Install (quick reference)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/rcktshp/cerebro.md.git
cd cerebro.md && bash install.sh
```

Then run `/cerebro` in your assistant, and `/cerebro start` to begin sessions with loaded context.

## Command surface

Commands are invoked as `/cerebro <command>`. Categories include: Session (start, end, private, log), Capture (note, til, snippet, decision, pin, …), Search, Knowledge, Review (today, digest, stats, …), Collaboration, Automation, and System (privacy, export, uninstall, …).

## Storage layout (typical)

- `~/.cerebro/` — config, hooks, session map (small footprint)
- `~/Cerebro/` — sessions, notes, history, knowledge

**Dependency:** Python 3. No database daemon; files only.

## Pricing (as of site copy)

- **Free / open source:** full personal features, unlimited local sessions.
- **Team / Enterprise:** marked “coming soon” on the site; see https://www.cerebro.md#pricing
