I Built a Zero-Dependency Memory System for AI Agents in 200 Lines of Bash Most AI agent memory solutions require databases, vector stores, or cloud services. I wanted something simpler. musecl-memory is a file-based memory sync system for AI agents. No dependencies. No databases. Just bash, git, and markdown. The Problem AI agents forget everything between sessions. The standard solutions are: Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB) Cloud memory services (Mem0, Letta) Custom embeddings pipelines These work, but they're overkill for many use cases. If your agent just needs to remember decisions, preferences, and context across sessions — you don't need a vector DB. You need a file and a sync script. The Solution Each agent gets a directory. Each directory has a MEMORY.md file. A single bash script syncs them to a git repo. agents/ researcher/MEMORY.md coder/MEMORY.md reviewer/MEMORY.md sync.sh That's it. The MEMORY.md files are plain markdown — agents read them at session start
