How does Librarian differ from standard AI memory?

Librarian provides structured, persistent recording of specific insights with advanced features like semantic search, hit-tracking for ranking, and the ability to import data from external tools.

Can I import data from other AI coding tools?

Yes, Librarian supports importing memories from various formats including JSONL, Markdown, SQLite, and tools like Cursor to centralize your development knowledge.

What kind of information should I record?

You should record 'hard-won' solutions, complex gotchas, architectural decisions, and project-specific patterns that are not readily available in generic documentation.

How does the search ranking work?

Entries are ranked using a weighted formula: 60% semantic similarity to your query, 25% recency (newer entries rank higher), and 15% hit count (how often you've marked an entry as helpful).

Productivity & Workflow

Captures and retrieves context-specific technical insights, architectural decisions, and hard-won lessons during development sessions.

About

Librarian is a persistent knowledge management skill for Claude Code designed to build a custom library of project-specific insights. By integrating semantic search with a smart ranking algorithm—factoring in relevance, recency, and utility—Librarian surfaces past solutions exactly when they are needed. It moves beyond generic documentation by allowing developers to record 'aha' moments, complex workarounds, and non-obvious patterns in real-time, ensuring that valuable context is preserved and searchable across different AI tools and development sessions.

Key Features

Semantic search with the brief tool to find past solutions before planning.
Multi-format import support for JSONL, Markdown, Cursor, and SQLite files.
Smart ranking based on semantic similarity, recency, and utility hit counts.
Real-time insight recording to capture decisions and gotchas as they happen.
Local indexing to maintain a private, project-specific knowledge base.
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Checking for existing project workarounds before starting a new feature implementation.
Documenting architectural decisions and their reasoning to prevent future regressions.
Capturing environment-specific bugs and fixes that are not found in official documentation.
