Cavemem gives coding agents memory

Cavemem is attacking the right pain point: coding agents are useful until every new session starts with amnesia. The bet is that memory needs to be private, inspectable, and cheap before developers will trust it.

• –Local SQLite storage and no default network calls make this more plausible for real codebases than cloud-first memory products
• –MCP support turns memory into shared agent infrastructure instead of a feature trapped inside one IDE
• –Caveman compression is the differentiator, but also the risk: compressed memories need excellent fidelity or agents will retrieve confident nonsense
• –The project is early, but it fits the broader shift from bigger context windows toward curated, searchable, persistent context
