LocalLore — Offline Memory for Claude Code

LocalLore helps Claude Code recall earlier coding work: why a design changed, where a topic was discussed, what you worked on during a period, and which files were involved.

It indexes existing Claude Code session history and combines keyword and semantic search through a local Docker runtime and MCP server. The remember skill starts with your wording, prefers the current project, applies project/date/file filters, and retrieves more context only when needed. Answers cite useful session timestamps, projects, and files, distinguish evidence from inference, and say when reliable memory is unavailable.

Requirements: Claude Code with plugin support, Docker with Docker Compose v2, and existing Claude Code sessions (normally ~/.claude/projects). This is a Claude Code plugin with supporting runtime files; the SKILL.md alone is not a standalone search service.

Install from the included checkout using ./scripts/install.sh, then load it with claude --plugin-dir . Alternatively, use the upstream Claude Code marketplace:

- `/plugin` marketplace add elarsaks/local-lore
- `/plugin` install locallore@locallore
- `/reload-plugins`
- `/locallore:setup`

Ask /locallore:remember Why did we choose SQLite for this project? or ask naturally to search LocalLore. First setup builds the container and downloads the pinned embedding model; it requires internet access and may take 30 minutes or longer. Search and embedding inference run locally afterward, without sending conversations to a hosted search or embedding service.

Version 0.3.1. Free and MIT licensed. The repository is a finished, pinned snapshot and is not actively maintained. Session history may be incomplete or superseded.
