GUIDE · SHARED MEMORY
How to make AI coding context travel across your whole team
A practical playbook for sharing AI coding context across engineers and agents: rules files, MCP memory, and conversion-focused rollout. Set it up in under 30 minutes.
Step 1 — put invariants in the repo
AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / .cursorrules carry the always-on constraints. Keep them short: invariants, not tutorials. Everything longer belongs in shared memory where retrieval — not prompt size — decides what agents see.
Step 2 — give knowledge a database
Stand up MemHub (hosted, or self-hosted on PostgreSQL), then `memhub login` and `connect` for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Codex CLI or any JSON MCP client. From then on, sessions brief themselves.
Step 3 — let agents write, humans pin
Agents capture decisions as they work; leads pin the non-negotiables and prune noise weekly. Provenance makes review fast — every entry says who wrote it and from which PR.
The payoff compounds monthly
Week one feels like normal. Month three, new hires ship without the oral-history tour, agents stop re-proposing settled debates, and postmortems write themselves from the decision trail.
UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY
Plugs into any CLI or development tool you use.
If it speaks MCP or reads a JSON config, MemHub plugs in. One command wires the majors; everything else joins as a generic client.
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Windsurf
- Cline
- Codex CLI (GPT)
- GitHub Copilot
- Google Antigravity
- Gemini CLI
- Aider
- OpenCode
- CI bots via REST
Questions, answered straight.
How long does rollout take?
Under 30 minutes for a five-person team: create the workspace, run connect on each laptop, paste one line into your rules file. Memory accumulates from the first session onward.
Which tools does this cover?
Anything MCP-speaking or JSON-configured: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, OpenAI Codex CLI, Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, aider-style CLIs, and CI bots via the REST API.
