All 27 Dependencies
Every package Hippo depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Hippo is built on a specific critique of most "AI memory" tools: saving everything and bolting on semantic search just means an agent's memory grows unbounded and noisy, which is why agents keep re-discovering the same known bug repeatedly. Hippo instead models memory on the hippocampus — memories decay by default unless reinforced through use, and every memory carries provenance about where it came from.
Installing it is a single global npm command (`npm install -g hippo-memory && hippo init --scan ~`) that gives every git repository on the machine a memory layer, working across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and any MCP-compatible client. It can also import existing context from ChatGPT, Claude's CLAUDE.md files, Cursor's `.cursorrules`, Slack, or plain markdown, rather than starting from a blank memory.
Storage is SQLite with markdown mirrors, making memory git-trackable and human-readable rather than opaque, and the project has zero runtime dependencies beyond Node.js 22.5+, with optional embeddings via a local transformers model by default or an opt-in API embedder (OpenAI, Voyage, or Cohere) if you want it.
