Hindsight Shared Memory FAQs

Question 1

What is Hindsight Shared Memory?

Accepted Answer

Hindsight Shared Memory is a lightweight, local-first background daemon that gives Claude Code and Model Context Protocol (MCP) agents persistent memory across sessions, projects, and tools without external cloud dependencies.

Question 2

Do I need separate API keys to use Hindsight Shared Memory?

Accepted Answer

No. It leverages your existing Claude Code authentication (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise) to perform fact extraction and memory processing using Claude Haiku, eliminating the need for third-party LLM API keys.

Question 3

How does Hindsight Shared Memory ensure privacy and security?

Accepted Answer

The server binds exclusively to localhost (127.0.0.1) and operates with embedded Postgres storage and local ONNX embeddings. Once initial models are downloaded, memory indexing and retrieval run entirely offline on your machine.

Question 4

How does memory retention and injection work across sessions?

Accepted Answer

Via the Hindsight Coding Agents plugin, relevant project memories and conventions are automatically recalled and injected when a session begins, and key architectural decisions or facts are automatically extracted and saved upon session completion.

Question 5

Can multiple coding agents share the same project memory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Memory banks are scoped to your Git repository, enabling multiple sessions and different MCP-compatible clients (such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) to access and build upon the same shared knowledge base.
