docmancer — Shared Memory for Coding Agents
Gives Claude Code grounded, cited recall over the memory, rules and decisions that every coding agent on the machine has written, all stored locally.

What it does
- Discovers the memory, instructions and project conventions that Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and other agents scatter across your machine, and merges the durable parts into one human-readable Shared Memory tree.
docmancer askreturns grounded answers with citations;docmancer read <address>follows a stable citation to the full file and its current content hash.- Technical documentation stays a separate Library corpus searched with
docmancer docs(local folders, doc URLs, GitHub repos). - Default profile runs on SQLite FTS5, sqlite-vec and bundled Model2Vec embeddings — no API keys, no daemon, offline at runtime. Network access only for explicit online doc fetches, external models, registry checks or Cloud.
Who it's for
- Developers who switch between multiple AI coding tools and are tired of re-explaining project context.
- Teams accumulating architecture decisions, deployment policies and coding conventions as durable memory.
- Anyone who needs a strictly local-first knowledge workflow.
Examples
docmancer ask "why did we pick Railway?"— a cited answer drawn from what your agents previously wrote.docmancer ask "remember that production releases require a smoke test"— prepares one complete-file memory proposal that only lands after explicit confirmation or--apply.docmancer docs add https://docs.example.comthendocmancer docs query "how to authenticate" --expand— vendor docs searched from the local index.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docmancer/docmancer/HEAD/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo docmancer/docmancer into my ~/.claude/skills/docmancer/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
pipx install docmancer && docmancer setup⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Install
pipx(oruv) and runpipx ensurepath. - Install the tool:
pipx install docmancer(uv users:uv tool install docmancer). - Make it available in the current shell:
export PATH="$(pipx environment --value PIPX_BIN_DIR):$PATH". - Run
docmancer setup— it discovers installed agents, indexes their memory, and installs the skill and recall hooks for you. - Verify with
docmancer status --checkanddocmancer doctor. - Restart Claude Code, then try
docmancer ask "what deployment decisions apply?". - (Optional) For larger corpora:
pipx install "docmancer[embeddings-heavy]",docmancer qdrant up,docmancer setup --profile scale.
