Hippo learns what is wrong and ranks it down. Good memory is knowing what to forget: what turned out wrong, what got replaced, what nobody used.

Hippo keeps your coding agents' memories in a SQLite store on your machine, with markdown mirrors you can read and commit. Search is BM25 out of the box, with no model and no network call; embeddings are an optional install. `hippo init` installs hooks for Claude Code and OpenCode, adds 2 hooks to Codex's `hooks.json` when Codex is installed (Codex runs them once you trust them in `/hooks`), and adds instructions to an existing `AGENTS.md` for Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Pi. Any MCP client ca…

Install it, then run `hippo init` inside one project. Init creates the project's `.hippo/` store and adds a block to the `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md` already there. On your machine it adds hooks for the agents it finds, such as Claude Code's in `~/.claude/settings.json`, and a daily 6:15am run. What hippo init changes lists all of it and the flags that skip each part.

Setting up every git repo under a folder in one go is a second step. The Quick start says what it changes, then gives the command.
