Brain Base addresses a universal developer frustration: every new AI session starts from zero, forcing you to re-explain your stack, conventions, and architectural decisions from scratch. Brain Base is a local-first, CLI-based memory layer for AI agents. Using a simple Markdown-based protocol, it persistently stores the context that matters - architectural decisions, coding preferences, project-specific conventions - and surfaces it across sessions and tools so your AI always starts informed, not blank. Everything runs entirely on your local machine. No cloud sync, no telemetry, no vendor accounts. This makes Brain Base suitable for air-gapped and enterprise environments where data sovereignty is a requirement, not a preference. Because the protocol is plain Markdown, Brain Base is tool-agnostic by design. Switch models, editors, or workflows freely, and your context travels with you regardless. The outcome is a fundamentally more productive AI experience: less time re-orienting your assistant, more time building. Brain Base gives your AI the one thing it has always been missing: memory that persists.
