Memoria — Agent Memory Sidebar

A tiny VS Code extension that adds an Activity Bar view to browse the markdown files your AI coding agent keeps about your projects.

Designed for Claude Code's auto-memory system (files under ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/), but works with any tool that follows the same on-disk layout.

Features

• 📎 Dedicated Activity Bar icon — one click, memory is right there
• 📁 Workspace-aware: opens the memory folder for the project you're in
• 🔀 Fallback browser: no workspace open? Browse all projects with memory
• 🔄 Auto-refresh when memory files change on disk
• 🗂 MEMORY.md pinned as the index entry, rest sorted alphabetically

How it works

The extension derives the memory folder path from the currently open workspace:

~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/

where <slug> is the absolute workspace path with / replaced by - (e.g. /Users/you/Desktop/my-project → -Users-you-Desktop-my-project).

This matches Claude Code's on-disk layout. If your agent uses a different root, point it there via the memoria.memoryRoot setting.

Settings

Commands

Install

From the Marketplace: search for Memoria in the Extensions panel.

Or sideload a .vsix:

code --install-extension memoria-0.0.1.vsix

Why

Claude Code (and similar agents) can build up a useful pile of facts about you and your project over many sessions. Those notes already live on disk, but they're buried in a long absolute path you never want to type. This extension just surfaces them.
