A long-term memory layer for VS Code Copilot.
Learns from your conversations. Stays local. Gets smarter over time.
What It Does
HackLM Memory gives Copilot a persistent memory across sessions. It stores decisions, preferences, quirks, and security rules in plain Markdown files inside your project.
Learns passively — picks up preferences and rules from natural conversation
Never stores duplicates — deduplication runs on every write
Self-cleaning — periodic cleanup merges similar entries and prunes stale ones
Workspace-scoped — each project has its own .memory/ folder
Fully local — no cloud sync, no telemetry
Getting Started
Install the extension
Open a workspace — memory files are created automatically in .memory/
Start chatting with Copilot — it will read and write memories automatically
