MemGovern for VS Code

Memory governance for AI coding assistants — conflict detection, human-in-the-loop adjudication, and confidence decay, running fully on your machine via MCP.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.102+
• Python 3.10+ on PATH (this extension does not bundle Python)
• The MemGovern MCP server package:

pip install memgovern        # once published to PyPI
# or from source:
pip install -e D:\code_ws\py_ws\memgovern

Setup

1. Install Python 3.10+ (Windows: check "Add python.exe to PATH")
2. pip install memgovern
3. Run command MemGovern: Check Python Environment to verify
4. Copilot Chat will discover the write_memory / read_memories / resolve_conflict / decay_memories tools automatically

Pro license (optional)

Place license.key in ~/.memgovern/ or set memgovern.licenseKey in settings to unlock conflict detection and intelligent decay.

Purchase Pro: afdian / 爱发电 (Alipay & WeChat accepted). You will receive a one-line license text — paste it into the MemGovern: License Key setting (or save it as ~/.memgovern/license.key), then reload VS Code.
