Local Coding Agent Memory That Proves It's Used: PMB Review
PMB is a local-first, MCP-native memory layer for AI coding agents that stores everything in one SQLite file on your disk and — unusually — measures whether that memory actually changes outcomes. Instead of claiming “+X% faster,” it scores each surfaced lesson against the turn’s real result, so you can see when memory is genuinely helping. Why Coding Agents Forget — and Why “Memory” Is the Hard Part Every coding agent you’ve used — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code, gemini, opencode, continue — starts each session with a clean slate. The model has no persistent recollection of the architecture decisions you made last week, the test suite you just fixed, or the deployment gotcha that cost you an afternoon. This is the “forgetting problem,” and it is the single biggest reason long-running projects feel like they restart from zero every time you open a new session. ...
