Lisa – Long Term Memory for AI Coding Assistants

Lisa for Claude

Lisa, never forgets a commit, a pr, a code change, or a saxophone lesson.

Why Lisa?

Because you would like every Claude session to remember the last one, the one from last week, last month. ALL OF THEM!!

You want..

  • memory to load automatically
  • store automatically
  • recall automatically

You DON'T want..

  • Having to repeat yourself, over & over
  • Having to update .md files
  • Having to fill up your context window.

How?

lisa init in your project directory. Open Claude cli and code away as normal.

Ask Lisa..

  • Lisa, tell me about this project?
  • Lisa, what was the last thing we were working on?
  • Lisa, why are we not using Postgres?
  • Lisa, ...

Tell Lisa.

  • Lisa, remember this for future reference
  • Lisa, create Jira/GitHub ticket
  • Lisa, let's commit, push, and create a PR

The tech..

  • Graph-native storage (Neo4j) - Connections matter as much as content
  • LLM-powered extraction - Automatically identifies entities and relationships
  • Temporal awareness - Knows when you learned something
  • Semantic retrieval - Finds relevant context by meaning, not keywords
  • Multi-CLI support - Works with Claude Code and OpenCode

Installation

Quick Start

# Install Lisa globally - IMPORTANT
npm install -g @tonycasey/lisa

# change to any project directory
cd your-project-directory

# initialize - copies in relevant files
lisa init

Using Lisa

Once installed, Lisa works automatically. Your AI assistant will:

  1. Load context at session start - Previous memories and project context
  2. Capture important info during coding - Decisions, patterns, etc.
  3. Remember explicitly when asked - Say "remember that..." to save important notes

During a coding session:

  • "remember that we decided to use Redux for state management"
  • "hey lisa, what do you know about the authentication system?"
  • "lisa, show me recent memories"
  • "lisa, what tasks are we working on?"
