README

Anywhere-claude-mem

Two-way synchronization of claude-mem memory across multiple OpenCode and DeepSeek Harness installations, on Linux and Windows.

OpenCode / DeepSeek Harness -> claude-mem worker -> Anywhere-claude-mem Python CLI -> private Git data repository

Each machine exports its local claude-mem memory to a private Git repository and imports the merged memory of the other machines. The sync core is pure Python; only the service integration, config paths, launchers, process handling, and the startup-pull trigger differ per OS or per coding tool.

Both platforms write into the same claude-mem worker, so the automatic watcher recognizes OpenCode and DeepSeek Harness observations alike. Only who runs anywhere-claude-mem startup-pull when the tool starts changes with the platform selected during install: an OpenCode plugin, or a DeepSeek Harness plugin.

Quick install

Run the installer from the wrapper directory. It asks a few questions, clones (or attaches) your private data repository, and sets up the automatic watcher.

Linux:

git clone https://github.com/Bleed00/Anywhere-claude-mem.git
cd Anywhere-claude-mem
python3 -m anywhere_claude_mem install

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone https://github.com/Bleed00/Anywhere-claude-mem.git
cd Anywhere-claude-mem
pip install -e .
python -m anywhere_claude_mem install

On Windows the anywhere-claude-mem, anywhere-push and anywhere-pull commands come from pip install -e .; on Linux the installer writes them to ~/.local/bin.

The terminal UI differs by platform: Windows uses rich and questionary (installed by pip install -e .); Linux uses a zero-dependency ANSI UI, so no pip package or virtual environment is needed there.

The install command is interactive:

  1. asks which platform to set up — OpenCode or DeepSeek Harness;
  2. verifies Git, Python, curl, the chosen tool (OpenCode + the claude-mem plugin, or DeepSeek Harness + a DSH profile), and a running worker;
  3. offers to create a new private data repository (requires gh) or attach an existing one (always available);
  4. clones the data repository into data/;
  5. asks whether automatic synchronization should be enabled (and its thresholds);
  6. asks whether to pull memory when the chosen tool starts (startup pull);
  7. installs the watcher service and the startup-pull trigger for the platform you chose (an OpenCode plugin, or the dsh-anywhere-claude-mem DeepSeek Harness bundle).

When the installer finishes you can start using it immediately:

anywhere-claude-mem push          # export local memory to the data repository
anywhere-claude-mem pull          # import the data repository into the local worker
anywhere-claude-mem status        # show sync and service state

Choosing a platform

During install you pick opencode or deepseek. The choice changes only the startup-pull trigger:

  • opencode writes and registers the anywhere-claude-mem.js OpenCode startup plugin (the historical behavior);
  • deepseek installs the @bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem bundle into a DeepSeek Harness profile, which pulls the data repository at session start and pushes new memory back on "put" events.

Everything else — the git sync, the merge rules, the automatic watcher — is identical regardless of platform. The watcher's push trigger already reads claude-mem's own rows, so OpenCode and DeepSeek Harness observations are pushed the same way by the same code.

Prerequisites

Install these before running the installer (which ones are required depends on the platform you select):

  • OpenCode — for the opencode platform
  • claude-mem installed and configured as an OpenCode plugin (for the opencode platform)
  • DeepSeek Harness (dsh on PATH with at least one profile) — for the deepseek platform
  • a running claude-mem worker
  • Python 3.10 or newer
  • Git
  • curl
  • GitHub CLI (gh) — optional; only needed to create a new data repository. Without it you can still attach an existing one.
  • a private GitHub data repository (or permission to create one)

Install OpenCode and claude-mem

For the opencode platform:

opencode --version                                     # verify OpenCode
npx -y @thedotmack/claude-mem install --ide opencode   # install claude-mem

Install DeepSeek Harness

For the deepseek platform, install DeepSeek Harness and create a profile:

npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh web        # or `dsh plugin init <profile>` for a CLI profile
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add @deepseek-ai/dsh-base

The anywhere-claude-mem installer mounts @bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem into the profile you choose; the claude-mem worker still must be running.

Configure the worker, for example with OpenRouter. Save as ~/.claude-mem/settings.json:

{
  "CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIME": "worker",
  "CLAUDE_MEM_PROVIDER": "openrouter",
  "CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_MODEL": "poolside/laguna-xs-2.1:free",
  "CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Protect it and start the worker:

chmod 600 ~/.claude-mem/settings.json
npx claude-mem start
npx claude-mem status

Install GitHub CLI

Used only to create a new data repository. Skip this if you will attach an existing repository.

# Arch / CachyOS
sudo pacman -S github-cli

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install gh

# Fedora
sudo dnf install gh

# Windows
winget install GitHub.cli

Then authenticate:

gh auth login

Choose GitHub.com, HTTPS, and browser authentication.

Usage

Manual synchronization

Export the local memory to the private data repository:

anywhere-claude-mem push
anywhere-push          # alias

Import the data repository into the local worker:

anywhere-claude-mem pull
anywhere-pull          # alias

Both operations are idempotent: re-running a pull never creates duplicate records, and a push with nothing new produces no commit.

Run the first full export explicitly right after installing, so the accumulated memory is available on every machine:

anywhere-claude-mem push

Status

anywhere-claude-mem status

Shows whether the worker is reachable, the state of the local data repository, the automatic-sync configuration, and the watcher service status.

Automatic synchronization

During installation, enable automatic sync and configure:

  • observations per push (e.g. 1, 10, 30);
  • polling interval in seconds;
  • debounce interval in seconds.

The watcher starts from a baseline of the observations already present, so installing never pushes the whole database unexpectedly. After the first manual anywhere-claude-mem push, the watcher pushes automatically once the configured number of new observations is reached. A failed push is retried at the next polling cycle.

The watcher is installed per platform:

  • Linux: a systemd --user service (anywhere-claude-mem-watch.service) with restart on failure.
  • Windows: a per-user registry Run key that launches the watcher hidden at logon via pythonw.exe. It uses no elevated APIs, so it works on accounts where Task Scheduler registration is blocked; as a trade-off it does not auto-restart on crash (it starts again at the next logon). Output is appended to %APPDATA%\anywhere-claude-mem\watch.log.

The installer also registers a startup-pull trigger for the platform you chose. For opencode that is an OpenCode startup plugin that runs anywhere-claude-mem startup-pull whenever OpenCode starts; for deepseek it is the @bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem bundle in the selected DSH profile, which pulls at session start and pushes new memory back on "put" events. Both run with retries while the worker is still starting and do not modify the claude-mem plugin.

Useful commands:

anywhere-claude-mem status                 # overall state incl. service
anywhere-claude-mem service status         # watcher service state
anywhere-claude-mem service remove         # stop and remove the watcher service
anywhere-claude-mem watch                  # run the watcher in the foreground
anywhere-claude-mem startup-pull           # test the startup pull manually
systemctl --user status anywhere-claude-mem-watch.service        # Linux service state
journalctl --user -u anywhere-claude-mem-watch.service -f        # Linux watcher logs
Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\anywhere-claude-mem\watch.log" -Tail 20   # Windows watcher log

Uninstall

anywhere-claude-mem uninstall        # remove service, launchers, startup trigger and config
anywhere-claude-mem reinstall        # uninstall and run the installer again

uninstall removes whichever startup trigger this install registered: the OpenCode plugin, or the @bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem bundle from the saved DSH profile.

Data model and merge safety

The data repository contains:

sessions.json
observations.json
summaries.json
prompts.json

Records are merged using stable cross-device keys instead of local SQLite numeric IDs:

  • sessions: platform plus content session ID;
  • observations: memory session, title, and creation timestamp;
  • summaries: memory session ID;
  • prompts: platform, content session ID, and prompt number.

The first push exports the complete local knowledge base. Later pushes preserve the complete accumulated data while Git stores only the differences in each commit. Deletions and edits are propagated through tombstones so every machine converges on the same state.

Configuration

The local Anywhere-claude-mem configuration is stored at:

~/.config/anywhere-claude-mem/config.json       # Linux
%APPDATA%\anywhere-claude-mem\config.json       # Windows

It contains local paths, the data repository URL, the selected platform (opencode or deepseek), the chosen DSH profile (dsh_profile, when deepseek), and automatic-sync settings. It does not contain API keys.

Watcher state is stored separately at:

~/.config/anywhere-claude-mem/watch-state.json  # Linux
%APPDATA%\anywhere-claude-mem\watch-state.json  # Windows

Security

  • Keep the data repository private. It contains prompts, observations, and summaries from your sessions.
  • Never commit ~/.claude-mem/settings.json or API keys.
  • Use chmod 600 ~/.claude-mem/settings.json (Linux).
  • The wrapper repository is safe to publish only after its Git history has been audited and no personal data has ever been committed.

Development

On Linux the CLI runs from the wrapper with no installation:

python3 -m anywhere_claude_mem --help
python3 -m unittest discover tests

On Windows, install the package (editable) to get the anywhere-claude-mem, anywhere-push and anywhere-pull commands and the rich/questionary UI:

pip install -e .

anywhere-claude-mem install bootstraps this automatically on Windows when the commands or the UI dependencies are missing.

The runtime uses the Python standard library, plus rich and questionary for the Windows terminal UI (Linux uses a zero-dependency ANSI UI), and the system git and gh commands.

Platform-specific pieces

The sync core (data.py, sync.py, git.py, watcher.py, the worker HTTP client) is platform-independent. Only these pieces differ per OS or per coding tool:

  • service.py dispatches to service_linux.py (systemd user services) or service_windows.py (logon autostart via the per-user Run key).
  • config.py resolves ~/.config/anywhere-claude-mem on POSIX and %APPDATA%\anywhere-claude-mem on Windows, and skips chmod on Windows.
  • lock.py checks process liveness with os.kill(pid, 0) on POSIX and OpenProcess/GetExitCodeProcess on Windows.
  • worker.py discovers the claude-mem worker port from worker.pid/ supervisor.json, then env/settings, then a health probe; it never relies on a uid that does not exist on Windows.
  • ui.py dispatches to ui_rich.py (rich + questionary, Windows) or ui_ansi.py (zero-dependency ANSI, Linux).
  • cli.py generates POSIX symlink launchers or relies on pip console scripts on Windows, and hides console windows for background subprocesses.
  • deepseek.py discovers DSH profiles under $DSH_HOME/profiles and mounts (or removes) the @bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem bundle via dsh plugin.
  • git.py and cli.py run background subprocesses with CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows so no console window flashes.

The data format and worker API are platform- and tool-independent.

DeepSeek Harness plugin

The dsh-plugin/ directory is a self-contained, installable DeepSeek Harness bundle (@bleed00/dsh-anywhere-claude-mem). It makes DSH a full peer of the sync: on agent/session-start it runs anywhere-claude-mem startup-pull (the same command the OpenCode plugin runs), and as prompts/tool results land in the claude-mem worker it pushes the new memory back to git through a debounced, fire-and-forget anywhere-claude-mem push.

It never touches the worker API or SQLite — it only shells out to the anywhere-claude-mem CLI. Because anywhere-claude-mem push is idempotent and serialized by anywhere-claude-mem's SyncLock, the automatic watcher can stay active as an independent fallback without conflict.

cd dsh-plugin
