Engram

The gateway to code memory.

Engram is a privacy-first "Shadow Guard" for your AI coding workflow. It creates a semantic memory of your past mistakes and proactively injects them into your AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Cline) to prevent them continuously.

Why Engram?

Most AI tools have amnesia. They make the same mistake today that you fixed yesterday.

• SonarLint simply catches syntax errors. It doesn't know your history or specific project constraints.
• Cloud Tools require sending your code to external servers. Engram is 100% Local.
• Engram remembers. It watches your workflow, learns your specific pain points, and stops the AI from repeating them.

Core Capabilities

AI Whisperer (Context Injection)

Don't just fix mistakes, teach your AI to avoid them. Engram translates your repetitive errors into natural language rules.

• Universal Support: Automatically updates configuration files for Cursor and Copilot.
• Smart Copy: Wraps your code with relevant mistake history when pasting into ChatGPT.
• Prompt Injection Defense: Sanitizes all context to ensure security.

The Shadow Guard (Real-Time Policing)

A firewall for AI-generated code.

• Honeymoon Mode: New mistakes are shown as subtle Info warnings (Blue), giving you a chance to fix them without interruption.
• Strict Enforcement: Promote rules to "Blockers" (Red) only when you need absolute compliance.
• Interactive Triage: Quickly ignore rules for specific file types (like tests) with a single click.

Mistake Shield

• Active Warning System: Detects when you are about to repeat a known bad pattern.
• Memory Cards: Hover over any warning to see exactly when this mistake happened before and how you fixed it.

Predictive Intuition (Auto-Enabled)

It reads your mind.

• Ghost Text: Shows predictions when you hesitate.
• Prompt Director: Knows when you want to ask a question.
• Telepathy: Broadcasts its thoughts to .engram/intuition.md so other AI agents can read them.

Quick Start

1. Install the extension.
2. Code as usual. Engram learns quietly in the background.
3. Watch for ghost text warnings or predictions.
4. Paste smarter. Use "Engram: Smart Copy" when asking AI for help.
5. Refine. Use the blue "Shadow Guard" warnings to tune your rules.

FAQ

Q: Does my code leave my computer? A: No. Engram is 100% local. All embeddings, rules, and logic run on your machine.

Q: Will it slow down my editor? A: No. The Shadow Guard uses a debounced background process (500ms) to ensure it never blocks your typing.

Q: Can I share my rules? A: Yes! Use Engram: Import Rules to load any JSON rule pack. Check out our Starter Kit for free bug patterns.
