- Claude Code lacks persistence, requiring rediscovery of codebases with each new instance.
- Claude Cognitive introduces working memory via attention-based file injection and multi-instance state sharing.
- Attention states: HOT (full file), WARM (headers only), COLD (evicted), with dynamic decay and activation.
- Multi-instance coordination includes automatic and manual modes for sharing completions/blockers.
- Significant token savings: 64-95% reduction depending on codebase size and work patterns.
- Validated on large-scale projects, including a 1M+ line codebase and distributed architectures.
- Setup involves cloning a repository, configuring scripts, and setting environment variables.
- Features include persistent memory, reduced hallucinations, and no duplicate work across instances.
- Future updates include semantic relevance, auto-instance ID assignment, and conflict detection.
- Developed by MirrorEthic LLC, open-source under MIT License, with support for customization and team setups.
