The project grew from retrospective transcript search into an agent-memory tool with automatic recall, MCP integration, handoff, redaction, and synchronization features. ### Adoption history Distributed through GitHub releases, Homebrew, npm, Scoop, WinGet, and agent-specific plugin ecosystems. Its README documents support for numerous coding-agent harnesses. ### How it is used Users install the `deja` executable, index existing agent histories, search them from the terminal, or run `deja install` to wire recall into supported agents. Common commands cover search, context recovery, file history, error remediation, handoff, synchronization, and MCP service. ### Why package nerds care deja-vu is notable to package users as a local, zero-dependency bridge among otherwise separate coding-agent history stores. It combines a conventional CLI package with MCP, hooks, plugins, local indexing, redaction, and cross-machine SSH synchronization. ### Timeline - 2026: Public changelog documents rapid expansion of recall, packaging, agent integrations, and reporting features. - July 2026: Version 0.15.0 added visible déjà-vu recall moments and a terminal activity brief. ### Related projects - Integrates with Codex CLI, Claude Code, Cline, opencode, aider, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Goose, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Zed, and other coding-agent harnesses. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for deja-vu. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
