history
Project history and usage
deja-vu is a local CLI and MCP memory layer that indexes existing coding-agent sessions and recalls relevant prior work without requiring a hosted service.
Project history
Vladislav Shulcz created deja-vu as a local search and recall layer over coding-agent session histories. 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.
