What is Experience Engine and how does it work?

It's a Node.js server that learns from AI agent mistakes, distilling them into shrinking principles and warnings. Runs silent, hooks tools, evolves weekly.

Does Experience Engine work with my AI coding tools like Claude Code?

Yep — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI. Any Edit/Write/Bash workflow. Zero deps, just Node.

Will Experience Engine replace tools like Mem0 or Letta?

It shrinks where they bloat, generalizes where they match exactly. Better for long-term use, especially costs and smarts. Word count: ~950.

Experience Engine memory lifecycle: raw mistakes evolve into shrinking principles

⚡ Key Takeaways

Experience Engine shrinks AI memory into principles, cutting tokens and errors as agents 'learn'. 𝕏
Unlike Mem0 or Zep, it generalizes mistakes via clustering and graphs — catches unseen bugs. 𝕏
Zero deps, local-first, full API: ready for Claude Code and beyond, but test for over-generalization. 𝕏
