goosedump

goosedump browses, searches, converts, and compacts saved coding-agent conversations. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Crush, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenCode, and Pi.

It builds on ideas from lllyasviel/VCC.

Install

Prebuilt binaries are available for Linux x64, macOS arm64, and Windows x64:

npm install --global @jarkkojs/goosedump

To build from source:

cargo build --release

Source builds require CMake, Clang/libclang, and a C++ compiler for local model inference.

Quick start

goosedump list
goosedump show pi:context-id
goosedump grep pi:context-id '*database*'
goosedump search pi:context-id 'migration failure'
goosedump compact pi:context-id

Use goosedump --help or the manual page for all commands and options.

Features

• Lists and filters contexts across all supported providers.
• Renders provider-native output and converts conversations between provider formats.
• Searches session history with BM25 ranking and glob matching.
• Imports contexts into another provider's store; pair with delete to move them.
• Recalls durable memory harvested from compacted context ranges.

Persistent memory

compact emits a summary without retaining the selected range by default. Pass --train to harvest it into the platform state directory (~/.local/state/goosedump/goosedump.db on Linux). Use recall to search memory, stats to inspect it, and forget to remove stored content or a context's sightings.

Memory keeps historical provenance. Deleting or moving a source context does not remove previously harvested content. Pass compact --train only when the selected range may be retained. Stored text is not secret-filtered.

mutate performs an optional local merge of two archived memories. It normally waits for sufficient usage evidence; mutate --force is intended for testing. Embedding and compaction models are downloaded on first use, or ahead of time with goosedump pull. The mutation model is downloaded when first needed.

Pi extension

The bundled pi-goosedump extension adds session-history tools, durable-memory recall, and goosedump compaction to Pi:

pi install npm:pi-goosedump

Development

cargo test --all-targets
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --check

The published Linux x64 binary is a static glibc PIE.
