Research knowledge repository with semantic search, citations, and project lineage tracking
npm install @getlore/cli> The lore behind your projects. — getlore.ai · npm
Every project accumulates lore — the decisions, conversations, research, and context that explain why things are the way they are. Most of it gets lost between chat threads and forgotten docs. Lore keeps it searchable and citable.
A research knowledge repository with semantic search and citations. Unlike memory systems that store processed facts, Lore preserves your original sources and lets you cite exactly what was said, by whom, and when.
``bash
npm install -g @getlore/cli
What It Does
- Hybrid Search — Semantic + keyword search with Reciprocal Rank Fusion
- Citations — Every insight links back to the original source with context
- MCP Integration — 9 tools for Claude Desktop and Claude Code
- Agentic Research — Claude iteratively explores your knowledge, synthesizes findings with citations
- Multi-Machine Sync — Content hash deduplication across machines
- Universal Formats — Markdown, JSONL, JSON, PDF, images, CSV, HTML, and more

- Node.js 18+
- OpenAI API key (embeddings)
- Anthropic API key (metadata extraction & research)
- Lore account (free — sign up via
lore auth login)How Sync Works
1. Discovery (free) — Finds files, computes SHA256 hashes, checks for duplicates
2. Processing (new files only) — Claude extracts metadata, OpenAI generates embeddings, stores in Supabase
Same content on different machines produces the same hash — no duplicate processing.
