Add Kairos: The Context Keeper - AI Agent Memory System

[turtir-ai]

Project Information

Name: Kairos: The Context Keeper
Category: Open-source projects, Memory management, Build your own
Repository: https://github.com/turtir-ai/kairos-context-keeper

Description

Kairos is an open-source contextual memory system designed to solve the "contextual amnesia" problem in AI coding assistants. It provides persistent memory, project context awareness, and intelligent agent orchestration.

Key Features

• 🧠 Layered Memory Architecture: Combines Knowledge Graph for structural relationships with Vector Database for semantic search
• 🤖 Agent Guild System: Specialized autonomous agents for different tasks (coding, analysis, research, system monitoring)
• 🏛️ Integrity Guardian: Enforces project rules and coding standards defined in .kiro/steering/ configuration
• 🔌 Universal Integration (MCP): JSON-RPC server for seamless integration with AI IDEs like Cursor, Kiro, and others
• ⚙️ Daemon Architecture: Runs as background service with single kairos start command
• 📈 Self-Improving: Learns from mistakes and optimizes performance over time

Why Add Kairos?

Kairos addresses a critical pain point in AI-assisted development - the loss of project context and memory across sessions. Unlike simple chatbots, it provides:

1. Persistent Memory: Maintains project knowledge across sessions
2. Context Awareness: Understands project architecture and coding standards
3. Agent Orchestration: Coordinates multiple specialized AI agents
4. Universal Integration: Works with any AI IDE through MCP protocol
5. Self-Improvement: Continuously learns and optimizes

This makes it a valuable addition to the awesome-ai-agents list as it represents a new category of memory-enhanced AI systems.
