Shared Memory

All guides use the same Engram API key format. If you use the same key across multiple tools, they share memory automatically:


Claude Code stores a decision → Cursor finds it next session
Codex investigates a bug → Claude Desktop recalls the resolution
Windsurf sets up a project → Claude Code knows the architecture

See the Getting Started guide for initial setup and API key creation.
