The Code Was in Git. The AI Conversations TO Implement it,Was Gone

Short summary

When switching between AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT), conversations are lost while code remains in Git. ContextVault is an open-source, local-first tool that preserves AI conversation context, decisions, and problems in searchable Markdown, with CLI, browser extension, and Electron desktop interfaces. It maintains a single source of truth so context created in the desktop app is visible to CLI users without conversion.

• •AI agent context (conversations, decisions, problems) is lost when switching tools, even though code is preserved in Git
• •ContextVault stores this context as local Markdown, searchable via CLI (contextvault history/decisions/problems) and a visual Electron desktop app
• •Single source of truth in .contextvault Markdown ensures compatibility: CLI, browser extension, and desktop users see the same sessions

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
