Memov

VibeGit - AI Coding History

AI-assisted version control using Memov. Track every AI interaction with your codebase.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the memov Python package which provides the mem CLI command.

Installation Options

Choose one of the following methods:

# Option 1: Official install script (recommended)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/memovai/memov/main/install.sh | bash

Verify Installation

mem

Initialize in Your Project

cd your-project
mem init

How to Use

There are two ways to use VibeGit:

1. Skill scripts (this folder): run ./scripts/*.sh to call the local mem CLI.
2. MCP tools (Claude Code): use the MCP server tools like mcp__mem-mcp__snap.

They are related but not identical:

• Skill scripts are a thin wrapper over mem CLI.
• MCP tools may add extra behavior (e.g. auto-track untracked files, auto-sync for RAG features).

Commands

All commands should be run from the skill directory using the scripts provided.

Core Operations

Navigation

Web UI

Before running mem ui start, confirm where you want to open the UI:

• Which project directory should the UI read from?
  • If not sure, run pwd and use --loc <that path>.

Suggested confirmation prompt:

Automatic Recording

After every AI coding session, record the interaction:

./scripts/snap.sh \
  --files "api.py,tests/test_api.py" \
  --prompt "Add authentication endpoint" \
  --response "Added /login POST endpoint with JWT token generation"

Parameters

• --files: Comma-separated list of files that were modified
• --prompt or -p: The user's original request
• --response or -r: Summary of what was done
• --by-user or -u: Mark as human edit (vs AI)

RAG Features (Optional)

Some features (semantic search, validate, vibe_debug/vibe_search tools) require installing extra dependencies.

• CLI: install with pip install memov[rag] then run mem sync once.
• MCP: those tools may not appear unless RAG dependencies are installed.

Examples

Record a bug fix

./scripts/snap.sh \
  --files "auth.py" \
  --prompt "Fix null pointer in login" \
  --response "Added null check for user object at L45"

View recent history

./scripts/history.sh --limit 10

Jump to previous state

./scripts/jump.sh a1b2c3d

Direct CLI Usage

You can also use the mem CLI directly:

# Initialize
mem init

# Track new files
mem track file1.py file2.py -p "Initial tracking"

# Snapshot changes
mem snap --files file1.py -p "Added feature X" -r "Implemented..."

# View history
mem history

# Show specific commit
mem show a1b2c3d

# Jump to snapshot
mem jump a1b2c3d

What Gets Recorded

Each snapshot captures:

• Prompt: What you asked the AI to do
• Response: What the AI said it did
• Files: Which files were changed
• Diff: Actual code changes
• Timestamp: When it happened
• Source: AI or human

Benefits

• Never lose context: Every AI interaction is recorded
• Time travel: Jump to any point in your coding history
• Understand changes: See not just what changed, but why

Troubleshooting

"memov CLI not found" error

If you see this error when running any script, memov is not installed. Run:

# Quick check
./install.sh

# Or install manually
pip install memov

Scripts not executable

chmod +x scripts/*.sh install.sh
