Mneme is an open-source orchestration harness and memory governance framework developed by MnemeHQ designed to prevent architectural drift across the agentic AI software development lifecycle (SDLC). In day-to-day operations, Mneme acts as an enforcement layer and middleware for AI agents, integrating with orchestrators like LangChain to enforce repository-level architectural decisions and project memory. It tracks decisions and constraints using structured project memory records (such as `.mneme/project_memory.json`) and Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), validating modifications and agent outputs against defined project guidelines during local runs and pull request reviews. What differentiates Mneme from general-purpose coding agents is its strict focus on architectural drift prevention and memory provenance. Rather than acting purely as an interactive chat agent or code generator, Mneme enforces integrity rules—such as ADR source hash verification and PR isolation gates—ensuring that autonomous agent changes adhere to persistent repository rules and constraints. Mneme is hosted on GitHub under an open-source model. It is actively maintained with integrations for agent middleware, continuous memory tracking, and CI/CD gating workflows.
