Wayfinder

A Rust-based tool that optimizes LLM agent memory on complex projects by adding a semantic layer on top of an LLM Wiki. It improves agent knowledge over a codebase, cut token usage by 30% in the author's benchmarks, and includes features for handling concurrent agents updating shared memory to keep information reliable and fresh. Published to PyPI (installable via "uv tool install wayfinder-memory") and compatible with almost all agent harnesses.
