oobo

Oobo is an open-source tool that gives Git a memory. It keeps track of not just the code changes but also the work and AI sessions that led to those changes. Oobo adds AI context to Git commits, creating special markers called anchors. These anchors include details about the AI sessions used, how many tokens were used, which parts of the code were written by AI and which by humans, the AI model used, and how long the session lasted. This extra information is shared through a Git branch, so when you copy a project, you get a more complete history.

Oobo stores two types of memory. "Repo memory" travels with your code and is shared when the project is copied. "Developer memory" is kept on your computer and covers all your projects. This allows you to search across different projects, see how many tokens you have used, and track costs. You can find out which project a specific code fix was made in or how many tokens you used each day.

Getting started with Oobo is simple. You download and run an installation script, then typeoobo setup. You can use Oobo much like Git, with commands likeoobo commit,oobo push, andoobo status. To see the detailed history, you can use commands likeoobo anchorsoroobo sessions. Theoobo sessionscommand offers an easy way to look through AI chat sessions. You can also useoobo sessions searchto find specific conversations andoobo statsto analyze token usage and see who wrote what code.

Oobo is especially useful for AI agents that often write code. Without Oobo, it's hard to know which agent wrote a piece of code, how much it cost in tokens, or which conversation led to a specific function. Oobo provides structured information for agent commands and works with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI. It can also be used as a special skill for these agents.

Beyond the command line, Oobo aims to build a complete system for teams that work with both humans and AI. This includes a "Semantic Timeline" to show the cause and effect of work and decisions, "Alignment" to make sure engineering efforts match business goals, "Risk & Health" monitoring to check for system stress and code quality, and "Clarity Reports" for high-level engineering insights. The main idea is that as software creation becomes more automated, understanding how it was actually made becomes more important.

Oobo finds and organizes AI sessions by looking at data from tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Copilot Chat. It works by reading existing local data and doesn't need any special plugins, browser extensions, or API keys. Oobo is designed to be private. It doesn't change AI tool directories, works on your computer unless you set it up to share information, removes secrets from conversations before sharing, and doesn't send any data by default. Your chat transcripts stay local unless you choose to share them. The anchor metadata is always shared through Git.
