What it does
About Qarinah
Qarinah is an open-source, local-first context engine designed to supply persistent, evidence-linked project memory for AI coding tools. By maintaining an append-only JSONL event record within the project workspace, Qarinah compiles verifiable context packs containing content hashes and event citations. This enables software developers to transition seamlessly between platforms like Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and CLI tools without replaying chat logs. Qarinah also offers workspace freshness checks and local static dashboards to track structural changes, decisions, and source citations.
