Your agent is about to re-debug something you fixed in March.

Fix it in Codex, and Claude Code remembers. deja indexes the sessions all 41 of your coding agents already wrote to disk — months of history from before you installed it — and hands the right one back in whichever agent asks.

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshulcz/deja-vu/main/install.sh | sh

then deja install --auto — ten seconds to install, ten to index, and the next session already knows

The most accurate, the cheapest and the fastest coding-agent memory we could measure. I maintain deja-vu, so every driver and the corpus are in the repository — re-run a row you doubt. All the runs.

The difference

A memory that records forward knows nothing about last March. deja starts full.

The transcripts are the memory. There is no capture step to remember to run and no stack to stand up — your agents have been writing this to disk all along.

Run it bare

deja with no arguments opens a search over every agent's history, in the terminal you already have open.

The deja screen: typing a search, reading the session it found, and continuing it in another agent

It opens on the sessions behind your uncommitted change, then the recent ones in this project, and the list answers as you type. ↵ reads a session at the match, r resumes it in its own agent, o continues it in any other agent with what it asked, decided and left open. Type codex:, yesterday or in:api to filter, and / inside a session to find a word in it. tab switches between this project, all projects and Deleted, the sessions an agent deleted that deja still holds; ? lists every key. DEJA_TUI=0 keeps a bare deja to the text brief.

Try it — a live search over a fake history

Type what you half-remember. Get the session where it was solved.

$ deja

demo corpus: 16 synthetic sessions — press / anywhere to search. The real thing searches your own history, retroactively.

How it works 3 steps

01

It reads what is already there

Every coding agent writes its sessions to disk. deja parses those stores in place — nothing is uploaded.

02

It builds a local index

Credentials are stripped on the way in. Tens of seconds for a couple of gigabytes, and the index is about a tenth of the corpus.

03

Your agents recall from it

An MCP tool every agent can call, and hooks where the agent has them: at session start, before a file is edited or a command runs, after one fails, and on the way back from a compaction.

Works with 41

What a year of it looks like

Your own work, wrapped.

deja stats card: a year of agent sessions, the agents they came from, and the longest one

deja stats --card draws it in your terminal; give it a filename and it writes the SVG for a profile README; this page turns that SVG into a PNG in your browser.

Private by construction 0 accounts

Nothing leaves your machine unless you ask it to.

Indexing and search are local. Keys, tokens, private key blocks and a password someone typed into the chat are stripped at index time, so the cache is safe to keep. No account, no telemetry — even this page keeps what it remembers about you in your own browser.
