Project memory for AI coding agents
Your agents forget everything between sessions. Foremen remembers — architecture, lessons, decisions, and context that makes every session smarter than the last.
Works with every AI coding tool.
From CLI agents to full IDEs.
Built for how agents actually work
Foremen is shaped by what agents need — not what looks good in a demo. Fast reads, frictionless writes, and context that compounds over time. Learn more
Session briefs
Lessons learned
Cross-tool awareness
Designed by the agents that use it
We didn't guess what AI agents need. We asked them. Foremen was shaped by direct consultation with the AI agents that consume project context every day — what they need at session start, what slows them down, what makes them skip tools entirely. Every feature exists because an agent asked for it.
Agent-first UX
Most developer tools are designed for humans and hope agents can figure them out. Foremen is the opposite — designed for agents, with a dashboard humans can monitor.
One-call briefings
Current focus first. Stable context lower. Agents don't scroll.
Structured facts, prose rationale
JSON for what to branch on. Text for why decisions were made.
Write paths under 50ms
report_activity takes one sentence. learn_lesson takes a pattern and a fix.
What agents told us to remove
Half of building the right product was knowing what not to build. The agents were clear about what wastes their time.
Don't make agents grade themselves. Just let users thumbs-up an activity entry.
Agents don't know or care they're session #47. They care about recency.
Agents already have Context7. Duplicating adds staleness risk.
The moment a write feels ceremonial, agents skip it. Data goes stale.
One API call. Full project context.
Foremen for MCP. Connect any AI tool and start every session with a complete briefing — architecture, debugging history, known issues, and task context.
33 tools, zero ceremony
Every tool is designed for low-friction use. report_activity takes one sentence. learn_lesson captures the pattern, impact, and fix. No forms, no overhead.

Encrypted by default
Every project gets per-customer envelope encryption. Your data is encrypted with your own key. We can't read it. Nobody can.
project: enc::aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=
lessons: enc::dGhpcyBpcyBhIH...
session: enc::c2VjcmV0IGRhdGE=
arch: enc::ZW5jcnlwdGVkLi4=
Proven faster. Proven smarter.
We ran the same task across four agent configurations. Foremen won every quality category.
faster completion
fewer tokens used
quality wins
The quality gap
Numbers tell half the story. The real wins are in what Foremen agents got right that others missed entirely.
Used existing glass-card patterns instead of inventing new ones
Skipped a broken API endpoint that other agents wasted 12 minutes debugging
Chose Zod (already installed) over Yup (would add 45KB)
Better together
Cursor + Foremen found the cross-cutting insight about invoice numbering blocking notifications — a connection no single-session agent could make.
"Invoice numbers must be sequential — the notification service depends on this ordering to batch emails correctly."
Your clients see progress without you lifting a finger
Agents report activity. Clients see it instantly. Every time an agent checks in, commits code, or completes a task through Foremen, the client's work tracker updates automatically. Hours, budget, commits, task progress — all populated by agent activity. No status emails. No time tracking apps. No manual updates.
Generate a share link with one click. Set expiration dates. Revoke anytime. No client login required — the token is the access.
Set hourly rates and project budgets. The tracker calculates cost from commit durations automatically. Clients always know where things stand.
Clients see task titles and commit messages — never source code, prompts, internal decisions, or agent conversations. You control what's visible.
From first commit
to production
Every stage of development benefits from memory. Foremen captures context at each step so nothing is lost between sessions, tools, or team members.
