Session 47. AI asks what framework you're on. Again.

Every AI coding tool forgets you. Every session starts at zero. You've explained your stack more times than you've shipped features.

How it works

Three commands. Zero re-explaining.

From install to a project that knows you. Under two minutes.

01

Download and authenticate

Grab the binary for your platform from GitHub Releases. Extract, add to PATH, and run lore auth login to connect your account. Free tier gives you 300K tokens/month to start, no credit card.

02

Initialize your project

Run lore init in any codebase. Lore scans your project, detects patterns, and builds a wiki: architecture, conventions, entities. Instant context.

03

Start building

Open the REPL and talk. Lore knows your stack, your patterns, your decisions from every previous session. It proposes diffs, you review. It teaches, you learn. The wiki grows with every conversation.

See it in action

Watch Lore work.

Wiki memory, streaming AI, and teach mode — all in one session.

What makes it different

Three pillars. One tool.

Memory, transparency, and teaching. No other AI coding tool does all three.

01
🧠
Wiki memory
A .lore/ directory at your project root. Architecture decisions, conventions, entity maps. Session 50 has the full context of sessions 1 through 49. Git-tracked. Human-readable. Yours.
02
💰
Live cost meter
See your token spend every request. Monthly budget caps that actually enforce. Warnings at 80%. No surprise bills, no hidden overages.
03
🎓
Teach me mode
Three depth levels: brief, standard, deep. Lore explains what it did and why. Learning docs auto-save. Export as PDF. Ship understanding, not just code.
04
🛡️
Diff preview + rollback
Every change gets a visual diff before approval. Git snapshots auto-created. One command rollback. Self-check runs your build and auto-fixes failures.
05
🔍
Smart project scan
lore init reads your codebase and builds a wiki automatically. File structure, patterns, conventions. Context on day one, not day ten.
06
⚔️
CLI-first, always
No IDE lock-in. No VS Code extension. A standalone binary that works in any terminal on any project. Windows, macOS, Linux.
What people build

From idea to working code.

Real examples of what developers ship with Lore — in a single session.
