ByteRover CLI (brv) - The portable memory layer for autonomous coding agents (formerly Cipher)

Editor's note

ByteRover CLI (`brv`) is a persistent memory layer for AI coding agents, installable via npm or a shell script, that stores structured project knowledge in a context tree and makes it queryable across sessions, machines, and teammates. Developers interact with it through an interactive REPL, a React/Ink terminal UI, or a web dashboard (`brv webui`), using commands like `/curate` to save facts tied to specific source files and `/query` to retrieve them. The tool exposes 24 built-in agent tools covering file operations, code execution, and knowledge search, and it connects to over 20 LLM providers including Anthropic. It integrates with Claude Code and more than 22 other coding agents via MCP, and supports git-style version control for the context tree with branch, commit, and push/pull operations. A cloud tier adds team sync, shared knowledge spaces, and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. A standout detail is the benchmark performance: the system achieves 96.1% accuracy on LoCoMo and 92.8% on LongMemEval-S, both evaluated against the production codebase. Developers working on long-running or multi-contributor codebases benefit most.

You MUST use this skill for: (1) 'Show me how ByteRover works', 'walk me through ByteRover', tour, intro, walkthrough, or onboarding requests — runs a guided 90-second introduction; (2) gathering contexts before any work; (3) saving knowledge after any change. ByteRover stores and retrieves project patterns, decisions, and architectural rules in `.brv/context-tree`. Iron Law: query before thinking, curate after implementing.
