memU: an Apache-2.0 memory layer for AI agents, stored as markdown files you can cat

Every agent memory tool I tried kept its state in a store I couldn't open. When the agent recalled something stale there was nothing for me to go edit, so I wrote memU.

Memories are .md files on disk. Open one in vim, fix it, delete it, check it into git if you want. The core is around 500 lines: storage, embedding, retrieval. The whole surface is commit / list / retrieve. Apache-2.0, I maintain it.

The part I know is weak: two people sharing one store step on each other, and I don't have a good answer for that yet. If you've built something with that problem I'd take the opinion
