byterover-cli
ByteRover CLI (brv) - The portable memory layer for autonomous coding agents (formerly Cipher)
Curating project knowledge into a structured context tree that persists across sessions and is shared between coding tools and teammates.
You cannot sync project knowledge to a cloud service; sharing across tools and teammates is described through cloud sync.
About byterover-cli
ByteRover CLI (brv) gives AI coding agents persistent, structured memory. It lets developers curate project knowledge into a context tree, sync it to the cloud, and share it across tools and teammates.
Run brv in any project directory to start an interactive REPL powered by your choice of LLM. The agent understands your codebase through an agentic map, can read and write files, execute code, and store knowledge for future sessions.
All benchmarks are run using the production byterover-cli codebase in this repository - no separate research prototype.
byterover-cli is an open-source project written primarily in TypeScript, with 5.0k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in June 2026.
