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.

From the project's README
