The coding assistant
that remembers

A terminal-native AI coding assistant powered by live engineering memory. It remembers your codebase, team findings, decisions, and tests — then compiles the right context for every task.

$ npm install -g lakecode click to copy copied!
terminal
$ lakecode "add retry logic to the payment service"
 
Compiling context...
Memory: retry conventions from ms-009
Memory: payment service architecture decision
Memory: exponential backoff standard (team)
Code: src/services/payment.ts loaded
Code: src/utils/retry.ts loaded
 
Context compiled: 3 memories, 2 files, 1 convention
Applied team retry pattern with exponential
backoff. Changes ready for review.

Building is easy. Maintaining is hard.

Every team can ship v1. The hard part is year two — when the original authors have moved on, the docs are stale, and the only record of why things work is scattered across closed PRs and Slack threads. Coding assistants make this worse, not better.

Most coding assistants start from zero every session. They can write code, but they can't remember why code exists.

Wander

They explore the codebase from scratch every time, burning tokens on files they have already seen and patterns they have already learned.

Compact

When the context window fills, they summarize and compress — losing the specific details that actually matter for the next step.

Forget

Close the session and everything is gone. The next session knows nothing about what was learned, decided, or resolved before.

Lakecode gives agents a working memory

A persistent, structured memory layer that makes every session build on the last.

1

Remember

Lakecode captures what matters from every session: architecture decisions, debugging findings, team conventions, test outcomes. Memory persists across sessions, branches, and teammates.

2

Compile

Before the agent writes a single line, Lakecode compiles the right context for the task. Not everything — just the memories, code, and conventions that are relevant right now.

3

Act

The agent starts with exactly the context it needs. No wandering. No re-exploration. It produces better code, faster, because it already knows what your team knows.

Works where engineers already work

Terminal-native. No browser tab. No IDE plugin. No context switching.

terminal
$ lakecode "why does the auth test fail on CI?"
 
Memory: auth refactor (3 days ago)
Memory: CI env differs from local
Test: auth.test.ts line 42 assertion
 
The token expiry was changed from 1h to 15m
in the auth refactor, but the CI test still
uses a mock with 1h expiry. Fix applied.
  • Runs in your terminal

    Works alongside git, your editor, and your existing workflow. No new windows.

  • Natural language or slash commands

    Describe what you need in plain English, or use structured commands for repeatable workflows.

  • Reads your project in place

    No uploading, syncing, or indexing step. Lakecode reads your local project and integrates with git context.

  • Works with any language or framework

    TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java — if it lives in a repo, Lakecode can work with it.

Every session makes the next one smarter

Memory compounds over time. The more you use Lakecode, the less context you need to provide.

ARCHITECTURE DECISIONS

Why the team chose event sourcing. Why the API uses camelCase. Why auth is handled at the gateway. Decisions persist so agents stop re-litigating them.

DEBUGGING FINDINGS

Root causes, environment quirks, and known failure modes. When a similar error appears, the agent already knows what was tried and what worked.

TEAM CONVENTIONS

Error handling patterns. Test structure. Naming standards. Import ordering. The unwritten rules that make code feel like it belongs in your codebase.

TEST OUTCOMES

Which tests are flaky and why. Which edge cases have been validated. What coverage gaps exist. Agents write better tests because they know what has already been tested.

What feeds the substrate

Lakecode starts learning from your first session. Connect more sources to accelerate.

YOUR CODE

Repo structure, imports, interfaces, test files, configs. Lakecode reads the project in place — no indexing step, no upload.

YOUR SESSIONS

Findings, fixes, failed approaches, root causes. Every debugging session can write durable memory that future sessions draw from.

YOUR PRs

Design decisions, rationale, review comments, rejected approaches. The reasoning behind changes persists beyond the merge.

YOUR DOCS

Architecture docs, runbooks, ADRs, Confluence pages. Structured knowledge extracted and linked to the entities they describe.

YOUR TEAM

Promoted findings, shared constraints, conventions. Individual memory becomes team knowledge through a review process.

YOUR TESTS

Test outcomes, flaky tests, coverage gaps, edge cases validated. Agents write better tests because they know what has been tested.

Get started in 30 seconds

Not more context. Better context.

The context compiler selects only what matters for each task — reducing noise and token waste.

"add caching to the user service"

  • → caching convention (Redis, 15m TTL)
  • → user service architecture memo
  • → existing cache utility code

"fix the flaky order test"

  • → known flaky test finding (race condition)
  • → order service test patterns
  • → CI environment differences memo

"refactor billing to use the new API"

  • → new API migration decision doc
  • → billing module dependencies map
  • → error handling convention

13.3x fewer input tokens

Measured on real engineering tasks. Compiled context replaces brute-force exploration.

ms-009: retry logic task benchmark

Without Lakecode

  • Input tokens: 142,847
  • Tool calls: 23
  • Explored 14 files to find patterns
  • Missed team retry convention

With Lakecode

  • Input tokens: 10,742
  • Tool calls: 6
  • Loaded 2 files from compiled context
  • Applied team retry convention correctly

Makes skills real

Static skill files describe what to do. Lakecode-backed skills know how your team actually does it.

Static skill file

# How to add a new API endpoint
1. Create route in /routes
2. Add validation middleware
3. Write tests
4. Update OpenAPI spec
 
// Generic. No team context.
// Stale after the first refactor.

Lakecode-backed skill

# How to add a new API endpoint
+ route pattern from /routes/users.ts
+ zod validation (team convention)
+ test pattern from auth.test.ts
+ error codes from error-handling memo
 
// Compiled from real code + memory.
// Updates as your codebase evolves.

Terminal-native for engineers. Web-native for team memory.

Two interfaces, one memory layer.

TERMINAL (CLI)

  • Write code with compiled context
  • Debug with memory of past findings
  • Run skills backed by real conventions
  • Capture new memories during sessions
  • Natural language or slash commands

WEB DASHBOARD

  • Browse and search all team memories
  • Edit, tag, and organize decisions
  • Review memory usage and coverage
  • Manage team access and permissions
  • Track which memories drive the most value

Scales into governed engineering memory

For teams that need control, compliance, and integration with existing infrastructure.

  • Governed memory policies

    Control what gets remembered, who can access it, and how long it persists. Approval workflows for team-wide memories.

  • SSO and SCIM provisioning

    Integrate with your identity provider. Automatic user provisioning and de-provisioning.

  • Audit logging

    Full audit trail of memory access, creation, and compilation. Export to your SIEM.

  • Private deployment

    Run Lakecode in your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your environment.

  • Custom model routing

    Bring your own LLM endpoints. Route through your proxy. Use models approved by your security team.

Databricks-native

For Databricks customers, Lakecode integrates directly with your lakehouse. Memory is stored in Unity Catalog. Access follows your existing governance model.

  • → Memory backed by Delta tables
  • → Unity Catalog access controls
  • → Workspace-level isolation
  • → Integrates with MLflow tracking
