Open-source AI memory framework
Build AI wheels that roll forward forever
Never repeat yourself to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot… ever again.
Wheelwright is a hub-and-spoke memory layer that persists project context across any LLM. Drop a WAI-Spoke folder in your project and every assistant starts with the same shared memory—code or not.
What is Wheelwright?
Wheelwright is an open-source system for persistent AI context. A single WAI-Spoke folder carries your architecture, decisions, and working state so any model can pick up where the last one left off.

How it works + why it matters
How it works
Hub + spoke memory
The hub consolidates the shared project memory, while spokes store specialized context for tasks like coding or review.
LLM-agnostic by design
Use ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or your own models. They all read the same wheel and keep it rolling.
Works beyond code
Use it for research, writing, product strategy, design systems, onboarding, or any project where continuity matters.
The pain it solves
Tokens evaporate every session
You pay to re-explain architecture, tech stack, decisions… over and over.
Switching LLMs = blank slate
Claude in the morning, ChatGPT at night—neither remembers what you already built.
Wheelwright fixes it in one file
A single WAI-Spoke/ folder that every AI loads automatically.
Proof in the numbers
Measured across real feature work: fewer tokens, faster delivery, and zero rework.
| Metric | Without WAI | With WAI | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tokens / feature | ≈ 15 k | ≈ 5 k | 67 % |
| Time / feature | 3–4 h | 1 h | 2–3 h |
| Re-work cycles | 2–3 | 0 | 100 % |
Start from a spoke or a hub
Start with a single project, or set up a hub if you plan to run multiple spokes.
Start with a spoke
- Clone the framework:
git clone https://github.com/wheelwright-ai/framework - Make the CLI executable (and optionally add it to your PATH).
- Initialize a spoke in your project with
WAI-CLI init.
Start with a hub
- Clone the framework:
git clone https://github.com/wheelwright-ai/framework - Create your hub:
WAI hub create. - Add spokes from any project with
WAI-CLI init.
