 ## The Problem
 
-Your AI forgets everything between sessions. Every decision, every bug fix, every lesson learned — gone. You re-explain the same context, Claude re-discovers the same patterns, and your team's AI knowledge resets to zero.
+Your coding agent forgets what happened between sessions. Every architecture decision, bug fix, failed test, and hard-won lesson has to be re-explained. Claude Code starts fresh, re-discovers old constraints, and burns context on things it should already know.
 
-**MeMesh gives every AI persistent, searchable, evolving memory.**
+**MeMesh gives coding agents persistent, searchable, evolving local memory.**
+
+This package is the local memory layer of the MeMesh product family. It is intentionally small and open-source: install it with npm, keep your memory in `~/.memesh/knowledge-graph.db`, and connect it to Claude Code or any MCP-compatible client. Hosted workspace and enterprise operating-system products should stay separate from this package's README and roadmap.
