Cairn is now Waykeep. Same local-first memory for AI coding agents, new name — chosen so the project has a brand it can actually own.

What changes for you

npm uninstall -g cairn-memory   # first — npm won't hand the `cairn` bin between package names
npm install -g waykeep
waykeep init                    # re-points hook wiring at the new install
  • The CLI is waykeep (the cairn bin still works as an alias).
  • Your data is untouched — everything stays in ~/.cairn, and MCP tool names keep their cairn_ prefix, so hooks, rules files, and muscle memory keep working.
  • Codex asks to trust its hook entries once after switching — that's the install path moving, not new behavior.
  • Marketplace installs: /plugin marketplace add vedtechsolutions/waykeep then /plugin install waykeep@waykeep (Codex: codex plugin add waykeep@waykeep). Old repo URLs redirect.
  • The old cairn-memory package is deprecated but keeps working until you switch.

New in 5.5.0

  • waykeep migrate-project <old-project-id> — renaming or transferring a git repository changes the remote-derived project id and silently orphans that project's memories. This command carries memories, plans, sessions, and telemetry to the current id (--dry-run to preview), and fails closed if the old project is marked private while the new id isn't listed in your scope config.
  • The system-voice neutralizer now strips forged [waykeep …] prefixes from stored memory text alongside [cairn …] ones.
