Hi HN,I’ve been building AI agents and copilots, and kept running into a frustrating problem: they don’t fail loudly, they forget things quietly.Users re-explain preferences, agents contradict earlier responses, and context resets without any clear visibility into why.I built Memograph CLI as a debugging tool to analyze conversation transcripts and show:- what the agent forgot- where continuity broke- contradictions and repeated context- estimated token waste due to re-promptingIt works locally and supports plain text or JSON transcripts.Example:$ memographOutput:Cognitive Drift Score: 41/100Forgotten preferences: 3Token waste: 29%Trust-breaking contradictions: 1The goal isn’t to replace your agent framework, but to give developers visibility into memory failures.Repo: https://github.com/memographAI/Memograph-CLIWould love feedback, especially from people building agents in production.

Could you build this?
Yes Memograph CLI is a diagnostic tool that inspects agent memory/context logs, analyzes token windows, and flags inconsistencies or drop-offs using straightforward CLI scripts.
Discussion
5 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: Not scientifically grounded or theoretically rigorous, Lack of explainability for the Cognitive Drift Score, Unclear what the score actually means or if it's deterministic
Feature requests: Improve explainability of the scoring methodology
