Skill memory layer for AI agents that learns from runs and creates reusable Markdown skill files.

How the 6.4 was reached

  1. Quality of output5/10

    Open source with 3.7k stars and Markdown skill files; moderate adoption, no independent output evaluations. github.com

  2. Ease of use7/10

    pip install plus an API key, then create a learning space and attach a session; skills build automatically. acontext.io

  3. Pricing value7/10

    Apache-2.0 code is free, but setup needs an Acontext API key and no hosted pricing is published. github.com

  4. API and integration quality7/10

    Python and TypeScript clients with tools to list and read skills; Markdown export to ZIP for portability. docs.acontext.io

  5. Solves the problem it claims to solve6/10

    Docs describe recording runs as Markdown procedures; 3.7k stars show interest, but no independent proof that learned skills improve later runs. docs.acontext.io
