Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Persist OS is a local-first CLI tool that creates structured, reviewable memory for engineering decisions directly in a repository, validated by a deterministic 'doctor' command. It addresses the problem of AI agents losing context by persisting intent, architecture decisions, and rules as code, with features like superseding old decisions and drift detection. Its innovative combination of decision record management with deterministic health checks and AI agent integration makes it a fresh approach to project memory.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
