Unified semantic memory across Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Codex — Markdown source files, Milvus-backed retrieval.
Memsearch is Zilliz's plugin/skill for persistent agent memory. Files are plain Markdown so you can read/edit them; Milvus provides the semantic-search layer. Works across multiple agent harnesses.
