The Problem

Your team's AI agents are learning in silos.

• Dev A's Claude spends 10 minutes understanding your auth system
• Dev B's Claude does the exact same exploration the next day
• Dev C asks a question that was already answered last week
• Every new session starts from zero

The waste: Redundant exploration, duplicate token spend, knowledge that disappears when sessions end.

The Solution

Grov captures what your team's AI learns and shares it automatically.

Dev A: "How does auth work in this codebase?"
        ↓
     Claude investigates, figures it out
        ↓
     Grov captures the reasoning + decisions
        ↓
     Syncs to team dashboard
        ↓
Dev B: "Should we add password salting?"
        ↓
     Claude already knows: "Based on verified team knowledge,
     no - this codebase uses OAuth-only, no passwords stored"
        ↓
     No exploration needed. Instant expert answer.

Measured impact: Tasks drop from 10+ minutes to 1-2 minutes when team context is available.

Quick Start

npm install -g grov   # Install
grov init             # Configure (one-time)
grov proxy            # Start (keep running)

Then use Claude Code normally in another terminal. That's it.

Other Tools

grov setup              # Interactive setup (Cursor, Zed, Codex)
grov init cursor        # Direct setup for Cursor CLI
grov init antigravity   # Direct setup for Antigravity

IDE integrations (Cursor, Zed, Antigravity) use native MCP - no proxy needed.

Important: Your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY must be set permanently in your shell profile, not just with export in a terminal. See Troubleshooting for setup instructions.

For team sync:

grov login                    # Authenticate via GitHub
grov sync --enable --team ID  # Enable sync for your team

Free for individuals and teams up to 3 developers.

What Gets Captured

Real reasoning, not just file lists:

Architectural decisions, patterns, and rationale - automatically extracted and synced to your team.

Every captured memory includes:

• Reasoning trace - The WHY behind decisions (CONCLUSION/INSIGHT pairs)
• Key decisions - What was chosen and why alternatives were rejected
• Files touched - Which parts of the codebase are relevant
• Constraints discovered - What can't break, what must stay compatible

---

What Your Team Gets

When a teammate asks a related question, Claude already knows:

No exploration. No re-investigation. Instant expert answers from team memory.

Claude receives verified context and skips the exploration phase entirely - no "let me investigate" or "I'll need to look at the codebase."

Features

Team Knowledge Sharing

The core value: what one dev's AI learns, everyone's AI knows.

• Automatic capture - Reasoning extracted when tasks complete
• Automatic sync - Memories sync to your team in real-time
• Automatic injection - Relevant context injected into new sessions
• Hybrid search - Semantic (AI understands meaning) + lexical (keyword matching)

Anti-Drift Detection

Grov monitors what Claude does (not what you ask) and corrects when it goes off-track.

• Extracts your intent from the first prompt
• Monitors Claude's actions (file edits, commands, explorations)
• Scores alignment (1-10) using Claude Haiku
• Injects corrections at 4 levels: nudge → correct → intervene → halt
