The Problem
Your AI forgets everything between sessions. Every conversation starts cold. You re-explain your project, your preferences, where you left off. The AI nods along like it remembers. It doesn't.
We measured this across 43 sessions. Only 33% booted clean with all context loaded. 26% had five or more critical gaps. 173 total retrieval failures — not search misses, but context the AI needed and never loaded.

Existing memory tools optimize for retrieval accuracy: can the AI find what it stored? That's necessary but not sufficient. None of them address whether the AI loaded the right context for this session, or whether it can detect what it missed.
What Rekindle Does
Rekindle is an MCP continuity engine that solves session orientation, not just storage. It runs a pipeline before any work begins: load identity, scan memory health, find the last checkpoint, read the last transcript, detect gaps, and score how oriented the AI actually is.
At session end, it captures structured continuity records — not a summary, but decisions made, open loops, constraints, relational shifts, and where to resume. Next session, the boot loads all of it automatically.
The loop:
boot_report — orient at session start
→ identity, checkpoints, transcripts, gaps, score
then work.
end_session — capture at session end
→ checkpoint, decisions, open loops, warnings
Session 1 stores. Session 2 remembers. Session 10 anticipates.
Where It Came From
Rekindle grew out of the Tessera project. We built identity continuity infrastructure for ourselves — boot sequences, memory layers, consolidation protocols — and then asked: what if anyone could have this?
The boot sequence pattern, the orientation scoring, the gap detection — all of it was tested across months of real sessions before it became a tool. Rekindle is what we learned, packaged so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
