Alternatives to deja-search

deja-search is an agent skill by vshulcz: deja-vu memory — search the user's past AI coding sessions with the deja CLI. If it doesn't fit your setup, these 12 agent skills cover similar ground. They are ordered by how closely they match deja-search and by our rank, which weighs adoption, freshness and documentation; money never changes the order. caveman-compress leads the list (larger repository (114.8K stars); supports Python). 3 of them are published by the company behind the product. Each entry shows data reasons to switch, and you can open a side-by-side comparison with deja-search.
