Question 1

What is Erold?

Accepted Answer

Erold is a context engine for AI coding agents. It gives your AI agent persistent memory that survives across sessions using Smart Strip compression, which delivers 2-3x more context in the same token window. With just 3 MCP tools and passive capture hooks, agents spend time coding instead of bookkeeping.

Question 2

What is Smart Strip compression?

Accepted Answer

Smart Strip is a lossless fact-extraction technique that compresses coding session transcripts by 2-3x. It classifies facts as self-identifying (bare values like file paths, error codes) or context-dependent (values needing minimal disambiguation), then strips all filler. The compressed format survives unlimited re-compression cycles without drift.

Question 3

Is Erold free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The full context engine -- Smart Strip compression, 3 MCP tools, passive hooks, and 158+ coding guidelines -- is free forever. Bring your own AI API key. Paid plans add team shared memory and the RPA privacy anonymization layer.

Question 4

What AI tools does Erold support?

Accepted Answer

Erold works with any MCP-compatible AI tool, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom AI agents. 3 MCP tools, one configuration command, instant persistent memory.

Question 5

Why only 3 MCP tools?

Accepted Answer

More tools means more tokens spent on tool selection and more chances for the agent to pick the wrong one. Erold exposes three focused tools -- get_context, save_memory, and log_work -- while passive hooks handle the rest automatically.

Question 6

What does re-compression resistant mean?

Accepted Answer

When compressed memory is loaded, used, and re-saved, most compression formats lose facts or introduce drift. Smart Strip encoding produces stable output through unlimited compression cycles -- the same facts survive every round without decay or hallucination.

Question 7

What is the RPA privacy layer?

Accepted Answer

The Redaction and Privacy Anonymization layer strips proprietary code, names, and sensitive details before context is sent to external LLMs. Your compressed memory stays useful for the agent while keeping sensitive information local. Available in the Enterprise plan.

Question 8

What integrations does Erold support?

Accepted Answer

Erold works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop via the MCP Server. Any MCP-compatible AI tool can connect to Erold with a single configuration command.
