dory vs awesome-claude
dory: Dory is a local-first memory daemon that gives every AI agent the same brain. It uses Markdown as source of truth and SQLite as a disposable sidecar, providing a narrow API for agents to read and write shared memory. This eliminates the need to re-explain context across different tools like Claude, Codex, opencode, etc.; awesome-claude: HeyClaude is a curated, file-backed, human-reviewed directory for Claude agents, MCP servers, skills, hooks, commands, tools, prompts, rules, guides, templates, and statuslines. It serves as both an awesome-list catalog and a machine-readable registry for builders, with 388+ entries across 10 sections. The registry can be accessed via website, API, MCP server, Raycast extension, RSS feeds, and LLM export.
