Tessera
Install Tessera when you need durable codebase memory, graph-guided context, and bundled Superpowers methodology commands in Claude Code.
Overview
Tessera is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that provides SQLite graph memory, MCP routing, decision locking, and Superpowers methodology commands for Claude Code.
What is this marketplace?
- SQLite graph of files, symbols, and dependencies for persistent codebase memory
- Graph-guided file routing to cut redundant reads and token waste
- Architectural decision locking and plan progress tracking across sessions
- Bundled Superpowers development methodology with Plannotator visual plan review
- Slash commands include /build, /codex-review, /mdd, and /diagram
- Marketplace lists 1 plugin (tessera) at version 0.4.1
- MIT-licensed development category bundle from dr-code
- Manifest tags include mcp-server, graph, methodology, tdd, and plan-review
What problem does it solve?
Every new session forgets your repo layout and prior architectural calls, so the agent re-reads everything and drifts from the plan you already agreed on.
Who is it for?
Solo builders on multi-week codebases who want spec-driven memory, plan tracking, and integrated review rituals inside Claude Code.
Skip if: Greenfield one-off scripts where a single chat without memory is enough, or teams that refuse local SQLite graph storage beside the repo.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, Claude Code routes context through a persistent graph, honors locked decisions, and continues plan work via bundled review and build slash commands.
- Initialized SQLite codebase graph with symbols and dependencies
- MCP-backed memory and routing usable across sessions
- Access to /build, /codex-review, /mdd, /diagram and Plannotator review flows

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Build agent-tooling because MCP memory and slash commands are installed as developer agent infrastructure first. SQLite graph routing and /build-style commands are agent extensions, not standalone deploy or SEO tooling.
How it compares
Development methodology plus MCP memory graph, not a hosted test manager like TestDino.
