AgenticFleet Memory System

A two-tier memory architecture enabling agents to learn, remember, and improve over time.

Quick Start

1. Initialize (first time only):

   uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py init
   

2. Setup Chroma Cloud (after editing config with your API key):

   uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py setup-chroma
   

3. Verify Status:

   uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py status
   

4. Read Core Context (always do this first):

   • .fleet/context/core/project.md - Project architecture
   • .fleet/context/core/human.md - User preferences
   • .fleet/context/core/persona.md - Agent guidelines

5. Search Memory when you need information:

   uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py recall "your query"
   

6. Create Skills after solving problems:

   uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py learn --file .fleet/context/skills/new-skill.md
   

Memory Hierarchy

Core Memory (Always In-Context)

Location: .fleet/context/core/

Block	Purpose
project.md	Architecture, tech stack, conventions
human.md	User preferences, communication style
persona.md	Agent role, tone, guidelines

Topic Blocks (Reference On-Demand)

Location: .fleet/context/blocks/

Category	Blocks
project/	commands, architecture, conventions, gotchas
workflows/	git, review
decisions/	ADR-style decision records

Skills (Procedural Memory)

Location: .fleet/context/skills/

Learned patterns and solutions. Indexed to Chroma for semantic search.

Chroma Cloud (Semantic Search)

Collections: semantic, procedural, episodic

Enables fuzzy search across all indexed content.

Commands

Claude Code Commands

/init              # Initialize memory system
/learn             # Learn a new skill
/recall            # Search memory semantically
/reflect           # Reflect on session, consolidate learnings

CLI Commands

# Initialize system (creates local files)
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py init

# Setup Chroma Cloud collections
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py setup-chroma

# Check connection and collection status
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py status

# Semantic search across all collections
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py recall "query"

# Index skill to Chroma procedural collection
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py learn --file <path>

# Archive session to episodic collection
uv run python .fleet/context/scripts/memory_manager.py reflect

Block Format

All memory blocks use Letta-style frontmatter:

---
label: block-name
description: What this block contains and when to use it.
limit: 5000 # Character limit
scope: core|project|workflows|decisions
updated: 2024-12-29

Workflow

Starting a Session

1. Read core blocks (project, human, persona)
2. Check relevant topic blocks if needed
3. Use /recall to search for relevant skills

During Work

1. Reference blocks as needed
2. Update human.md if you learn user preferences
3. Note patterns worth remembering

Ending a Session

1. Use /reflect to consolidate learnings
2. Create skills for reusable solutions
3. Index new skills with /learn
