Prerequisites

# Generation workloads + embeddings
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Model Selection

Model	Purpose	Size	Why
openai:gpt-4o-mini	Gate, HyDE, capture, briefing, summarization	OpenAI	Current default generation path across memory workloads
openai:text-embedding-3-small	Vector embeddings	OpenAI	1536d embeddings via model-client

Override policy: generation workloads resolve through scripts/model-client.ts and can be changed via workload-specific env vars.

---

Performance

Mode	Latency	Use Case
FTS + Vectors only	~0.5s	Specific queries with exact keywords
With HyDE	~4s	Vague/conceptual queries (e.g., "that thing about data safety")
Graph-boosted	+~5ms	Adds graph scoring to any search (negligible overhead)
Auto-capture	~3-5s	Per-conversation extraction (post-conversation, not per-turn)

HyDE Trade-off: Adds ~3.5s but dramatically improves recall for vague queries (1 result → 6 results in testing).

---

Quick Start

# Initialize the database
cd /home/workspace/Skills/zo-memory-system
bun scripts/memory.ts init

# Add memory to a persona
bun scripts/add-persona.sh "my-persona" "Role description"

# Store a fact
bun scripts/memory.ts store \
  --entity "user" \
  --key "preference" \
  --value "value" \
  --decay permanent

# Search with semantic understanding + graph boost
bun scripts/memory.ts hybrid "why did we choose the database"

# Manage knowledge graph
bun scripts/graph.ts link --source <id1> --target <id2> --relation "depends_on"
bun scripts/graph.ts knowledge-gaps

# Auto-capture facts from a conversation
bun scripts/auto-capture.ts --input conversation.md --dry-run

---

Commands

Store Facts

bun scripts/memory.ts store \
  --persona shared \
  --entity "user" \
  --key "name" \
  --value "Alice" \
  --decay permanent \
  --category preference

Search Memory

Continuation Recall (facts + episodes + open loops):

bun scripts/memory.ts continuation "where did we leave off on the health dashboard?"
bun scripts/memory.ts open-loops --status open
bun scripts/memory.ts resolve-loop "The dashboard issue is fixed now"

Hybrid Search (semantic + exact + graph boost):

bun scripts/memory.ts hybrid "database decision rationale"
bun scripts/memory.ts hybrid "why did we pick SQLite" --no-hyde  # Skip HyDE for speed

Hybrid search now includes graph-boosted scoring. When facts are linked via fact_links, linked results boost each other. Scoring weights:

Signal	Weight	Notes
RRF (FTS + Vector)	0.60	Primary signal
Graph Boost	0.15	Reward associative proximity
Freshness	0.15	Recency bonus
Confidence	0.10	Trust signal

When no graph links exist for any result, original weights (0.70/0.20/0.10) are preserved.

Fast Exact Search (FTS5 only):

bun scripts/memory.ts search "router password"

Lookup by entity:

bun scripts/memory.ts lookup --entity "user"
bun scripts/memory.ts lookup --entity "user" --key "name"

Maintenance

# View statistics (shows embeddings count, model config)
bun scripts/memory.ts stats

# Check provider health and model availability
bun scripts/memory.ts health

# Backfill embeddings for all facts
bun scripts/memory.ts index

# Prune expired facts and orphaned embeddings
bun scripts/memory.ts prune

# Apply adaptive decay (demotes stale, promotes frequently-accessed)
bun scripts/memory.ts decay

# Consolidate duplicate facts (merge same entity+key entries)
bun scripts/memory.ts consolidate

---

Knowledge Graph (graph.ts)

The graph CLI manages associative links between facts and provides graph analysis tools.

Link Management

# Create a link between two facts
bun scripts/graph.ts link --source <id1> --target <id2> --relation "depends_on" --weight 0.8

# Remove a link
bun scripts/graph.ts unlink --source <id1> --target <id2>
bun scripts/graph.ts unlink --source <id1> --target <id2> --relation "depends_on"

# Show all links for an entity or fact
bun scripts/graph.ts show --entity "project.ffb-site"
bun scripts/graph.ts show --id <fact-id>

Find Connections (BFS Path Finding)

Find the shortest path between two entities through the knowledge graph:

bun scripts/graph.ts find-connections --from "project.ffb-site" --to "system.zo"
bun scripts/graph.ts find-connections --from "user" --to "decision.hosting" --max-depth 3

Output:

Path found (2 hops):

  [project.ffb-site.name] "FFB website redesign project"
    -->depends_on
  [decision.hosting] "Decided to use Zo hosting"
    -->related
  [system.zo.infrastructure] "Zo Computer infrastructure setup"

Knowledge Gaps Analysis

Scan all facts for maintenance opportunities:

bun scripts/graph.ts knowledge-gaps

Output:

Knowledge Gap Analysis
======================
Total facts: 73
Linked facts: 14 (19.2%)
Orphan facts: 59 (80.8%)

Dead ends (targets only, never source):
  - [decision.hosting] "Decided to use Zo hosting" (2 inbound, 0 outbound)

Weakly linked (only 1 connection):
  - [project.ffb-api] "FFB API integration" (1 link)

Connected components: 3
  Cluster 1 (8 facts): hub = [project.ffb-site] (5 links)
  Cluster 2 (4 facts): hub = [system.zo-infrastructure] (3 links)
  Cluster 3 (2 facts): hub = [decision.memory-cli] (1 link)

Suggested: 12 orphan facts share entities with linked facts and could be connected.

---

Auto-Capture (auto-capture.ts)

Extract structured facts from conversation transcripts automatically.

How it works

1. Transcript is sent through model-client for structured extraction (default openai:gpt-4o-mini)
2. Each candidate fact is quality-filtered (confidence >= 0.6, value >= 10 chars)
3. Dedup check against existing facts (hash-based exact match)
4. Contradiction detection: same entity+key with different value creates a supersedes link
5. Passing facts are stored with embeddings and auto-linked as co-captured

Usage

# Preview extraction (dry-run, no storage)
bun scripts/auto-capture.ts --input conversation.md --dry-run

# Extract and store
bun scripts/auto-capture.ts --input conversation.md --source "chat:2026-03-04"

# Pipe from swarm output
cat swarm-output.md | bun scripts/auto-capture.ts --source "swarm:ffb"

# View capture history
bun scripts/auto-capture.ts stats

Options

Flag	Description	Default
--input <file>	Transcript file path	stdin
--source <label>	Source label for audit trail	"cli"
--persona <name>	Persona to store facts under	"shared"
--dry-run	Show extraction without storing	false
--model <name>	Override extraction model	openai:gpt-4o-mini

Quality Safeguards

• Confidence threshold: Facts below 0.6 confidence are discarded
• Value length minimum: Facts with values shorter than 10 chars are discarded
• Max 20 facts per capture (prevents runaway extraction from long transcripts)
• Transcript hash prevents re-processing the same content
• Dry-run mode for testing extraction quality before committing
• Source tagging for audit trail (source: "auto-capture:{label}")

Contradiction Handling

When auto-capture finds an existing fact with the same entity+key but a different value:

1. New fact is stored normally
2. A supersedes link is created: new_fact → old_fact
3. Old fact's confidence is halved (soft deprecation, not deletion)

Co-Capture Linking

Facts extracted from the same conversation are automatically linked with relation: "co-captured" and weight: 0.5. This seeds the knowledge graph with organic connections.

---

Conversation Capture (conversation-capture.ts)

Extends memory capture beyond swarm tasks to all conversations. Scans workspace artifact directories (/home/.z/workspaces/con_*/) for reports, analysis outputs, and tool results, then runs them through the auto-capture extraction pipeline.

# List all capturable artifacts
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts --list

# Process last 24h (safe default)
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts

# Only last 24 hours
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts --since 24h

# Explicit full backlog sweep
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts --all

# Preview without storing
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts --dry-run

# Show capture statistics
bun scripts/conversation-capture.ts --stats

Options

Flag	Description	Default
--since <duration>	Filter by recency: 1h, 24h, 7d, 30d, 1w, 1m	24h
--all	Process all uncaptured artifacts across all conversations	false
--dry-run	Show extraction without storing	false
--list	List capturable files with status	—
--stats	Show conversation capture statistics	—

Filters

• Skips files < 200 bytes or > 500 KB
• Skips read_webpage/, browser_agent/, node_modules/, venv/ directories
• Only processes .md, .txt, .json files
• Hash-based dedup via capture_log table (never re-processes same content)
• Creates episodes for each capture session
• Bare invocation is intentionally bounded to the last 24 hours; use --all only for an explicit backlog sweep

Scheduled Agent

A daily agent runs at 04:00 AM Phoenix time, executing conversation-capture for the last 24 hours and emailing a maintenance report with fact counts, DB stats, and any errors.

---

Episodic Memory (v3.1)

Episodic memory captures "what happened" as events with outcomes — complementing facts (what is true) with episodes (what occurred).

Database Migration

Before using episodic memory, run the migration to add the new tables:

bun scripts/memory.ts migrate

This is idempotent (safe to run multiple times) and preserves all existing data.

Querying Episodes

# List all episodes
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes

# Filter by time
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --since "7 days ago"
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --since "2026-03-01" --until "2026-03-07"
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --since "last week"

# Filter by outcome
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --outcome failure
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --outcome success --since "30 days ago"

# Filter by entity
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --entity "executor.claude-code"
bun scripts/memory.ts episodes --entity "project.ffb-site" --since "7 days ago"

Velocity Trends

Track success/failure rates over time for any entity:

# Weekly trends (default)
bun scripts/memory.ts trends --entity "executor.claude-code"

# Daily granularity
bun scripts/memory.ts trends --entity "project.ffb-site" --granularity day

# Monthly, last 6 months
bun scripts/memory.ts trends --entity "swarm.ffb" --granularity month --since "180 days ago"

Output:

Velocity trends for "executor.claude-code" (by week):

  Period        Total  OK  Fail  Rate
  ─────────────────────────────────────
  2026-W06          1   1     0  100%
  2026-W09          1   0     0  0%

Time Formats

The temporal query system accepts:

• Relative: "7 days ago", "30 minutes ago", "2 weeks ago", "3 months ago"
• Named: "today", "yesterday", "last week", "last month", "last year"
• ISO dates: "2026-03-01"
• Unix timestamps: raw seconds

Auto-Capture Episode Hook

When auto-capture stores facts from a conversation, it automatically creates an episode recording the capture event. This means every auto-capture run becomes a queryable event in your episodic timeline.

---

Procedural Memory (v3.2)

Procedural memory captures reusable workflow patterns as versioned step sequences. Procedures track success/failure rates and can self-evolve using the configured generation model when failures accumulate.

Managing Procedures

# List all procedures (shows latest version per name)
bun scripts/memory.ts procedures --list

# Show steps for a specific procedure
bun scripts/memory.ts procedures --show "site-review"

# Record feedback after running a procedure
bun scripts/memory.ts procedures --feedback <procedure-id> --success
bun scripts/memory.ts procedures --feedback <procedure-id> --failure

# Force model-routed evolution based on failure episodes
bun scripts/memory.ts procedures --evolve "site-review"

Procedure Evolution

When a procedure accumulates failures, --evolve uses the configured generation model (default openai:gpt-4o-mini) to analyze linked failure episodes and suggest improved steps. The evolved procedure:

• Gets a new version number (v1 -> v2)
• Links to its parent via evolved_from
• Starts with fresh success/failure counts
• May adjust timeouts, add fallback executors, or reorder steps

Cognitive Profiles

Executor history (~/.swarm/executor-history.json) is extended with cognitive fields:

• recent_episode_ids — Last 10 episode IDs for "why did this happen?" queries
• failure_patterns — Auto-classified error types (timeout, mutation_failed, file_not_found, permission_denied)
• entity_affinities — Per-entity success rates as exponential moving averages

These fields are backward compatible — old history files parse correctly without them.

Orchestrator Integration (v4.5)

The swarm orchestrator (orchestrate-v4.ts) now:

1. Creates episodes — Every swarm run auto-creates an episode with outcome, duration, executor list, and task tags
2. 6-signal composite routing — Adds procedureScore (from procedure success rates) and temporalScore (from recent episodic performance) to the existing 4-signal composite router
3. Cognitive data on outcomes — Success/failure calls pass error types and entity affinities to executor history

Memory Gate (Always-On Context Injection)

The memory gate (scripts/memory-gate.ts) uses the configured gate model to classify incoming messages and decide whether memory context should be injected. It now prioritizes likely continuation-style turns first, using blended continuation recall before falling back to the standard memory search path.

How it works

1. User sends a message
2. Continuation detector checks for likely follow-on work
3. If continuation-like: blended recall searches facts + episodes + open loops from the last 14 days
4. Otherwise the gate model (default openai:gpt-4o-mini) classifies whether stored memory is needed
5. If no: message passes through with zero overhead
6. If yes: gate extracts keywords, runs hybrid search, injects results as context

Usage

# Direct invocation
bun scripts/memory-gate.ts "what did we decide about FFB pricing?"
# Exit 0 + results printed

bun scripts/memory-gate.ts "hello"
# Exit 2 (no memory needed, no output)

bun scripts/memory-gate.ts "update the supplier scorecard"
# Exit 0 + results printed (or exit 3 if no results found)

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	Memory results found and printed
1	Error (provider unreachable, parse failure)
2	No memory needed (greeting, general knowledge, self-contained request)
3	Memory needed but no results found

Zo rule integration

Create an always-applied Zo rule that runs the gate on every message:

Run: bun /home/workspace/Skills/zo-memory-system/scripts/memory-gate.ts "<message>"
- Exit 0: inject stdout as background context
- Exit 2: skip (no memory needed)
- Exit 3: skip (no results)

Configuration

export ZO_GATE_MODEL="openai:gpt-4o-mini"  # Default gate model

The gate routes through model-client.ts, so it inherits the OpenAI defaults and per-workload overrides.

Performance in multi-agent swarms

The gate is what makes this memory system viable for swarm workflows. Without gating, always-on injection consumes 34-120% of an 8K context budget across 11 tasks. With gating, only ~4 of 11 tasks get memory injection, keeping consumption at 2.5-6.9%.

Metric	With gate	Without gate (always-on)
Tasks injected	~4 of 11	All 11
Memory tokens per swarm run	800-2,200	12,100-38,500
% of 8K context budget	2.5-6.9%	34-120%
