name	jasper-recall
description	Local RAG system for agent memory using ChromaDB and sentence-transformers. v0.3.0 adds multi-agent mesh (N agents sharing memory), OpenClaw plugin with autoRecall, and agent-specific collections. Commands: recall, index-digests, digest-sessions, privacy-check, sync-shared, serve, recall-mesh.

Jasper Recall v0.2.3

Local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system for AI agent memory. Gives your agent the ability to remember and search past conversations.

New in v0.2.2: Shared ChromaDB Collections — separate collections for private, shared, and learnings content. Better isolation for multi-agent setups.

New in v0.2.1: Recall Server — HTTP API for Docker-isolated agents that can't run CLI directly.

New in v0.2.0: Shared Agent Memory — bidirectional learning between main and sandboxed agents with privacy controls.

When to Use

• Memory recall: Search past sessions for context before answering
• Continuous learning: Index daily notes and decisions for future reference
• Session continuity: Remember what happened across restarts
• Knowledge base: Build searchable documentation from your agent's experience

Quick Start

Setup

One command installs everything:

npx jasper-recall setup

This creates:

• Python venv at ~/.openclaw/rag-env
• ChromaDB database at ~/.openclaw/chroma-db
• CLI scripts in ~/.local/bin/

Basic Usage

Search your memory:

recall "what did we decide about the API design"
recall "hopeIDS patterns" --limit 10
recall "meeting notes" --json

Index your files:

index-digests  # Index memory files into ChromaDB

Create session digests:

digest-sessions          # Process new sessions
digest-sessions --dry-run  # Preview what would be processed

How It Works

Three Components

1. digest-sessions — Extracts key info from session logs (topics, tools used)
2. index-digests — Chunks and embeds markdown files into ChromaDB
3. recall — Semantic search across your indexed memory

What Gets Indexed

By default, indexes files from ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/:

• *.md — Daily notes, MEMORY.md
• session-digests/*.md — Session summaries
• repos/*.md — Project documentation
• founder-logs/*.md — Development logs (if present)

Embedding Model

Uses sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2:

• 384-dimensional embeddings
• ~80MB download on first run
• Runs locally, no API needed

Agent Integration

Memory-Augmented Responses

# Before answering questions about past work
results = exec("recall 'project setup decisions' --json")
# Include relevant context in your response

Automated Indexing (Heartbeat)

Add to HEARTBEAT.md:

## Memory Maintenance
- [ ] New session logs? → `digest-sessions`
- [ ] Memory files updated? → `index-digests`

Cron Job

Schedule regular indexing:

{
  "schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 */6 * * *" },
  "payload": {
    "kind": "agentTurn",
    "message": "Run index-digests to update the memory index"
  },
  "sessionTarget": "isolated"
}

Shared Agent Memory (v0.2.0+)

For multi-agent setups where sandboxed agents need access to some memories:

Memory Tagging

Tag entries in daily notes:

## 2026-02-05 [public] - Feature shipped
This is visible to all agents.

## 2026-02-05 [private] - Personal note
This is main agent only (default if untagged).

## 2026-02-05 [learning] - Pattern discovered
Learnings shared bidirectionally between agents.

ChromaDB Collections (v0.2.2+)

Memory is stored in separate collections for isolation:

Collection	Purpose	Who accesses
private_memories	Main agent's private content	Main agent only
shared_memories	[public] tagged content	Sandboxed agents
agent_learnings	Learnings from any agent	All agents
jasper_memory	Legacy unified (backward compat)	Fallback

Collection selection:

# Main agent (default) - searches private_memories
recall "api design"

# Sandboxed agents - searches shared_memories only
recall "product info" --public-only

# Search learnings only
recall "patterns" --learnings

# Search all collections (merged results)
recall "everything" --all

# Specific collection
recall "something" --collection private_memories

# Legacy mode (single collection)
recall "old way" --legacy

Sandboxed Agent Access

# Sandboxed agents use --public-only
recall "product info" --public-only

# Main agent can see everything
recall "product info"

Privacy Workflow

# Check for sensitive data before sharing
privacy-check "text to scan"
privacy-check --file notes.md

# Extract [public] entries to shared directory
sync-shared
sync-shared --dry-run  # Preview first

CLI Reference

recall

recall "query" [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -n, --limit N     Number of results (default: 5)
  --json            Output as JSON
  -v, --verbose     Show similarity scores and collection source
  --public-only     Search shared_memories only (sandboxed agents)
  --learnings       Search agent_learnings only
  --all             Search all collections (merged results)
  --collection X    Search specific collection by name
  --legacy          Use legacy jasper_memory collection

serve (v0.2.1+)

npx jasper-recall serve [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --port, -p N    Port to listen on (default: 3458)
  --host, -h H    Host to bind (default: 127.0.0.1)

Starts HTTP API server for Docker-isolated agents.

Endpoints:
  GET /recall?q=query&limit=5    Search memories
  GET /health                    Health check

Security: public_only=true enforced by default.
Set RECALL_ALLOW_PRIVATE=true to allow private queries.

Example (from Docker container):

curl "http://host.docker.internal:3458/recall?q=product+info"

privacy-check (v0.2.0+)

privacy-check "text"     # Scan inline text
privacy-check --file X   # Scan a file

Detects: emails, API keys, internal IPs, home paths, credentials.
Returns: CLEAN or list of violations.

sync-shared (v0.2.0+)

sync-shared [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --dry-run    Preview without writing
  --all        Process all daily notes

Extracts [public] tagged entries to memory/shared/.

index-digests

index-digests

Indexes markdown files from:
  ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/*.md
  ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/session-digests/*.md
  ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/repos/*.md
  ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/founder-logs/*.md

Skips files that haven't changed (content hash check).

digest-sessions

digest-sessions [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --dry-run    Preview without writing
  --all        Process all sessions (not just new)
  --recent N   Process only N most recent sessions

Configuration

Custom Paths

Set environment variables:

export RECALL_WORKSPACE=~/.openclaw/workspace
export RECALL_CHROMA_DB=~/.openclaw/chroma-db
export RECALL_SESSIONS_DIR=~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions

Chunking

Default settings in index-digests:

• Chunk size: 500 characters
• Overlap: 100 characters

Troubleshooting

"No index found"

index-digests  # Create the index first

"Collection not found"

rm -rf ~/.openclaw/chroma-db  # Clear and rebuild
index-digests

Model download slow First run downloads ~80MB model. Subsequent runs are instant.
