+# Kiokuko (Memory Store)
 
 English | [日本語](README.ja.md) | [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md) | [한국어](README.ko.md)
 
-Kiokuko(記憶庫) is model-agnostic external memory for AI coding agents. One global npm
-installation stores structured memory in the current user's SQLite database and
-exposes guided task preparation plus recall/checkpoint tools to Codex, OpenCode,
-Claude Code, and Hermes Agent over native stdio MCP.
+**Connect via MCP, recall with RAG, and store memories after each task.**
 
-The name **Kiokuko** comes from the Japanese **記憶庫**: **記憶** means
-"memory," and **庫** means "storehouse," so the name describes a place for
-storing memories.
+Kiokuko is external memory for AI coding agents.
 
-## Install and enable globally
+It stores knowledge gained from past work in local SQLite, then searches for and passes only relevant memories to the AI in the next request.
 
-Node.js 24 or newer is required.
+Users do not need to paste past context into every prompt or search for memories manually. By simply using AI as usual, project-specific knowledge gradually accumulates and can be reused in the next task.
+
+## Get started quickly
+
+Node.js 24.16 or newer is required.
+Get started easily with these two commands 💕
 
 ```bash
 npm install --global @askdkc/kiokuko
 kiokuko setup
 ```
 
-The no-argument command checks `PATH` for each supported client executable
-(`codex`, `opencode`, `claude`, and `hermes`). In an interactive terminal,
-setup displays a checked-choice list with detected clients preselected;
-pressing Enter accepts that selection. You can enter client names or numbers
-separated by commas to change it, or `none` to configure no clients. In
-`--json` and non-TTY runs, setup remains non-interactive and configures only
-detected clients. When `hermes` is detected, Kiokuko asks it for the active
-profile with `hermes config path`; otherwise it uses the valid `active_profile`
-marker or the default `$HOME/.hermes` root. If no supported client is detected
-and no interactive selection is made, setup initializes the database but writes
-no client configuration. Use `--clients` to configure a client explicitly;
-explicit selection always takes precedence.
-
-The npm package name is `@askdkc/kiokuko`; the installed CLI command remains
-`kiokuko`.
-
-Restart the clients reported by setup. Hermes can
-reload the MCP registry with `/reload-mcp`, but a restart or new session is still
-required to discover an updated standard skill; smoke-test the active Hermes
-profile with `hermes mcp test kiokuko`. Codex, OpenCode, and Claude Code use their existing
-instruction surfaces to request Kiokuko before non-trivial work and after durable
-work. Hermes uses its profile-scoped native MCP registration only: Kiokuko does not
-create a global instruction file, Hermes plugin, or Hermes hook.
-
-`setup` is explicit and idempotent. npm `postinstall` never edits AI-client
-configuration. Existing TOML/JSON/JSONC/YAML settings, comments, instruction content, line endings,
-and file modes are preserved; Kiokuko owns only its managed sections. By default,
-setup also installs the bundled `kiokuko-ui-design-soul` skill from a fixed local
-manifest. It performs no setup-time download or HIG scraping.
-
-When an existing database has pending migrations, setup first creates and
-integrity-checks a backup in the adjacent `backups/` directory under the current
-user's data directory. A
-database written by a newer Kiokuko version is rejected without modification.
+`setup` detects supported clients that are installed and automatically configures the SQLite database and MCP connection.
+Interactive setup asks whether audited community Skills may also be used as reference material; the default answer is no.
+Model-facing memory enters a task only through the capability-gated `task_prepare`
+and `task_answer` MCP tools. Kiokuko installs no client hook or plugin that
+silently recalls memory before those calls.
+
+After setup, launch the target AI client and use it as usual. If it is already running, quit it once and restart it.
+
+Supported clients:
+
+- Codex
+- OpenCode
+- Claude Code
+- Hermes Agent
+
+## How it gets smarter with use
+
+```text
+User request
+      ↓
+Search relevant past memories
+      ↓
+AI uses the memories to do the work
+      ↓
+Store reusable results and lessons
+      ↓
+Search again in the next request
+```
 
-```bash
-# Preview exact target files without writing anything
-kiokuko setup --dry-run --json
+Kiokuko repeats the following flow.
 
-# Configure only one client
-kiokuko setup --clients codex
-kiokuko setup --clients opencode
-kiokuko setup --clients claude
-kiokuko setup --clients hermes
+1. Before work, search the current project and Global memory
+2. Pass only highly relevant memories to the AI
+3. The AI performs the work
+4. After the work, store reusable knowledge as memory
+5. Reuse that memory in the next task
 
-# Use an absolute executable path if the client process does not inherit npm's PATH
-kiokuko setup --command /absolute/path/to/kiokuko
+In other words, Kiokuko is a **RAG system that accumulates persistent memory**.
 
-# Skip new standard-skill placement; an existing managed copy is not deleted
-kiokuko setup --no-standard-skills
-```
+MCP connects the AI client to Kiokuko, while RAG searches for the memories needed and passes them to the AI.
 
-Hermes setup is profile-scoped. A named profile such as
-`$HOME/.hermes/profiles/work/config.yaml` receives the MCP config and standard
-skill; the root and inactive profiles are not modified. A temporary
-`hermes -p <name>` selection in another process is not inferred by setup. To
-target a named profile explicitly, pass its profile directory as
-`HERMES_HOME`:
+## Memory is separated by project
 
-```bash
-HERMES_HOME="$HOME/.hermes/profiles/work" kiokuko setup --clients hermes
-```
+Ordinary searches do not mix in memories from unrelated projects.
 
-If a desktop process cannot find `kiokuko` through its `PATH`, migrate the
-managed command to an absolute executable path. Do not pass an empty result
-from `command -v`:
+- **Project memory**
+  Knowledge used only in the current repository
 
-```bash
-KIOKUKO_BIN="$(command -v kiokuko)"
-test -n "$KIOKUKO_BIN" && test -x "$KIOKUKO_BIN" || {
-  echo "kiokuko executable not found" >&2
-  exit 1
-}
-kiokuko setup --clients hermes --command "$KIOKUKO_BIN"
-```
+- **Ecosystem memory**
+  Knowledge kept in its source project and reused only when its language, framework, database, runtime, tool, or other applicability constraints match the current project
+
+- **Global memory**
+  Knowledge explicitly generalized for reuse across projects without depending on one particular project
+
+Matching free-form tags alone does not expose Project memory to other projects. Ecosystem retrieval checks both the memory's structured applicability and the technology fingerprint detected from the current project. Memories containing project-specific paths or identifiers are excluded.
+
+Projects are automatically identified from Git remotes or paths.
 
-The setup targets are:
-
-| Client | MCP config | Global instructions | Runtime guard | Standard skill |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Codex | `$CODEX_HOME/config.toml` or `~/.codex/config.toml` | `$CODEX_HOME/AGENTS.md` or `~/.codex/AGENTS.md` | — | `~/.agents/skills/kiokuko-ui-design-soul` |
-| OpenCode | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opencode/opencode.json` or `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` | the adjacent `AGENTS.md` | `plugins/kiokuko-loop-guard.js` | global config `skills/kiokuko-ui-design-soul` |
-| Claude Code | `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/.claude.json` or `~/.claude.json` | `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CLAUDE.md` or `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` | — | Claude config `skills/kiokuko-ui-design-soul` |
-| Hermes Agent | effective profile `config.yaml` under `$HERMES_HOME`, `$HOME/.hermes`, or `%LOCALAPPDATA%/hermes` | none | none | effective profile `skills/kiokuko-ui-design-soul` |
-
-Hermes is configured as a profile-scoped native stdio MCP server with `command: kiokuko` and `args: [mcp]`. A managed canonical entry can have its `command` migrated with `--command`; `args`, comments, and other servers are preserved. Unmanaged entries, extra fields, and non-`mcp` args remain conflicts. `setup` follows `hermes config path` when available, then a valid sticky `active_profile` when `HERMES_HOME` is a root, and never silently falls back from a missing named profile.
-
-If an OpenCode `opencode.jsonc` already exists, Kiokuko updates that file and
-preserves comments. If Codex already has an unmanaged
-`[mcp_servers.kiokuko]` table, setup refuses to guess which configuration to
-overwrite. The managed OpenCode guard caps visible agents at 12 steps, permits
-`task_prepare` and `memory_checkpoint` only once per user request, closes tool
-use after a checkpoint, and stops repeated calls or read-only discovery results
-after three unchanged iterations. It keeps its counters and fingerprints in
-process memory only.
-
-Each bundled skill file carries a Kiokuko management marker. Setup replaces only
-the fixed known files, reports exact matches as unchanged, and leaves unrelated
-sibling files alone. If a same-name skill file lacks the marker, setup stops with
-`CONFLICT` before any file or database write.
-
-## Memory scope
-
-The database is global to the OS user, but ordinary recall is not a global
-full-database search:
-
-- `project` memory is resolved automatically from `.kiokuko.json`, the known
-  canonical path, or the Git remote. Another project's memory is excluded.
-- `global` memory is reserved for genuinely cross-project preferences and
-  lessons. New global lessons should include applicability (language,
-  framework, runtime, database, tool, or platform) or an explicit portable
-  reason; unscoped global candidates are penalized during task preparation.
-- default `auto` recall returns only the current project plus global memory.
-- a repository without a remote gets a stable path-derived identity. Kiokuko
-  does not write anything into the repository during automatic resolution.
-
-The MCP surface is deliberately small:
-
-- `task_prepare`: once per user request, run the Akinator intake, open a
-  lightweight execution-ledger run, and return one bounded ranked context
-  delivery from the current project plus applicable global memory. The run and
-  delivery IDs are returned for the final checkpoint.
-- `task_answer`: continue an intake only with an answer grounded in the user
-  request or verified repository evidence.
-- `memory_recall`: read bounded project/global context, always marked untrusted.
-- `curator_check`: before the final checkpoint, return only skill-ready
-  candidates by default. A qualified hit is a completed, actionable Akinator
-  path with fresh verification or a passing test; retrieval frequency is never
-  counted.
-- `curator_globalize`: store one revision-checked regenerated draft only after
-  the user explicitly approves the displayed skill name and three-line overview.
-- `memory_checkpoint`: once at the end of a user request, atomically store
-  candidate memory, bounded evidence, context feedback, ledger links, and the
-  terminal run outcome. It also records the Akinator narrowing path for each
-  proposed memory. Secret-like content, absolute paths, raw output, and
-  unbounded evidence are rejected.
-
-Search uses additive hybrid lanes: exact structured signals, word FTS5,
-trigram substring FTS5, bounded literal fallback, and exact tags. Existing
-word-search data remains intact across migrations. Use
-`kiokuko setup --clients opencode --opencode-capture minimal|standard` to opt
-into in-memory OpenCode evidence metadata, and add
-`--opencode-mode strict` only when mutating tools must follow `task_prepare`.
-
-## Curator
-
-`kiokuko curator` finds project candidate memories that look reusable across
-projects. It deterministically removes project identifiers and paths, then
-regenerates a portable draft with purpose, procedure, applicability, and
-verification sections. It prints the skill name, a three-line overview, and
-the full draft before asking for explicit confirmation. Curator separately
-reports qualified hits, independent runs, workspaces, and abstraction-to-action
-silo completeness. Use `--skill-ready-only` for the filtered periodic-prompt
-set, `--json` to inspect candidates without changing memory, `--yes` only for
-an explicit batch confirmation, or `--entry-id <id>` to review one entry:
+To move Project memory to Global memory, review the candidate with Curator and explicitly approve it.
 
 ```bash
 kiokuko curator
-kiokuko curator --json
-kiokuko curator --skill-ready-only
-kiokuko curator --entry-id <entry-id>
 ```
 
-The Web UI has a Curator button that lists curation candidates across all
-project workspaces. Each candidate keeps its source workspace, can be selected
-or skipped in the checklist, and selected candidates are added in one explicit
-user action. The generated draft—not the original project-specific body—is
-stored as the Global entry. The generator is local and deterministic; it does
-not call an external LLM. Globalized entries retain source workspace, source
-revision, and provenance, and remain untrusted candidates until separately
-promoted.
-
-This is instruction-driven automatic use for clients with instruction surfaces,
-not prompt interception. Codex, OpenCode, Claude Code, and Hermes Agent can still
-choose not to call a tool on a particular turn; Hermes automatic/model use is best
-effort from MCP tool descriptions. Hermes's built-in memory and skills
-remain separate. Kiokuko does not capture full transcripts or install fetched skills,
-create a Hermes global instruction file, or silently promote memory to verified
-status. The bounded local loop guard described above is the only plugin installed
-for OpenCode; the bundled standard skill is a native client skill, not a plugin.
-
-## Development
+## Review your memories
+
+The local Web UI lets you search, review, and edit saved memories.
 
 ```bash
-npm install
-npm run typecheck
-npm test
-npm run build
-npm pack --dry-run
+kiokuko web
 ```
 
-## Development usage
+Open the following address in your browser.
 
-```bash
-npm exec -- tsx src/bin/kiokuko.ts setup --dry-run --json
-npm exec -- tsx src/bin/kiokuko.ts mcp
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:4173
 ```
 
-`kiokuko use` remains optional for a portable explicit binding. It creates
-`.kiokuko.json` and a managed block in `AGENTS.md`; normal MCP use no longer
-requires it.
-
-## Akinator-style knowledge intake
-
-For non-trivial work, the installed agent instructions call `task_prepare`.
-The Akinator is an active reasoning guide, not a popularity counter or a fixed
-profile form. It starts with competing action families, uses each question to
-discriminate among or concretize them, and returns an abstraction-to-action silo:
-intent, action family, target, success state, selected action, verification, and
-stop conditions. It asks only for missing high-value fields such as the task
-type, target, and observable success condition, then selects local memory by
-query and role and purpose tags.
-If the client supplies complete capability names with short descriptions, the
-result also identifies matching capabilities and clearly distinguishes
-available, missing, and unknown skills. The catalog is compacted per item,
-ephemeral, and is not stored. The CLI `guide` commands expose the same intake
-for manual use:
-
-For tasks containing concrete UI vocabulary such as UI, UX, frontend, screen,
-SwiftUI, or accessibility, `task_prepare` explicitly recommends
-`kiokuko-ui-design-soul` when it is present in the client catalog. Generic
-`design`, backend-only work, and image-only generation do not trigger it.
+The Web UI runs only in the local environment and is not exposed to external networks.
+The Web UI and explicit memory CLI commands are human/operator management
+surfaces. They are not model task-entry fallbacks for `task_prepare` and
+`task_answer`.
+
+## External Skills
+
+External skill discovery is reference-only and uses `official` mode by default
+during Akinator task preparation. Kiokuko verifies the current GitHub commit,
+stores bounded content as untrusted candidate memory, and never installs or
+executes it. Set `KIOKUKO_SKILL_DISCOVERY=off` to disable automatic discovery;
+`community` remains explicit opt-in. Interactive `kiokuko setup` asks before
+enabling it; batch setup can use `--skill-discovery community`.
+
+Example commands:
 
 ```bash
-kiokuko guide start "Implement the API change and add tests" \
-  --workspace <workspace> --json
-kiokuko guide answer <session-id> --workspace <workspace> \
-  --question-id target --value src/api.ts --json
-kiokuko guide answer <session-id> --workspace <workspace> \
-  --question-id expected --value "All tests pass" --json
-kiokuko guide context <session-id> --workspace <workspace> --json
+kiokuko skills find svelte --official-only --json
+kiokuko skills list
+kiokuko skills disable sveltejs/ai-tools/svelte-code-writer
+kiokuko skills refresh sveltejs/ai-tools/svelte-code-writer
 ```
 
-If local retrieval produces no relevant entries and the client explicitly
-supplies an empty capability catalog, `task_prepare` can fetch the current
-`main` tree
-from the single allowlisted fallback repository:
+The Web UI's External Skills screen can inspect source state and disable or
+re-enable imported mappings. It has no install, script, or MCP registration action.
 
-- https://github.com/mattpocock/skills
+## Security
 
-An omitted, malformed, or non-empty capability catalog means this fallback is
-disabled. Manual CLI use must state the same condition explicitly with
-`guide context ... --no-client-skills`.
-Skills marked `disable-model-invocation: true` are excluded from automatic
-selection.
+Kiokuko does not store full conversations.
 
-Each imported entry records its repository, commit SHA, and source path. It is
-untrusted reference material and is never auto-promoted to `verified` or
-executed as a command. Repeated sync is content-hash idempotent.
+It refuses to store content that looks like a secret, such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or private keys.
 
-## Local web UI
+Saved memories are always treated as reference information. Current code, configuration, and execution results take precedence over past memories.
 
-Start a loopback-only HTTP server to browse memory entries by role and purpose,
-memory type, and cross-cutting tags, and edit candidate entries from the browser:
+External skill discovery is a reference-only feature. Akinator uses `official`
+mode by default; set `KIOKUKO_SKILL_DISCOVERY=off` to disable it or `community`
+to include audited community candidates. External skills are commit-pinned,
+stored as untrusted candidate references, and are never installed or executed
+automatically.
 
-```bash
-kiokuko web
-# open http://127.0.0.1:4173
-```
+## Note
 
-For local development from a source checkout, build the package and start the
-compiled Web UI explicitly:
+Kiokuko is not a prompt interception mechanism. Automatic use depends on MCP calls from each AI client and model, so there is no guarantee that it will be called on every turn.
+
+See the following for more detailed commands.
 
 ```bash
-npm run build
-node dist/bin/kiokuko.js web --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4173
+kiokuko --help
+kiokuko setup --help
 ```
-
-The UI supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. It uses the
-browser language on first use, persists an explicit language selection in the
-browser, and accepts `?lang=en`, `?lang=ja`, `?lang=zh-CN`, or `?lang=ko` as an
-override.
-
-Use `--port 0` to select an available port, or `--json` to print the selected
-URL as JSON. The web UI does not expose the server on non-loopback interfaces.
-Verified and superseded entries are read-only; editing a candidate uses an
-optimistic revision check and preserves the audit trail.
-Tags such as `bot:researcher`, `bot:builder`, and `bot:reviewer` can be used as
-cross-genre filters. Clicking a tag in an entry or in the sidebar shows every
-matching entry regardless of its memory type.
-
-Memory entries are untrusted stored data. Verify current files and runtime
-state before relying on historical entries. Never store passwords, API keys,
-tokens, private keys, or session cookies.
-
-This repository is not published automatically. `npm publish`, commits, and
-pushes require explicit user authorization.
