- A single Mastra thread can be shared by multiple users, each with their own name and functional role. You carry speaker identity in the message body so the agent can tell users apart while reading from a single shared thread.

+ A single Mastra thread can be shared by several users. Send each user's message with [`sendMessage()`](https://mastra.ai/docs/signals/sending-signals) and put the speaker in the message's `attributes`. Mastra renders the message as a `<user>` tag carrying those attributes, so the agent can tell the participants apart, now and when the message is loaded from history later.

- A thread belongs to exactly one `resourceId`, so all participants on a shared thread need to pass the same value. Instead of using a user id (the default for single-user apps), key `resourceId` on the conversation itself, for example `doc_${docId}` for a shared document, or `room_${roomId}` for a group chat.

23
- The model needs to know who's talking on every turn. Since the message body is the one place that survives into history and back into context, wrap each user message in a small `<turn>` tag with the speaker's id, name, and role. The tag stays attached to the message, so when prior turns are recalled the model still sees who said what.
24
-
25
- Build the tag with a small helper. The example below is one way to do it, copy it into your project and adapt it to your shape of user data:
23
+ Pass the message as an object with `contents` and `attributes`. Each attribute becomes an XML attribute on the `<user>` tag the model reads:

- Teach the agent how to read the `<turn>` tag in its instructions. The agent must have `memory` configured so it can be called with a `thread` and `resource`:

+ Mastra escapes attribute values for you. Attribute names must be valid XML names, such as `name`, `role` or `user_id`. Any other name fails with `Invalid signal XML attribute name` when the message is rendered for the model.

- - **Short conversations** (a single session, or a thread small enough to fit in `lastMessages`), or when you need a verbatim record of who said what: use [message history alone](#message-history-alone). The user tags in history are enough. No extra memory layer needed.
119
- - **Long-running threads** (conversations that outgrow `lastMessages`, where you need per-user facts to survive history eviction): use [observational memory](#with-observational-memory-recommended).
120
- - **Need a structured participants list, or your storage adapter doesn't support OM** (OM requires LibSQL, PG, or MongoDB): use [working memory](#with-working-memory).

107
  ### Message history alone
125
108
 
126
- For short conversations, or when you need a verbatim record of who said what, the user tags in history are enough. `lastMessages` brings prior turns back into context with their attribution intact:
127
-
128
- ```typescript
129
- import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
130
- import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
131
-
132
- const memory = new Memory({
133
- storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
134
- options: {
135
- lastMessages: 20,
136
- },
137
- })
138
- ```
139
-
140
- The model reads identity from the `<turn>` tag on the current message and from prior tagged messages brought back through `lastMessages`.
141
-
142
- ### With Observational Memory (recommended)
109
+ `lastMessages` brings earlier messages back into context with their `<user>` attributes, so attribution survives across turns. The agent example above uses this setup.
143
110
 
144
- [Observational Memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/observational-memory) (OM) extracts per-user facts into a background log without burning the agent's tool budget. The default Observer model reads `<turn>` tags natively and produces attribution like `Alice stated her favorite color is teal.` and `Bob asked for QA sign-off before publish.`
111
+ ### With Observational Memory
145
112
 
146
- Prefer OM over working memory for multi-user threads when your storage supports it. OM extracts facts automatically, scales to any number of participants, and doesn't need template upkeep. Enable it with no overrides:
113
+ [Observational Memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/observational-memory) (OM) keeps a long shared thread inside the context window by replacing older messages with observations. Enable it on the same `Memory`:
147
114
 
148
115
  ```typescript
149
- import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
150
116
  import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
151
-
152
- const memory = new Memory({
153
- storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
154
- options: {
155
- lastMessages: 20,
156
- observationalMemory: true,
157
- },
158
- })
159
- ```
160
-
161
- OM requires a storage adapter that supports it: `@mastra/libsql`, `@mastra/pg`, `@mastra/mongodb`, `@mastra/mysql`, `@mastra/convex`, or `@mastra/oracledb`.
162
-
163
- > **Note:** If you switch the Observer to a less capable model and see facts attributed to a generic `User` instead of individual participants, use [`observation.instruction`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) to explain how to interpret the `<turn>` tag.
164
-
165
- ### With working memory
166
-
167
- Use working memory when OM isn't an option, for example, when your storage adapter doesn't support OM, or when you need a structured, deterministic participants list the agent can read and write on every turn.
168
-
169
- The default [working memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/working-memory) template assumes one user per thread ("First Name", "Last Name", etc.). For multi-user threads, provide a template with a participants list:
170
-
171
- ```typescript
172
117
  import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
173
- import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
174
118
 
175
119
  const memory = new Memory({
176
120
  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
177

178

- workingMemory: {
180

196
126
 
197
- Set `scope: 'thread'` so the participants list belongs to the document, not to any individual user. Add one instruction telling the agent to append new participants to the list whenever a new `author_id` shows up in a `<turn>`.
127
+ OM replaces `lastMessages` history loading, so leave `lastMessages` out when OM is on.
198
128
 
199
- For more on templates, see [Custom templates](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/working-memory).
129
+ The Observer keeps the speaker's attributes, so observations say who said what. A message sent with `attributes: { name: 'Alice', role: 'editor' }` is labeled `User (name="Alice" role="editor")`. Messages sent without attributes are labeled plain `User`.

- Set the `speaker` from your authenticated request context, never from the request body. If a client can choose its own `author_id`, one user can impersonate another.

+ # Observational Memory
6
+
7
+ **Added in:** `@mastra/memory@1.1.0`
8
+
9
+ Observational Memory (OM) lets an agent work in one thread for as long as the task takes, with a context that stays small, focused and prompt-cache friendly. An **Observer** agent turns older messages into short, dated observations in the background, and a **Reflector** agent condenses those observations when they grow. The agent sees its recent messages in full and everything earlier as observations.
10
+
11
+ Use OM for any agent that does more than a one-off summary or a single workflow step. Every agent that takes multiple steps benefits: chat assistants, coding agents, browser agents, support threads that run for hours.
12
+
13
+ ## Quickstart
14
+
15
+ Install `@mastra/memory` and a [storage adapter](https://mastra.ai/docs/storage). The examples below use `@mastra/libsql`, which stores data locally in a `memory.db` file.
16
+
17
+ **npm**:
18
+
19
+ ```bash
20
+ npm install @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
21
+ ```
22
+
23
+ **pnpm**:
24
+
25
+ ```bash
26
+ pnpm add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ **Yarn**:
30
+
31
+ ```bash
32
+ yarn add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ **Bun**:
36
+
37
+ ```bash
38
+ bun add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ OM needs storage that supports it (`@mastra/libsql`, `@mastra/pg`, `@mastra/mysql`, `@mastra/mongodb`, `@mastra/convex` or `@mastra/oracledb`), a thread for every call, and `observationalMemory: true`. This script stores memory in a local LibSQL file and calls the agent twice on one thread:
42
+
43
+ ```typescript
44
+ import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
45
+ import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
46
+ import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
47
+
48
+ const memory = new Memory({
49
+ storage: new LibSQLStore({
50
+ id: 'memory-storage',
51
+ url: 'file:./memory.db',
52
+ }),
53
+ options: {
54
+ observationalMemory: true,
55
+ },
56
+ })
57
+
58
+ const agent = new Agent({
59
+ id: 'memory-agent',
60
+ name: 'Memory Agent',
61
+ instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
62
+ model: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
63
+ memory,
64
+ })
65
+
66
+ const memoryOptions = {
67
+ resource: 'user-123',
68
+ thread: 'conversation-123',
69
+ }
70
+
71
+ const first = await agent.generate('Remember that my favorite color is blue.', {
72
+ memory: memoryOptions,
73
+ })
74
+ console.log(first.text)
75
+
76
+ const second = await agent.generate('What is my favorite color?', {
77
+ memory: memoryOptions,
78
+ })
79
+ console.log(second.text)
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ `resource` identifies the user or entity and `thread` identifies the conversation. Reuse both to continue the conversation. Nothing is observed in this short exchange. Once the thread's message history passes 30,000 tokens, OM starts replacing older messages with observations.
83
+
84
+ If your Mastra instance already has storage, you can leave `storage` out of `Memory` and it uses that.
85
+
86
+ To watch OM work, open the **Memory** tab of the agent in [Studio](https://mastra.ai/docs/studio/overview). Progress bars show how close messages and observations are to their thresholds, and **Analyze observations** opens the observation log and its history.
87
+
88
+ ## Benefits
89
+
90
+ - **Long tasks stay in one thread**: The agent keeps working past its context limit without compacting and without losing earlier decisions.
91
+ - **Prompt caching**: Observations append to a stable prefix instead of being retrieved each turn, which lets the provider serve most of each request from its prompt cache. See [cost and latency](#cost-and-latency).
92
+ - **Smaller context**: Raw messages and tool results compress into a dense observation log, which lowers the cost and latency of every call.
93
+ - **Less context rot**: The agent reads what matters instead of stale tool output and noise, which keeps it on task over long sessions.
94
+
95
+ Mastra's own agents run on OM. [Mastra Code](https://code.mastra.ai/), a coding agent for the terminal, uses it so a session can run for days without compacting. [Mastra Factory](https://factory.mastra.ai/) runs its planning, implementation and review sessions on Mastra Code. Each agent keeps the context of a long task from start to finish.
96
+
97
+ ## How it works
98
+
99
+ Every time an agent responds, it reads a context window holding its system prompt, recent messages and any injected context. The more raw history it carries, the worse it performs, and most of those tokens are no longer needed to stay on task. OM compresses that history.
100
+
101
+ ### Observations
102
+
103
+ When the thread's unobserved messages pass `observation.messageTokens` (default 30,000), the Observer writes observations: short, dated notes about what happened.
104
+
105
+ ```md
106
+ Date: 2026-01-15
107
+
108
+ - 🔴 12:10 User is building a Next.js app with Supabase auth, due in 1 week (meaning January 22nd 2026)
109
+ - 🔴 12:10 App uses server components with client-side hydration
110
+ - 🟡 12:12 User asked about middleware configuration for protected routes
111
+ - 🔴 12:15 User stated the app name is "Acme Dashboard"
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ The observed messages leave the context window and the observations take their place, typically 5 to 40 times smaller. A browser agent that sees 50,000 tokens per page snapshot ends up carrying a few hundred tokens about what was on the page and what it did.
115
+
116
+ During synchronous observation, the Observer also records a **current task** and a **suggested response**. These help the agent pick up where it left off. With `observation.threadTitle` enabled, it can suggest a new thread title when the topic changes.
117
+
118
+ The Observer sees attachments in the history it reviews. The transcript keeps placeholders such as `[Image #1: reference-board.png]`, and the attachments themselves are forwarded beside the text. See [choosing models](#choosing-models) for Observers that can't read attachments.
119
+
120
+ ### Reflections
121
+
122
+ When observations pass `reflection.observationTokens` (default 40,000), the Reflector rewrites the whole log: it merges related items, condenses older ones more and keeps recent detail. Its output becomes the new log, and new observations append after it. The log stays around the reflection threshold however long the thread runs.
123
+
124
+ The agent's context then has three layers:
125
+
126
+ 1. **Recent messages**: the exact conversation for the current task.
127
+ 2. **Observations**: what the Observer has seen since the last reflection.
128
+ 3. **Reflections**: the condensed log of everything before that.
129
+
130
+ ### How context changes over time
131
+
132
+ With the default settings, the context window grows and shrinks in a cycle:
133
+
134
+ ![Chart of context tokens over the course of a conversation with Observational Memory enabled: message history repeatedly grows toward the 30,000 token observation threshold, then shrinks back to around 6,000 tokens as observations activate, while the observation log steps up with each cycle until it reaches the 40,000 token reflection threshold and the Reflector condenses it into reflections](/img/memory/om-context-over-time-light.svg)
135
+
136
+ 1. **0 to 30,000 tokens**: message history grows. In the background, the Observer prepares observations about every 6,000 tokens (`observation.bufferTokens: 0.2`).
137
+ 2. **30,000 reached**: the prepared observations activate. The observed messages leave the context and about 6,000 tokens of recent messages stay (`observation.bufferActivation: 0.8` keeps 20% of the threshold).
138
+ 3. **Repeat**: history grows back toward 30,000 and shrinks again. Each cycle adds a little to the observation log.
139
+ 4. **Observations reach 40,000**: the Reflector rewrites the log into a smaller one.
140
+
141
+ Thresholds mark when work starts. History can run past 30,000 tokens when background observation falls behind. At `observation.blockAfter` (default `1.2`, or 36,000 tokens) the agent waits for a synchronous observation. See [when buffering falls behind](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory).
142
+
143
+ Token counts are local `tokenx` estimates. The provider's own count is often higher, especially with attachments.
144
+
145
+ ### Context-overflow recovery
146
+
147
+ A provider can reject a request for exceeding its context window before OM's estimate reaches the threshold. When that happens, OM activates any prepared observations, observes everything still pending, and retries the request once with the smaller context. This is on by default; set `observation.observeOnContextOverflow: false` to let the error reach your code instead.
148
+
149
+ ## Choosing models
150
+
151
+ The Observer and Reflector are model calls that run beside your agent. By default both use `model: 'auto'`, which resolves each time a role runs:
152
+
153
+ 1. `google/gemini-2.5-flash` when Google is usable: `GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY` is set, or your `canUseProvider` function returns `true` for `'google'`.
154
+ 2. Otherwise, a low-cost model from the main model's provider, for example `anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` for an Anthropic agent.
155
+ 3. Otherwise, the main model itself.
156
+
157
+ `auto` reads the main model's `provider/model` ID. When that isn't known, such as a model created with a custom URL, API key or gateway, `auto` uses the main model itself, because a sibling model isn't known to share that route.
158
+
159
+ Set `model` to use one model for both roles:
160
+
161
+ ```typescript
162
+ const memory = new Memory({
163
+ options: {
164
+ observationalMemory: {
165
+ model: 'deepseek/deepseek-flash',
166
+ },
167
+ },
168
+ })
169
+ ```
170
+
171
+ Use a model with a large context window (128,000 tokens or more) that's fast enough to run in the background. Mastra has tested `google/gemini-2.5-flash`, `openai/gpt-6-luna`, `anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5` and `deepseek/deepseek-flash`.
172
+
173
+ To use a different model per role, set `observation.model` and `reflection.model` instead, and leave the top-level `model` out. Setting both throws. Some models keep so much detail that their reflections can stay above the threshold; in testing, `google/gemini-2.5-flash` did this. A common split uses a detail-preserving model as the Observer and one that condenses more readily, such as `deepseek/deepseek-flash`, as the Reflector. See [different models per agent](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory).
174
+
175
+ ### Tune automatic selection
176
+
177
+ These `observationalMemory` options adjust what `auto` picks:
178
+
179
+ - `autoModels`: replace the low-cost pick for a provider, for example `{ openai: 'openai/gpt-6-luna' }`.
180
+ - `canUseProvider`: tell `auto` whether the current request can use a provider, when credentials are per tenant or per request rather than in the server's environment. It receives the provider ID and `{ requestContext }`.
181
+ - `resolveModel`: create the picked model yourself, with your own credentials or routing. It receives a concrete model ID, never `'auto'`.
182
+
183
+ ```typescript
184
+ const memory = new Memory({
185
+ options: {
186
+ observationalMemory: {
187
+ autoModels: { openai: 'openai/gpt-6-luna' },
188
+ canUseProvider: (provider, { requestContext }) => hasCredentials(provider, requestContext),
189
+ resolveModel: (modelId, { requestContext }) => createRoutedModel(modelId, requestContext),
190
+ },
191
+ },
192
+ })
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ `resolveAutoModelId(mainModelId, { autoModels })` from `@mastra/memory` returns the model `auto` would pick, for showing the effective model in a settings UI.
196
+
197
+ ### Token-tiered models
198
+
199
+ **Added in:** `@mastra/memory@1.10.0`
200
+
201
+ `ModelByInputTokens` picks a model by the size of each Observer or Reflector call:
202
+
203
+ ```typescript
204
+ import { Memory, ModelByInputTokens } from '@mastra/memory'
205
+
206
+ const memory = new Memory({
207
+ options: {
208
+ observationalMemory: {
209
+ observation: {
210
+ model: new ModelByInputTokens({
211
+ upTo: {
212
+ 5_000: 'openrouter/mistralai/ministral-8b-2512',
213
+ 20_000: 'openrouter/mistralai/mistral-small-2603',
214
+ 40_000: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
215
+ 1_000_000: 'google/gemini-3.8-flash',
216
+ },
217
+ }),
218
+ },
219
+ reflection: {
220
+ model: new ModelByInputTokens({
221
+ upTo: {
222
+ 20_000: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
223
+ 100_000: 'deepseek/deepseek-flash',
224
+ },
225
+ }),
226
+ },
227
+ },
228
+ },
229
+ })
230
+ ```
231
+
232
+ Each tier needs a concrete model ID, not `'auto'`. Each `upTo` key is an inclusive upper bound. A call larger than the biggest key throws, so make the last tier cover the largest input you expect.
233
+
234
+ ### Attachments and text-only Observers
235
+
236
+ By default the Observer receives images and PDFs (`observation.observeAttachments: ['image/*', 'application/pdf']`). Other attachments are left out, and their placeholders stay in the transcript. Change it when your Observer model handles more or less:
237
+
238
+ - `false`: send no attachments. Use this for a text-only Observer.
239
+ - `true`: send every attachment.
240
+ - A list of MIME types such as `['image/*']`: send only matching attachments. Matching is case-insensitive and `*` matches any subtype.
241
+ - `'auto'`: send attachments when the provider registry says the Observer model accepts multimodal input. When it has no data for the model, everything is sent.
242
+
243
+ ```typescript
244
+ const memory = new Memory({
245
+ options: {
246
+ observationalMemory: {
247
+ observation: {
248
+ model: 'deepseek/deepseek-flash',
249
+ observeAttachments: false,
250
+ },
251
+ },
252
+ },
253
+ })
254
+ ```
255
+
256
+ The same filter applies to images and files inside tool results. Attachments the agent recorded as unavailable, because they could no longer be downloaded, are never sent. See [attachment download failures](https://mastra.ai/docs/agents/processors).
257
+
258
+ ## Cost and latency
259
+
260
+ Each observation and reflection is a model call. With the defaults, a thread costs one Observer call for roughly every 6,000 tokens of new messages, and one Reflector call each time the log reaches 40,000 tokens. In return, every main-agent call reads a context of at most a few tens of thousands of tokens instead of the whole thread. The observation prefix changes rarely, so prompt caching keeps working: users generally see 97 to 99% prompt cache hit rates with OM.
261
+
262
+ The Observer runs ahead in the background (async buffering), so the agent doesn't stop to wait for it. These settings control the timing:
263
+
264
+ | Setting | Default | What it controls |
265
+ | ------------------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
266
+ | `observation.bufferTokens` | `0.2` | How often the Observer runs in the background, as a fraction of `messageTokens` (`0.2` is every 6,000 tokens at the default threshold), or an absolute token count such as `5000`. `false` turns buffering off. |
267
+ | `observation.bufferActivation` | `0.8` | How much of the message window clears when observations activate. `0.8` keeps 20% of `messageTokens`. Lower values keep more recent messages. |
268
+ | `observation.blockAfter` | `1.2` | When the agent waits for a synchronous observation because buffering fell behind, as a multiple of `messageTokens` (`1.2` is 36,000 tokens), or an absolute count of 100 or more. `1` observes synchronously at `messageTokens`. |
269
+
270
+ To change when OM observes and reflects, set the thresholds:
271
+
272
+ ```typescript
273
+ const memory = new Memory({
274
+ options: {
275
+ observationalMemory: {
276
+ observation: {
277
+ messageTokens: 30_000,
278
+ },
279
+ reflection: {
280
+ observationTokens: 40_000,
281
+ },
282
+ },
283
+ },
284
+ })
285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ ### Long runs of tool calls
288
+
289
+ Agents that run long chains of tool calls, such as coding and browser agents, re-send the same growing prefix on every step, and the provider serves most of it from the prompt cache. For these agents, raise the observation threshold well above the default, for example to 60,000 to 80,000 tokens, so OM compresses less often and more of each run stays cached:
290
+
291
+ ```typescript
292
+ const memory = new Memory({
293
+ options: {
294
+ observationalMemory: {
295
+ observation: {
296
+ messageTokens: 70_000,
297
+ },
298
+ },
299
+ },
300
+ })
301
+ ```
302
+
303
+ Keep the threshold within the main model's context window. `bufferTokens`, `bufferActivation` and `blockAfter` are fractions of `messageTokens` by default, so they scale with it.
304
+
305
+ ### Activate when the prompt cache expires
306
+
307
+ Once the prompt cache expires, the next request pays full price for the whole context anyway. `activateAfterIdle` makes OM activate its prepared observations when a thread has been idle that long, so the request after a pause sends a smaller, compressed context. It isn't set by default. Set it to `'auto'` to use the active provider's prompt cache TTL (for example 5 minutes for Anthropic, 1 hour for DeepSeek):
308
+
309
+ ```typescript
310
+ const memory = new Memory({
311
+ options: {
312
+ observationalMemory: {
313
+ activateAfterIdle: 'auto',
314
+ },
315
+ },
316
+ })
317
+ ```
318
+
319
+ See [early activation](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) for fixed durations, per-provider values and activating when the provider changes.
320
+
321
+ ### Synchronous observation
322
+
323
+ To observe synchronously instead, set `observation.bufferTokens: false`. That turns off background buffering for both observations and reflections, and the agent pauses while each one runs.
324
+
325
+ `shareTokenBudget: true` lets message history borrow the unused part of the observation budget, so up to about 70,000 tokens of messages stay before observation starts while the log is small. It requires `observation.bufferTokens: false`. See [shared token budget](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory).
326
+
327
+ ## Threads and cross-thread memory
328
+
329
+ ### Thread scope (default)
330
+
331
+ Each thread has its own observations. Every call needs a thread: without one, OM throws `OBSERVATIONAL_MEMORY_THREAD_ID_REQUIRED`, so that unrelated threads never share one observation record.
332
+
333
+ > **Warning:** When a client application calls your agent, send only the new message instead of the full conversation. OM already loads the thread's history from storage. See [message history](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/message-history) for how Mastra handles echoed history and when to use `retainFullInput`.
334
+
335
+ OM remembers within a thread. To let the agent reach a user's other threads, turn on [retrieval mode](#retrieval-mode), which gives it a `recall` tool for the raw messages behind observations and for other threads of the same resource.
336
+
337
+ ### Retrieval mode
338
+
339
+ Observations drop the original wording. With retrieval mode, each observation group stays linked to the messages it came from, and the agent gets a `recall` tool to read them back, including exact wording and tool output.
340
+
341
+ `retrieval: true` lets the agent browse raw messages, list the resource's threads and read other threads. No vector store is needed.
342
+
343
+ `retrieval: { vector: true }` adds semantic search over observation groups, using the vector store and embedder configured on `Memory`. With a vector store that generates embeddings itself, leave the `embedder` out. See [server-side embeddings](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/semantic-recall). New observation groups are indexed in the background as they're created.
344
+
345
+ ```typescript
346
+ const memory = new Memory({
347
+ storage,
348
+ vector: myVectorStore,
349
+ embedder: myEmbedder,
350
+ options: {
351
+ observationalMemory: {
352
+ retrieval: { vector: true },
353
+ },
354
+ },
355
+ })
356
+ ```
357
+
358
+ The recall tool's scope is `'resource'` by default, so it can reach every thread of the resource. Set `retrieval: { scope: 'thread' }` to limit it to the current thread. Use `retrieval.instructions` to add app-specific guidance after the built-in recall instructions, for example "Prefer the current conversation when it already contains the answer."
359
+
360
+ See the [recall tool reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) for its modes, detail levels and pagination.
361
+
362
+ ### Resource scope (deprecated)
363
+
364
+ > **Deprecated:** `scope: 'resource'` is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Mastra logs a warning the first time OM is created with resource scope. Remove the `scope` option to use thread scope, and use [retrieval mode](#retrieval-mode) for cross-thread continuity. [Knowledge](https://mastra.ai/docs/knowledge/overview), now in alpha, gives agents shared information across threads and is planned to replace resource scope.
365
+
366
+ Resource scope shares one observation record across all of a resource's threads. It works much worse than thread scope:
367
+
368
+ - **Prompt caching**: observing any thread changes the context of every other thread, which breaks their cached prefixes.
369
+ - **Agent understanding**: each thread sees observations from every other thread, and the agent may continue work that another thread started.
370
+ - **Performance**: unobserved messages from all threads are processed together, which is slow for users with many threads. Resource scope also turns off async buffering.
371
+
372
+ Switching to thread scope doesn't migrate resource-scoped observations. Each thread uses its own thread-scoped record if it has one, or starts empty, and messages already observed under resource scope aren't observed again.
373
+
374
+ ## Extractors
375
+
376
+ Extractors persist specific values alongside observations. The built-in current task, suggested response and thread title use the same pipeline. This example extracts a small user profile:
377
+
378
+ ```typescript
379
+ import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
380
+ import { Extractor, Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
381
+ import { z } from 'zod'
382
+
383
+ const memory = new Memory({
384
+ options: {
385
+ observationalMemory: {
386
+ observation: {
387
+ extract: [
388
+ new Extractor({
389
+ name: 'User profile',
390
+ instructions: 'Extract stable user profile facts that should be remembered.',
391
+ schema: z.object({
392
+ preferredName: z.string().optional(),
393
+ timezone: z.string().optional(),
394
+ tools: z.array(z.string()).optional(),
395
+ }),
396
+ }),
397
+ ],
398
+ },
399
+ },
400
+ },
401
+ })
402
+
403
+ export const assistant = new Agent({
404
+ id: 'assistant',
405
+ name: 'Assistant',
406
+ instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
407
+ model: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
408
+ memory,
409
+ })
410
+ ```
411
+
412
+ An extractor with a `schema` runs as a follow-up structured-output request. Without a schema it's an inline string extractor, emitted directly in the Observer or Reflector response:
413
+
414
+ ```typescript
415
+ new Extractor({
416
+ name: 'Mood',
417
+ instructions: 'Extract the user mood as a short phrase.',
418
+ })
419
+ ```
420
+
421
+ By default the extractor sees its last value on later runs. Set `includePreviousExtraction: false` to hide it:
422
+
423
+ ```typescript
424
+ new Extractor({
425
+ name: 'Latest blocker',
426
+ instructions: 'Extract any blockers the agent is running into.',
427
+ includePreviousExtraction: false,
428
+ })
429
+ ```
430
+
431
+ `instructions` and `schema` can be functions when they depend on runtime context, such as the memory instance or request context:
432
+
433
+ ```typescript
434
+ new Extractor({
435
+ name: 'Workspace summary',
436
+ instructions: ({ memory }) =>
437
+ memory ? 'Extract workspace facts for this memory instance.' : 'Extract workspace facts.',
438
+ })
439
+ ```
440
+
441
+ Use `onExtracted` to normalize a value before it's persisted:
442
+
443
+ ```typescript
444
+ new Extractor({
445
+ name: 'Project status',
446
+ instructions: 'Extract the current project status.',
447
+ schema: z.string(),
448
+ onExtracted: ({ current }) => current.trim().toLowerCase(),
449
+ })
450
+ ```
451
+
452
+ `onExtracted` also receives `previous` and `sendSignal`, so it can tell the agent when a value changes. The hook runs on every extraction, so compare `previous` with `current` before sending a signal; otherwise each observation sends another one.
453
+
454
+ A failed extractor is reported in OM markers and doesn't drop values from extractors that succeeded. See the [Extractor API](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) for the full shape.
455
+
456
+ ### Read extracted values from a stream
457
+
458
+ Extractor results arrive when OM completes an observation or reflection. Read both completion data parts from the stream:
459
+
460
+ ```typescript
461
+ import { assistant } from './mastra/agents/assistant'
462
+
463
+ const stream = await assistant.stream('Remember that I prefer dark mode.', {
464
+ memory: { resource: 'user-123', thread: 'conversation-123' },
465
+ })
466
+
467

+ `data-om-observation-end` reports a synchronous completion. `data-om-buffering-end` reports finished background work: its extractor values are persisted at once, but the buffered observations stay inactive until activation. `operationType` says whether the work was an observation or a reflection. See [`data-om-observation-end`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) and [`data-om-buffering-end`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/observational-memory) for the payloads.
