+# Message history
+
+Message history is the most basic and important form of memory. It gives the LLM a view of recent messages in the context window, enabling your agent to reference earlier exchanges and respond coherently.
+
+You can also retrieve message history to display past conversations in your UI.
+
+> **Note:** Each message belongs to a thread (the conversation) and a resource (the user or entity it's associated with). See [Threads and resources](#threads-and-resources) for more detail.
+
+## Threads and resources
+
+Mastra organizes conversations using two identifiers:
+
+- **Thread**: A conversation session containing a sequence of messages.
+- **Resource**: The entity that owns the thread, such as a user, organization, project, or another domain entity in your application.
+
+Studio automatically generates a thread and resource ID for you. When calling `stream()` or `generate()` yourself, provide these identifiers explicitly.
+
+## Getting started
+
+Install the Mastra memory module along with a [storage adapter](https://mastra.ai/docs/storage) for your database. The examples below use `@mastra/libsql`, which stores data locally in a `mastra.db` file.
+
+**npm**:
+
+```bash
+npm install @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
+```
+
+**pnpm**:
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
+```
+
+**Yarn**:
+
+```bash
+yarn add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
+```
+
+**Bun**:
+
+```bash
+bun add @mastra/memory@latest @mastra/libsql@latest
+```
+
+Message history requires a storage adapter to persist conversations. Configure storage on your Mastra instance if you haven't already:
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+export const mastra = new Mastra({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({
+    id: 'mastra-storage',
+    url: 'file:./mastra.db',
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+Instantiate a [`Memory`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/memory-class) instance in your agent:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  id: 'test-agent',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      lastMessages: 10,
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+When you call the agent, messages are automatically saved to the database. You can specify a `threadId`, `resourceId`, and optional `metadata`:
+
+**.generate()**:
+
+```typescript
+await agent.generate('Hello', {
+  memory: {
+    thread: {
+      id: 'thread-123',
+      title: 'Support conversation',
+      metadata: { category: 'billing' },
+    },
+    resource: 'user-456',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+**.stream()**:
+
+```typescript
+await agent.stream('Hello', {
+  memory: {
+    thread: {
+      id: 'thread-123',
+      title: 'Support conversation',
+      metadata: { category: 'billing' },
+    },
+    resource: 'user-456',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+> **Note:** Threads and messages are created automatically when you call `agent.generate()` or `agent.stream()`, but you can also create them manually with [`createThread()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/createThread) and [`saveMessages()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/memory-class).
+
+You can use this history in two ways:
+
+- **Automatic inclusion**: Mastra automatically includes recent messages in the context window. The default of 10 messages keeps agents grounded in the conversation. Adjust it with `lastMessages` when needed.
+- [**Manual querying**](#querying): For more control, query threads and messages directly with `recall()`. Use the results to choose which memories enter the context window or to render conversation history in your UI.
+
+> **Note:** `lastMessages` counts every stored message, including tool calls, tool results, and [signals](https://mastra.ai/docs/signals/sending-signals) of any kind, so a single turn can add several messages to the count. The window also slides forward on every request: once a thread grows past the limit, the oldest message leaves context on each turn, which changes the start of the prompt and invalidates the provider prompt cache. For long-running conversations, use [Observational Memory](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/observational-memory), which keeps the prompt prefix stable.
+
+### Sending messages from a client
+
+When you use memory with a client application, send **only the new message** instead of the full conversation history. Mastra loads previous messages from storage.
+
+For an AI SDK example, see [Using Mastra Memory](https://mastra.ai/integrations/agentic-ui/ai-sdk-ui).
+
+<details>
+**Passing a full input history**
+
+Mastra filters client-echoed history before loading stored messages. When message IDs match, it uses the stored copy as the base, preserving stored timestamps and provider metadata while retaining new tool results.
+
+If you assemble the request input yourself and need it processed exactly as sent, set `retainFullInput: true` on `memory.options` for that call, or in the memory constructor options to apply it agent-wide. This disables input filtering, but stored history still loads. Every input message that isn't already stored is saved to the thread, including few-shot examples.
+
+</details>
+
+### Limit history by tokens
+
+Message count is a poor proxy for context size: a tool result can be a few tokens or thousands. Use `messageHistory` to keep recent history within a token budget instead:
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  id: 'test-agent',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      messageHistory: { maxTokens: 8_000, atMaxRemoveTokens: 2_000 },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+Mastra counts the complete prompt against `maxTokens`, including remembered history, system instructions, context, and the current turn. When the prompt exceeds the budget, Mastra removes the oldest remembered messages until the prompt is at most `maxTokens - atMaxRemoveTokens`. `atMaxRemoveTokens` defaults to 25% of `maxTokens`. Removing history in chunks keeps the prompt prefix stable across several turns, which helps provider prompt caches stay warm.
+
+System messages, context, the current turn's input, and the agent's responses are never trimmed. Linked tool calls and results are removed together. If protected content alone exceeds `maxTokens`, Mastra removes all remembered history but keeps the protected content.
+
+Trimmed messages stay in storage. During agent runs, Mastra persists a per-thread boundary so they're excluded from later turns. Setting `messageHistory` without `lastMessages` disables the default 10-message cap. Set both to combine a count cap with a token budget. Set `maxTokens` to `0` to disable message history.
+
+> **Tip:** When memory is enabled, [Studio](https://mastra.ai/docs/studio/overview) uses message history to display past conversations in the chat sidebar.
+
+## Thread title generation
+
+Mastra can automatically generate descriptive thread titles from the conversation transcript when `generateTitle` is enabled. Use this option when you build a chat interface that renders conversation titles in a thread list or sidebar.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+
+export const supportAgent = new Agent({
+  id: 'support-agent',
+  name: 'Support agent',
+  instructions: 'Answer customer support questions.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-6.1-sol',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      generateTitle: true,
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+Title generation runs asynchronously after the agent responds and doesn't affect response time.
+
+### Streaming the generated title
+
+By default title generation runs in the background and the run's stream doesn't wait for it, so HTTP clients only see the title on their next thread fetch. Set `emitEvent: true` to deliver the title on the run's stream instead: the stream waits for the title and emits a transient `data-thread-title` chunk before `finish`.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+
+export const supportAgent = new Agent({
+  id: 'support-agent',
+  name: 'Support agent',
+  instructions: 'Answer customer support questions.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-6.1-sol',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      generateTitle: {
+        emitEvent: true,
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+Stream consumers receive the chunk with the persisted title, so a chat UI can rename its thread list entry without polling:
+
+```typescript
+for await (const chunk of stream.fullStream) {
+  if (chunk.type === 'data-thread-title') {
+    renameThreadInSidebar(chunk.data.threadId, chunk.data.title)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The chunk is transient: it's delivered to stream consumers but never persisted as part of the conversation's messages. Because the stream waits for the title, `emitEvent` delays the stream's `finish` on the turn that generates the title: the first turn of a thread, or a later turn when `minMessages` sets a higher threshold. Leave it off to keep title generation fully non-blocking.
+
+> **Note:** `emitEvent` applies to `stream()` runs. `generate()` returns JSON and can't carry the chunk, so it keeps non-blocking title generation. [Durable and evented agents](https://mastra.ai/docs/harness/durable-agents) don't emit this chunk yet. In all of these cases the title is still generated and persisted.
+
+To optimize cost or behavior, provide a smaller [`model`](https://mastra.ai/models) and custom `instructions`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+
+export const supportAgent = new Agent({
+  id: 'support-agent',
+  name: 'Support agent',
+  instructions: 'Answer customer support questions.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-6.1-sol',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      generateTitle: {
+        model: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
+        instructions: 'Generate a one-word title.',
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+## Accessing memory
+
+To access memory functions for querying, cloning, or deleting threads and messages, call `getMemory()` on an agent:
+
+```typescript
+const agent = mastra.getAgentById('test-agent')
+const memory = await agent.getMemory()
+```
+
+Use the `Memory` instance to query stored threads and messages or clone a conversation.
+
+## Querying
+
+Use these methods to fetch threads and messages for displaying conversation history in your UI or for custom memory retrieval logic.
+
+> **Warning:** The memory system doesn't enforce access control. Before running any query, verify in your application logic that the current user is authorized to access the `resourceId` being queried.
+
+### Threads
+
+Use [`listThreads()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/listThreads) to retrieve threads for a resource:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await memory.listThreads({
+  filter: { resourceId: 'user-123' },
+  perPage: false,
+})
+```
+
+Paginate through threads:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await memory.listThreads({
+  filter: { resourceId: 'user-123' },
+  page: 0,
+  perPage: 10,
+})
+
+console.log(result.threads) // thread objects
+console.log(result.hasMore) // more pages available?
+```
+
+You can also filter by metadata and control sort order:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await memory.listThreads({
+  filter: {
+    resourceId: 'user-123',
+    metadata: { status: 'active' },
+  },
+  orderBy: { field: 'createdAt', direction: 'DESC' },
+})
+```
+
+To fetch a single thread by ID, use [`getThreadById()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/getThreadById):
+
+```typescript
+const thread = await memory.getThreadById({ threadId: 'thread-123' })
+```
+
+### Messages
+
+Once you have a thread, use [`recall()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/recall) to retrieve its messages. It supports pagination and [semantic search](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/semantic-recall), with optional date filtering.
+
+Fetch a thread's history without pagination. Recall hides reminder signals by default; pass `hideSignals: false` to include them, `true` to hide all recognized signals, or an array to omit selected types. See [signal visibility and compatibility](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/recall) for matching rules and precedence.
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  perPage: false,
+})
+```
+
+Paginate through messages:
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  page: 0,
+  perPage: 50,
+})
+```
+
+Filter by date range:
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  filter: {
+    dateRange: {
+      start: new Date('2025-01-01'),
+      end: new Date('2025-06-01'),
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Filter by shallow message metadata:
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  filter: {
+    metadata: {
+      category: 'billing',
+      escalated: true,
+      priority: 2,
+      archivedAt: null,
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Metadata filters match shallow scalar values only: `string`, finite `number`, `boolean`, and `null`.
+
+All specified metadata keys use AND semantics. A `null` filter matches only an explicit `null` value. A missing metadata key doesn't match.
+
+Metadata keys must start with a letter or underscore and contain only alphanumeric characters. They must be 128 characters or fewer and can't use reserved prototype keys such as `__proto__`, `constructor`, or `prototype`.
+
+Performance depends on the storage backend. Some backends can push parts of the filter into the database, while others scan candidate messages after thread, resource, and date constraints are applied but before pagination.
+
+Fetch a single message by ID:
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  include: [{ id: 'msg-123' }],
+})
+```
+
+Fetch multiple messages by ID with surrounding context:
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  include: [
+    { id: 'msg-123' },
+    {
+      id: 'msg-456',
+      withPreviousMessages: 3,
+      withNextMessages: 1,
+    },
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+Search by meaning (see [Semantic recall](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/semantic-recall) for setup):
+
+```typescript
+const { messages } = await memory.recall({
+  threadId: 'thread-123',
+  vectorSearchString: 'project deadline discussion',
+  threadConfig: {
+    semanticRecall: true,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### UI format
+
+Message queries return `MastraDBMessage[]` format. To display messages in a frontend, you may need to convert them to a format your UI library expects. For example, [`toAISdkV5Messages`](https://mastra.ai/reference/ai-sdk/to-ai-sdk-v5-messages) converts messages to AI SDK UI format.
+
+## Thread cloning
+
+Thread cloning creates a copy of an existing thread with its messages. This is useful for branching conversations or creating checkpoints before a potentially destructive operation, or alternatively testing variations of a conversation.
+
+```typescript
+const { thread, clonedMessages } = await memory.cloneThread({
+  sourceThreadId: 'thread-123',
+  title: 'Branched conversation',
+})
+```
+
+You can filter cloned messages by count or date range and specify custom thread IDs. Utility methods are also available to inspect clone relationships.
+
+If you don't need the copied messages returned, for example when forking a long thread, use `copyThread()`. It never returns message payloads, and on LibSQL and PostgreSQL the rows are copied inside the database. When semantic recall is enabled, the copied messages are still read back in batches to generate embeddings.
+
+See [`cloneThread()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/cloneThread), [`copyThread()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/copyThread), and [clone utilities](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/clone-utilities) for the full API.
+
+## Deleting messages
+
+To remove messages from a thread, use [`deleteMessages()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/memory/deleteMessages). You can delete by message ID or clear all messages from a thread.

+
+# Multi-user threads
+
+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.
+
+## When to use multi-user threads
+
+Use multi-user threads when several people collaborate on the same subject through one agent:
+
+- Collaborative documents with editors, reviewers, and approvers
+- Group chats where one assistant serves many participants
+- Multi-stakeholder reviews where different roles have different authority
+
+## Share one `resourceId` across all participants
+
+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. With everyone pointing at the same `resourceId`, they read and write the same history.
+
+## Tag each user message with the speaker's identity
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+```typescript
+export type Speaker = {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  role: string
+}
+
+function escapeAttr(value: string) {
+  return value
+    .replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
+    .replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
+    .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
+    .replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
+}
+
+export function asUserTurn(speaker: Speaker, text: string) {
+  const id = escapeAttr(speaker.id)
+  const name = escapeAttr(speaker.name)
+  const role = escapeAttr(speaker.role)
+  return {
+    role: 'user' as const,
+    content: `<turn author_id="${id}" author_name="${name}" functional_role="${role}">
+${text}
+</turn>`,
+  }
+}
+```
+
+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`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+const memory = new Memory({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
+  options: {
+    lastMessages: 20,
+  },
+})
+
+export const collabAgent = new Agent({
+  id: 'collab',
+  name: 'CollabAgent',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-6-luna',
+  memory,
+  instructions: `
+You are a collaborative document assistant. Multiple users talk to you in the SAME thread.
+
+Every user message is wrapped in a <turn> tag carrying the user's identity:
+
+  <turn author_id="u_alice" author_name="Alice" functional_role="editor">
+  ...message text...
+  </turn>
+
+Rules:
+1. Address users by their author_name.
+2. Respect functional_role: editors propose changes, reviewers approve.
+3. When attributing past statements, read author_name from the surrounding <turn> tag.
+4. Do not echo the <turn> tags back at users.
+  `.trim(),
+})
+```
+
+Call the agent with the wrapped message. Every participant shares the same `thread` and `resource`:
+
+```typescript
+import { asUserTurn } from './identity'
+
+const docResourceId = 'doc_42'
+const docThreadId = 'doc_42'
+
+const alice = { id: 'u_alice', name: 'Alice', role: 'editor' }
+const bob = { id: 'u_bob', name: 'Bob', role: 'reviewer' }
+
+await collabAgent.generate([asUserTurn(alice, 'My favorite color is teal.')], {
+  memory: { thread: docThreadId, resource: docResourceId },
+})
+
+await collabAgent.generate([asUserTurn(bob, 'I want QA sign-off before publish.')], {
+  memory: { thread: docThreadId, resource: docResourceId },
+})
+```
+
+The `<turn>` tag persists in the message body, so when history is recalled on later turns the model still sees who said what.
+
+## Combining with memory layers
+
+The user-tagging pattern composes with every memory layer. Pick the layer based on how long the conversation needs to remember per-user facts:
+
+- **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.
+- **Long-running threads** (conversations that outgrow `lastMessages`, where you need per-user facts to survive history eviction): use [observational memory](#with-observational-memory-recommended).
+- **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).
+
+We recommend using either observational memory or working memory because they cover overlapping needs. Running both adds latency and token cost without much benefit.
+
+### Message history alone
+
+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:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+const memory = new Memory({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
+  options: {
+    lastMessages: 20,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+The model reads identity from the `<turn>` tag on the current message and from prior tagged messages brought back through `lastMessages`.
+
+### With Observational Memory (recommended)
+
+[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.`
+
+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:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+const memory = new Memory({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
+  options: {
+    lastMessages: 20,
+    observationalMemory: true,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+OM requires a storage adapter that supports it: `@mastra/libsql`, `@mastra/pg`, `@mastra/mongodb`, `@mastra/mysql`, `@mastra/convex`, or `@mastra/oracledb`.
+
+> **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.
+
+### With working memory
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+const memory = new Memory({
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({ id: 'collab-storage', url: 'file:./collab.db' }),
+  options: {
+    lastMessages: 20,
+    workingMemory: {
+      enabled: true,
+      scope: 'thread',
+      template: `# Document Collaboration State
+
+## Participants
+<!-- One entry per known collaborator. Use author_id as the stable key. -->
+<!-- - **<author_name>** (<author_id>, <functional_role>): <their position> -->
+
+## Open Questions
+
+## Decisions
+`,
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+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>`.
+
+For more on templates, see [Custom templates](https://mastra.ai/docs/memory/working-memory).
+
+## Security
+
+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. Use [Request Context](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/request-context) to read the verified user from your auth layer and build the `<turn>` tag on the server before calling the agent.
