11
+ ## What is Sparn?
12
+
13
+ Sparn is an npm CLI package that applies 6 neuroscience principles to intelligently prune, score, and compress AI agent context memory. It reduces token usage by 60-90% while maintaining task completion quality.
14
+
15
+ ### Neuroscience Principles
16
+
17
+ 1. **Sparse Coding** - Keep only 2-5% most relevant context
18
+ 2. **Engram Theory** - Memories decay over time
19
+ 3. **Hippocampal KV** - Separate what to store from how to retrieve
20
+ 4. **Multi-State Synapses** - Silent, ready, or active states
21
+ 5. **Sleep Replay** - Periodic memory consolidation
22
+ 6. **BTSP** - One-shot learning for critical events
23
+
24

254
+
255
+ ## Programmatic API
256
+
257
+ ### Basic Optimization
258
+
259
+ ```typescript
260
+ import { createSparsePruner, estimateTokens } from 'sparn';
261
+
262
+ const context = `
263
+ Line 1: Old file content
264
+ Line 2: More old content
265
+ Line 3: Error: Connection timeout
266
+ ...
267
+ `;
268
+
269
+ const pruner = createSparsePruner();
270
+ const result = pruner.prune(context, 5);
271
+
272
+ console.log(`Tokens before: ${estimateTokens(context)}`);
273
+ console.log(`Tokens after: ${estimateTokens(result.prunedContext)}`);
274
+ console.log(`Kept ${result.entriesKept.length} entries`);
275
+ ```
276
+
277
+ ### Using Memory Store
278
+
279
+ ```typescript
280
+ import { createKVMemory, type MemoryEntry } from 'sparn';
281
+
282
+ const memory = await createKVMemory('./.sparn/memory.db');
283
+
284
+ // Store entry
285
+ const entry: MemoryEntry = {
286
+ id: crypto.randomUUID(),
287
+ content: 'Error: Connection timeout',
288
+ hash: hashContent('Error: Connection timeout'),
289
+ timestamp: Date.now() / 1000,
290
+ score: 0.85,
291
+ ttl: 86400,
292
+ state: 'active',
293
+ accessCount: 0,
294
+ tags: ['error'],
295
+ metadata: { severity: 'high' },
296
+ isBTSP: true,
297
+ };
298
+
299
+ await memory.put(entry);
300
+
301
+ // Query active entries
302
+ const activeEntries = await memory.query({
303
+ state: 'active',
304
+ minScore: 0.7,
305
+ limit: 10,
306
+ });
307
+
308
+ await memory.close();
309
+ ```
310
+
311
+ ### Full Pipeline
312
+
313
+ ```typescript
314
+ import {
315
+ createSparsePruner,
316
+ createEngramScorer,
317

318
+ createBTSPEmbedder,
319
+ estimateTokens,
320
+ hashContent,
321
+ } from 'sparn';
322
+
323
+ async function optimizeWithPipeline(context: string) {
324
+ const pruner = createSparsePruner({ threshold: 5 });
325
+ const scorer = createEngramScorer({ defaultTTL: 24 });
326
+ const states = createConfidenceStates();
327
+ const btsp = createBTSPEmbedder();
328
+
329
+ // 1. Sparse pruning
330
+ const pruneResult = pruner.prune(context, 5);
331
+
332
+ // 2. Create entries
333
+ const entries = pruneResult.entriesKept.map(line => {
334
+ const isBTSPEntry = btsp.detectBTSP(line);
335
+ return {
336
+ id: crypto.randomUUID(),
337
+ content: line,
338
+ hash: hashContent(line),
339
+ timestamp: Date.now() / 1000,
340
+ score: isBTSPEntry ? 1.0 : 0.5,
341
+ ttl: isBTSPEntry ? 172800 : 86400,
342
+ state: isBTSPEntry ? 'active' : 'ready',
343
+ accessCount: 0,
344
+ tags: [],
345
+ metadata: {},
346
+ isBTSP: isBTSPEntry,
347
+ };
348
+ });
349
+
350
+ // 3. Score and transition
351
+ const scoredEntries = entries.map(entry => {
352
+ const score = scorer.calculateScore(entry);
353
+ return states.transition({ ...entry, score });
354
+ });
355
+
356
+ return {
357
+ optimizedContext: scoredEntries.map(e => e.content).join('\n'),
358
+ tokensBefore: estimateTokens(context),
359
+ tokensAfter: estimateTokens(pruneResult.prunedContext),
360
+ distribution: states.getDistribution(scoredEntries),
361
+ };
362
+ }
363
+ ```
364
+
365
+ ---
366
+
367
+ ## Configuration
368
+
369
+ Edit `.sparn/config.yaml`:
370
+
371
+ ```yaml
372
+ # Pruning settings
373
+ pruning:
374
+ threshold: 5 # Keep top 5% (1-100)
375
+ aggressiveness: 50 # TF-IDF weight (0-100)
376
+
377
+ # Decay settings
378
+ decay:
379
+ defaultTTL: 24 # Hours (default: 24h)
380
+ decayThreshold: 0.95 # Prune threshold (0.0-1.0)
381
+
382
+ # Confidence state thresholds
383
+ states:
384
+ activeThreshold: 0.7 # Score > 0.7 → active
385
+ readyThreshold: 0.3 # Score 0.3-0.7 → ready
386
+
387
+ # Agent adapter
388
+ agent: generic # claude-code | generic
389
+
390
+ # UI settings
391
+ ui:
392
+ colors: true # Colored output
393
+ sounds: false # Sound effects
394
+ verbose: false # Verbose logging
395
+
396
+ # Auto-consolidation (hours, or null for manual)
397
+ autoConsolidate: null
398
+ ```
399
+
400
+ ---
401
+
402
+ ## Common Workflows
403
+
404
+ ### Claude Code Integration
405
+
406
+ ```bash
407
+ # Generate context file
408
+ cat src/**/*.ts > context.txt
409
+
410
+ # Optimize
411
+ sparn optimize --input context.txt --output optimized.txt
412
+ ```
413
+
414
+ ### Daily Cleanup
415
+
416
+ Schedule via cron:
417
+
418
+ ```bash
419
+ # Add to crontab
420
+ 0 2 * * * cd /your-project && sparn consolidate
421
+ ```
422
+
423
+ Or configure auto-consolidation:
424
+
425
+ ```bash
426
+ sparn config set autoConsolidate 24 # Every 24 hours
427
+ ```
428
+
429
+ ### Git Diff Optimization
430
+
431
+ ```bash
432
+ git diff | sparn optimize | less
433
+
434
+ # Or via relay
435
+ sparn relay git diff --stat
436
+ ```
437
+
438
+ ### Build Log Analysis
439
+
440
+ ```bash
441
+ sparn relay npm run build
442
+ sparn relay cargo build --verbose
443
+ sparn relay tsc --noEmit
444
+ ```
445
+
446
+ ---
447
+
448
+ ## Troubleshooting
449
+
450
+ ### "Not initialized" Error
451
+
452
+ **Error:** `Error: .sparn/ not found. Run 'sparn init' first.`
453
+
454
+ **Solution:**
455
+ ```bash
456
+ cd your-project/
457
+ sparn init
458
+ ```
459
+
460
+ ### Context Too Large
461
+
462
+ **Error:** `Error: Context exceeds 500K tokens`
463
+
464
+ **Solution:** Increase threshold or split context:
465
+ ```bash
466
+ sparn config set pruning.threshold 10 # Keep top 10%
467
+ ```
468
+
469
+ ### No Entries Active
470
+
471
+ **Problem:** All entries marked silent, no context retained
472
+
473
+ **Solution:** Lower active threshold:
474
+ ```bash
475
+ sparn config set states.activeThreshold 0.5
476
+ ```
477
+
478
+ ### Database Locked
479
+
480
+ **Error:** `Error: database is locked`
481
+
482
+ **Solution:** Close other Sparn processes or consolidate:
483
+ ```bash
484
+ sparn consolidate # Unlocks and compacts database
485
+ ```
486
+
487
+ ---
488
+
489
+ ## Best Practices
490
+
491
+ 1. **Initialize Once** - Run `sparn init` once per project root
492
+ 2. **Regular Consolidation** - Run `sparn consolidate` weekly or enable auto-consolidation
493
+ 3. **Monitor Stats** - Check `sparn stats` to track savings
494
+ 4. **Tune for Your Project**:
495
+ - Code-heavy: Lower threshold (keep more context)
496
+ - Log-heavy: Higher threshold (aggressive pruning)
497
+ 5. **Use Relay for CLIs** - Wrap frequently-run commands in `sparn relay`
498
+ 6. **BTSP for Errors** - Errors are automatically flagged as high-priority
499
+ 7. **Tag Important Entries** - Use metadata for custom filtering (API)
500
+

572
+ # Run tests
573
+ npm test
574
+ ```
575
+
576
+ ### Available Scripts
577
+
578
+ ```bash
579
+ npm run build # Build with tsup (CJS + ESM + DTS)
580
+ npm run dev # Watch mode for development
581
+ npm test # Run all tests with vitest
582
+ npm run test:watch # Run tests in watch mode
583
+ npm run lint # Lint code with biome
584
+ npm run lint:fix # Fix linting issues automatically
585
+ npm run typecheck # Type check without emit
586
+ ```
587
+
588
+ ### Running Locally
589
+
590
+ ```bash
591
+ # Build first
592
+ npm run build
593
+
594
+ # Test CLI commands
595
+ node dist/cli/index.js init
596
+ node dist/cli/index.js --help
597
+
598
+ # Or link globally for testing
599
+ npm link
600
+ sparn --version
601
+ ```
602
+
603
+ ### Constitution Compliance
604
+
605
+ All code must follow the [Sparn Constitution](.specify/memory/constitution.md):
606
+
607
+ 1. **CLI-First, Library-Second** - CLI commands wrap library modules
608
+ 2. **Neuroscience Fidelity** - Code maps to documented brain mechanisms
609
+ 3. **Test-First Development (TDD)** - Tests FIRST, then implementation
610
+ 4. **Agent-Agnostic Design** - Core modules have zero agent knowledge
611
+ 5. **Complementary to RTK** - Optimizes input context, not CLI output
612
+ 6. **Minimal Dependencies** - Only justified runtime dependencies
613
+ 7. **Simplicity First** - Max 3 dir levels, YAML config, no complexity
614
+ 8. **Brand Consistency** - Pink brain (#FF6B9D), Neural Cyan, Synapse Violet
615
+ 9. **Production-Quality TypeScript** - Strict mode, no `any`, JSDoc on all public APIs
