+title: "Memory"
+description: "Recall and capture scoped, cross-session context with a custom eve memory provider."
+---
+
+Memory connects an agent to application-owned storage that can outlive one
+session. A provider recalls relevant context before a turn, can capture the
+settled conversation afterward, and can expose tools that operate on the same
+locked scope.
+
+eve owns the lifecycle and model-facing history. Your provider owns storage,
+retrieval, retention, and deletion. eve does not include a built-in filesystem
+provider.
+
+## Add a memory slot
+
+Create `agent/memory.ts` for one slot named `memory`, or use
+`agent/memory/<slot>.ts` for named slots. These forms are mutually exclusive.
+
+```ts title="agent/memory/profile.ts"
+import { defineMemory, type MemoryOperationContext } from "eve/memory";
+import { byPrincipal } from "eve/memory/scope";
+import { defineTool } from "eve/tools";
+import { z } from "zod";
+import { profileStore } from "../lib/profile-store";
+
+async function recallProfile(ctx: MemoryOperationContext) {
+  const profile = await profileStore.get(ctx.memory.scope.key);
+  if (profile === null) return null;
+
+  return {
+    messages: [{ id: "profile", content: JSON.stringify(profile) }],
+  };
+}
+
+export default defineMemory({
+  description: "Manage durable facts and preferences for the current caller.",
+  scope: byPrincipal,
+  provider: {
+    recall: {
+      "turn.started": recallProfile,
+      "compaction.completed": recallProfile,
+    },
+
+    capture: {
+      async "turn.completed"(ctx) {
+        await profileStore.observe(ctx.memory.scope.key, ctx.messages, {
+          operationId: ctx.operationId,
+        });
+      },
+    },
+
+    async tools(ctx) {
+      return {
+        save: defineTool({
+          description: "Save one durable profile fact.",
+          inputSchema: z.object({ key: z.string(), value: z.string() }),
+          async execute(input) {
+            await profileStore.put(ctx.memory.scope.key, input);
+            return { saved: true };
+          },
+        }),
+      };
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The filename is the slot name. The provider tool above is exposed as
+`profile__save`; the slot description is prepended to the tool description.
+Provider tools are ordinary `defineTool()` values, so schemas, approvals, and
+`toModelOutput` work normally. Their callbacks remain replayable after a
+process restart or deployment.
+
+Use `defineMemoryProvider()` when several slots share one provider or when you
+want its contract checked separately:
+
+```ts
+import { defineMemoryProvider, type MemoryOperationContext } from "eve/memory";
+
+async function recall(ctx: MemoryOperationContext) {
+  return await recallFromStore(ctx.memory.scope.key, ctx.messages);
+}
+
+export const provider = defineMemoryProvider({
+  recall: {
+    "turn.started": recall,
+    "compaction.completed": recall,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Choose a scope
+
+`scope` decides who or what shares memory. Set it to a string or `null`, or use
+a resolver that returns a string, a tuple of strings, or `null`. Resolve tenant
+and caller identity from trusted authentication or channel metadata, never from
+model input:
+
+```ts title="agent/memory/account.ts"
+import { defineMemory } from "eve/memory";
+
+export default defineMemory({
+  scope: (ctx) => {
+    const caller = ctx.session.auth.current;
+    const tenantId = caller?.attributes.tenantId;
+
+    if (caller?.principalType !== "user" || typeof tenantId !== "string") {
+      return null;
+    }
+
+    return [tenantId, caller.principalId];
+  },
+  provider,
+});
+```
+
+Returning `null` disables the slot for that operation. eve does not call its
+namespace resolver, provider, or tools, and it never falls back to a shared
+scope. In `eve dev`, a diagnostic names the disabled slot and the resolver
+that returned `null`, without logging the resolved value.
+
+`byPrincipal` uses `auth.current`. It disables memory for anonymous and runtime
+principals and returns the shared `local-dev` scope during local development.
+Use a custom resolver when the boundary also needs a tenant, channel, or
+conversation identifier.
+
+eve validates the namespace and scope, then gives the provider:
+
+- `memory.scope.key`: a versioned, opaque digest for storage lookup;
+- `memory.scope.namespace`: the resolved namespace;
+- `memory.scope.value`: the resolved string or tuple;
+- `memory.slot`: the path-derived slot name.
+
+Use `memory.scope.key` as the provider partition key. It preserves tuple
+boundaries and does not persist raw scope components in eve's durable
+attribution.
+
+## Choose a namespace
+
+The namespace separates an application's memory domains before scope is
+applied. Omit `namespace` for `defaultNamespace`, which includes the graph
+node and slot plus a deployment-aware identity:
+
+- production and other Vercel environments use the project and environment;
+- Preview also uses the branch or deployment identity;
+- local development uses a digest of the application root, never the raw path.
+
+Redeployments keep the same production namespace. Preview branches do not
+share memory accidentally. Set a string or resolver for an explicit domain:
+
+```ts
+export default defineMemory({
+  namespace: "acme-support-v1",
+  scope: byPrincipal,
+  provider,
+});
+```
+
+A custom namespace is complete; eve adds no hidden suffix. Returning `null`
+disables the slot. Scope resolves first, so a disabled scope never invokes the
+namespace resolver.
+
+## Recall behavior
+
+Register recall handlers under their lifecycle keys. `"turn.started"` is
+required and runs before the model. `"compaction.completed"` is optional and
+runs after a compaction checkpoint. A recall handler returns `{ messages }`,
+`null`, or `undefined`. Each recalled item becomes an untrusted user-role
+message; provider content is never promoted to system instructions.
+
+```ts
+return {
+  messages: [
+    { id: "preferred-language", content: "The user prefers Spanish." },
+    { content: "A relevant note without a stable identity." },
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+Use stable `id` values for replaceable facts. A later item with the same ID in
+the same slot, namespace, and scope supersedes the earlier value. An identical
+value is a no-op. Items without IDs accumulate, even when their content is
+identical. Omitting an earlier item from a later result does not delete it.
+
+All active slots lock their scopes before any recall runs. They see the same
+pre-recall history, and eve commits their validated results atomically. Each
+call receives a stable `operationId`; use it as an idempotency key for writes
+performed by capture handlers.
+
+The default `visibility: "scope"` hides a slot's prior recalled records when
+its scope changes. Set `visibility: "session"` only when those records are
+safe to retain for the rest of the session across scope changes. Namespace
+and slot boundaries still apply.
+
+## Lifecycle and compaction
+
+| Phase                  | Provider handler                  | Context                                                    |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `turn.started`         | `recall["turn.started"]`          | History before recall; current delivery is in `turn.input` |
+| `turn.completed`       | `capture["turn.completed"]`       | Settled, projected history after a successful turn         |
+| `compaction.requested` | `capture["compaction.requested"]` | Projected history before the checkpoint changes            |
+| `compaction.completed` | `recall["compaction.completed"]`  | The checkpoint plus canonical recalled records             |
+
+Compaction excludes recalled records from the summarizer, preserves only the
+latest keyed values plus unkeyed values, then recalls again against the new
+checkpoint. This keeps provider context attributable and prevents a summary
+from turning it into ordinary conversation history.
+
+If raw superseded records exceed 512 entries or 256 KiB, eve can canonicalize
+them without waiting for the normal token threshold. This folds superseded
+records without changing the provider's external storage.
+
+`clear()` removes conversation history, recalled records, locked scopes, and
+memory replay bookkeeping from the session. It does not delete data in the
+provider's external store. A later turn can recall that data again.
+
+## Failure behavior
+
+- A throwing or invalid turn-start recall fails before the model call. No
+  slot's recall results are committed.
+- A pre-compaction capture failure leaves history unchanged.
+- A post-compaction recall failure fails an automatic turn. Standalone
+  compaction reports a diagnostic and returns the session to waiting because
+  the checkpoint has already been written.
+- An invalid or throwing `tools()` result is diagnosed and omitted for that
+  turn.
+- A completed-turn capture failure is diagnosed after the response and does
+  not rewrite the completed turn.
+
+Keep provider operations idempotent, enforce backend size and retention
+policies, and treat recalled content as user-controlled data.
+
+## Limits and overrides
+
+Namespaces, scope components, and provider item IDs are limited to 1,024 UTF-8
+bytes. Scope tuples accept at most 16 non-empty components, and the combined
+canonical namespace and scope input is limited to 4,096 bytes. Provider tool
+names must satisfy the normal tool-name grammar after the `<slot>__` prefix is
+added.
+
+An application-owned `agent/tools/<slot>.ts` replaces the generated
+provider-tool wrapper; export `disableTool()` there to remove it. Extensions
+cannot contribute memory slots because scope and lifecycle ownership remain
+with the consuming agent or subagent.
+

+  caller scope for an application store.

-You can add long-term memory from the [integration gallery](/integrations) using the Memory filter, or build tenant-aware memory from your own application store by composing three existing eve primitives:
+First-class [memory](../memory) can load long-term context from your application
+store while keeping every provider call and generated tool inside one trusted
+tenant-and-caller boundary.
 
-1. route auth puts the tenant and user on `ctx.session.auth`;
-2. dynamic instructions load that caller's memories before each turn;
-3. ordinary tools write and delete memories in your application store.
-
-The storage implementation is deliberately outside eve. PostgreSQL, a durable KV store, or a vector database all work as long as every operation is scoped by tenant and user.
+The storage implementation remains application-owned. PostgreSQL, a durable KV
+store, or a vector database all work as long as the partition key is mandatory
+for every read and write.

-The retrieved snapshot becomes a user-role message before the turn's current delivery. It stays in durable history and can be summarized by compaction, so later turns retain the context even if the backing store changes.

+Returning `null` disables memory for unauthenticated or incorrectly scoped

 ```
 
-The complete eve implementation is dynamic instructions plus three normal tools. The database is an application concern hidden behind a small tenant-scoped interface.
+The optional approval on `forget` is product policy. Memory provider tools use
+the ordinary eve approval lifecycle and remain replayable across deployments.
+
+Do not use `defineState` for this data. State belongs to one durable session;
+memory providers bridge sessions through an application-owned store.
