 # Persyst
 
-**Local-first MCP memory server for coding agents.**
+**Local-first, compliance-grade MCP memory layer for regulated enterprise coding teams using AI assistants.**
 
-Persyst gives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Aider, Windsurf, Antigravity) persistent memory across sessions. It stores memories in a local SQLite database with hybrid keyword + semantic search — no cloud, no API keys, works offline.
+Persyst gives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Aider, Continue.dev, Antigravity) persistent memory across sessions. It stores memories in a local SQLite database with hybrid keyword + semantic search — operating 100% offline with zero cloud egress.
+
+## Compliance-Grade Security Features
+
+Persyst is built from the ground up for highly regulated enterprise environments (finance, healthcare, defense) subject to **SOC 2**, **HIPAA**, and the **EU AI Act**:
+
+* **100% Data Residency (Zero-Egress)**: All vector calculations, full-text searches, and model inferences run locally on the developer's workstation. No database records or context data ever leave the local machine. Bypasses Business Associate Agreement (BAA) complexity for HIPAA.
+* **Cryptographic Chain of Custody**: Every context retrieval generates an Ed25519 cryptographic signature sealing the query and retrieved memory hashes. Each attestation is chained to the previous one via SHA-256 hash chains, creating a tamper-evident audit ledger verifiable by security teams.
+* **Automatic Secret Redaction**: Scans incoming log files and text writes to redact high-entropy secrets (API keys, JWTs, database strings, private keys) before they reach the persistent database.
+* **Reactive File Watching**: Integrates `chokidar` for instant event-driven scanning of agent transcript folders, guaranteeing that your memories are synchronized immediately after each agent interaction.

 ## How It Works
 
@@ -16,6 +31,14 @@ Your AI Agent ←→ MCP (stdio) ←→ Persyst ←→ SQLite (local)
 
 > 🚨 **First-Run Note**: On the first start, Persyst will automatically download the local embedding model (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2` ~50MB). This can take 30-60 seconds depending on your connection. The server will log `Loading embedding model...` and then proceed normally.
 
+### Passive Recording vs. Active Retrieval
+
+> ⚠️ **Honest Note on Agent Integration**: Persyst operates in two complementary modes:
+> 1. **Passive Recording**: The file watcher automatically extracts and saves memories from your agent conversation transcripts in the background.
+> 2. **Active Retrieval**: The AI agent calls `search_memories` or `get_optimized_context` to fetch relevant context.
+>
+> The IDE itself does not automatically inject retrieved memories into prompt inputs unless configured to do so via workspace rules (e.g. `.cursorrules`, `.windsurfrules`, `.agents/AGENTS.md`) or custom system prompt builders. To ensure the agent utilizes its memory, make sure your agent instructions direct it to query the database.

- * persyst-init — Workspace rules generator for VS Code-based IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity)

  * 
  * Usage:
  *   npx persyst-mcp init

- *   1. Safely creates or appends system instructions to `.cursorrules`

- *   3. Creates a general `.persystrules.md` copy-pasteable guide
- *   4. Prints instructions on configuring MCP servers in Cursor/VS Code/Antigravity
- * 
- * Design:
- *   - Non-destructive: checks for existing content before appending to avoid duplication
- *   - Idempotent: safe to run multiple times
- *   - Localized: targets the current working directory (project root)
+ *   1. Safely creates or appends system instructions to `.cursorrules` and `.windsurfrules`
+ *   2. Creates a general `.persystrules.md` workspace guide
+ *   3. Configures Git post-commit hook for auto-ingestion
+ *   4. Generates cryptographic Ed25519 keys inside ~/.persyst
+ *   5. Automatically detects and configures global settings for Cursor, Aider, Claude Code, and Continue
