2
+
3
+ > **Goal**: Give new users immediate value on install, harden the security boundary, prevent memory rot, and polish project-scoped memory.
4
+ >
5
+ > **Why this over Session Search**: Session search (SQLite FTS5, cross-session recall) is a big build with questionable daily ROI. These four epics are smaller, higher-leverage, and address real painpoints: the empty-memory cold start, injection through stored content, stale entries accumulating, and the project-memory feature needing polish before users discover it.

20
+
21
+ ## Epic 1: `/memory-interview` Command
22
+
23
+ **Problem**: User installs the extension, memory is empty, gets zero value until multiple sessions accumulate facts organically. This is the single biggest adoption friction point.
24
+
25
+ **Solution**: A `/memory-interview` command that guides the user through 5-7 structured questions and pre-fills `USER.md` with their answers. Pattern borrowed from [Honcho's `/honcho:interview`](https://docs.honcho.dev/v3/guides/integrations/claude-code#the-interview).
26
+
27
+ ### New Files
28
+
29
+ **`src/handlers/interview.ts`** (~100 lines)
30
+
31
+ Registers `/memory-interview` via `pi.registerCommand()`. The handler:
32
+
33
+ 1. Sends a structured interview prompt as a user message via `ctx.sendUserMessage()`
34
+ 2. The agent asks questions one at a time, saving each answer to `USER.md` via the existing `memory` tool
35
+ 3. Uses the existing content scanner (answers go through the same security pipeline)
36
+
37
+ Interview prompt structure (`src/constants.ts` → `INTERVIEW_PROMPT`):
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ You are conducting a brief onboarding interview. Ask these questions one at a time,
41
+ waiting for the user's answer before moving to the next:
42
+
43
+ 1. What should I call you? (name or nickname)
44
+ 2. What timezone are you in?
45
+ 3. What programming languages do you use most?
46
+ 4. What's your preferred editor or IDE?
47
+ 5. Do you have any strong preferences about how I should communicate?
48
+ (e.g., concise vs detailed, show code vs explain, etc.)
49
+ 6. Anything about your work style I should know?
50
+ (e.g., prefer action over planning, specific workflows, etc.)
51
+ 7. Is there anything you want me to always remember?
52
+
53
+ After each answer, save it to the 'user' target using the memory tool.
54
+ Be conversational — don't firehose all questions at once.
55
+ If the user already has entries in USER.md, acknowledge them and offer to
56
+ update or skip.
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ **`tests/handlers/interview.test.ts`** (~100 lines)
60
+
61
+ ### Modified Files
62
+
63
+ **`src/constants.ts`** — Add `INTERVIEW_PROMPT`
64
+
65
+ **`src/index.ts`** — Register the command: `registerInterviewCommand(pi, store)`
66
+
67
+ ### Design Decisions
68
+
69
+ - **Runs as a command, not auto-triggered**: Auto-trigger would interrupt the user's first session. A command gives them control.
70
+ - **Uses existing memory tool**: No new write path — interview answers flow through `content-scanner.ts` for security.
71
+ - **Aware of existing entries**: If `USER.md` already has content, the agent acknowledges it and offers to update/skip rather than overwriting.
72
+ - **Conversational, not form-like**: Agent asks one question at a time, adapts follow-ups based on answers. Feels natural, not like filling a web form.
73
+
74
+ ---
75
+
76
+ ## Epic 2: Context Fencing
77
+
78
+ **Problem**: Memory entries are injected raw into the system prompt. If an attacker manages to write a malicious entry (bypassing the content scanner), or if a legitimate entry contains text that an LLM might misinterpret as user instructions, there's no boundary between stored memory and active discourse.
79
+
80
+ **Solution**: Wrap all memory blocks in `<memory-context>` XML tags with a guard note. This is how Hermes fences memory — see `MemoryManager.build_memory_context_block()`.
81
+
82
+ ### What Changes
83
+
84
+ **`src/store/memory-store.ts`** — `formatForSystemPrompt()` and `formatProjectBlock()`:

+
120
+ **`tests/handlers/system-prompt.test.ts`** — Update block format assertions

+
124
+ Context fencing is always-on. It's purely a safety measure — there's no downside to having it.
125
+
126

127
+
128
+ ## Epic 3: Memory Aging
129
+
130
+ **Problem**: Memory entries live forever. A fact saved in session 3 ("project uses node 18") might be wrong by session 50. The consolidation prompt doesn't know which entries are stale.
131
+
132
+ **Solution**: Add `created_at` and `last_referenced` timestamps to each entry. Store them as invisible comments on the same line (transparent to the `§` delimiter). Surface age info in the consolidation prompt.
133
+
134
+ ### Entry Format Change
135
+
136
+ Before:
137
+ ```
138
+ user prefers vim over nano
139
+ §
140
+ project uses pnpm not npm
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ After:
144
+ ```
145
+ user prefers vim over nano <!-- created=2026-05-02, last=2026-05-15 -->
146
+ §
147
+ project uses pnpm not npm <!-- created=2026-04-20, last=2026-04-20 -->
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ ### What Changes
151
+
152
+ **Metadata encoding/decoding** — Two helper functions:
153
+
154
+ ```typescript
155
+ // Encode metadata as invisible HTML comment appended to entry text
156
+ function encodeEntry(text: string, created: string, lastReferenced: string): string {
157
+ return `${text} <!-- created=${created}, last=${lastReferenced} -->`;
158
+ }
159
+
160
+ // Decode: strip metadata comment, return { text, created, lastReferenced }
161
+ function decodeEntry(raw: string): { text: string; created: string; lastReferenced: string } {
162
+ const match = raw.match(/^(.*?)\s*<!--\s*created=([^,]+),\s*last=([^>]+)\s*-->\s*$/);
163
+ if (match) {
164
+ return { text: match[1].trim(), created: match[2].trim(), last: match[3].trim() };
165
+ }
166
+ // Legacy entries without metadata — use today as default
167
+ const today = new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0];
168
+ return { text: raw.trim(), created: today, last: today };
169
+ }
170
+ ```
171
+
172
+ **`src/store/memory-store.ts`** changes:
173
+ - `add()` — encodes metadata on new entries (date = today)
174
+ - `readFile()` — decodes entries on load, preserves raw text for display
175
+ - `formatForSystemPrompt()` — strips metadata comments from display (clean output)
176
+ - New method: `touchEntry(target, text)` — updates `last_referenced` timestamp
177
+ - `renderBlock()` — no change needed (metadata is in comments, invisible in markdown)
178
+
179
+ **`src/constants.ts`** — Update `CONSOLIDATION_PROMPT` to mention age:
180
+
181
+ ```
182
+ The memory is at capacity. Review the current entries and consolidate them:
183
+ - Merge related entries into a single, concise entry
184
+ - Remove outdated or superseded entries (entries older than 30 days without recent references are candidates)
185
+ - Keep the most important and frequently-referenced facts
186
+ - Preserve user preferences and corrections (highest priority)
187
+
188
+ Entry metadata shows when each was created and last referenced.
189
+ Use this to identify stale entries.
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ **`src/tools/memory-tool.ts`** — When `replace` matches an entry, preserve its `created` date (only update `last_referenced`). When `add` creates a new entry, set both to today.
193
+
194
+ **Tests**: Update `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` to cover metadata round-trip encoding/decoding, backward compatibility with legacy entries, and format output cleanliness.
195
+
196
+ ### Backward Compatibility
197
+
198
+ - **Old entries without metadata** load fine — `decodeEntry` falls back to today's date.
199
+ - **Format output** is unchanged — metadata lives in HTML comments, invisible in markdown.
200
+ - **§ delimiter** unchanged — comments are part of the entry text, split is the same.
201
+ - **No migration needed** — new entries get metadata, old ones get default dates on next load.
202
+
203
+ ### No New Config (for now)
204
+
205
+ Aging is always-on. Config options for staleness thresholds can come in v0.4 if needed.
206
+
207

208
+
209
+ ## Epic 4: Project Memory Polish
210
+
211
+ **Problem**: The feature branch added project-scoped memory (`~/.pi/agent/<project>/MEMORY.md`) but it was bolted on quickly. Needs cleanup, testing, documentation, and UI visibility before users discover it.
212
+
213
+ ### What's Already Done (from feature branch)
214
+ - `MemoryStore` supports `memoryDir` config (project uses separate dir)
215
+ - `formatProjectBlock()` renders project-specific header
216
+ - Project store is injected in system prompt alongside global memory
217
+ - `/memory-insights` shows project section
218
+ - Config: `projectCharLimit` defaults to 2200
219
+
220
+ ### What Needs Doing
221
+
222
+ 1. **`/memory-insights` polish** — Show project memory more prominently. Add a separator between global and project sections. Show per-section usage stats. Show file paths.
223
+
224
+ 2. **`/memory-switch-project` command** — If the user moves to a different project directory, they can manually switch the active project memory. Otherwise, project is auto-detected from `process.cwd()` at extension load.
225
+
226
+ 3. **Config docs** — Document `projectCharLimit` in README config table (already done in our review fixes). Add a section explaining the two-tier memory design.
227
+
228
+ 4. **Test coverage** — Add dedicated tests for project memory behavior:
229
+ - `null` projectStore when in home directory (no project)
230
+ - Project store loads/writes to correct directory
231
+ - System prompt includes project block when available
232
+ - `/memory-insights` shows project section
233
+
234
+ 5. **`src/index.ts` cleanup** — The project detection logic is currently inline. Extract into a helper. Make the project name detection robust (handle edge cases like `/`, empty cwd).
235
+
236
+ ### Modified Files
237
+
238
+ **`src/handlers/insights.ts`** — Polish output for project section
239
+
240
+ **`src/index.ts`** — Extract project detection helper, register switch command
241
+
242
+ **`tests/handlers/insights.test.ts`** — Add project section tests
243
+
244
+ **`tests/handlers/system-prompt.test.ts`** — Add project block tests
245
+
246
+ **`README.md`** — Add two-tier memory architecture section
247
+

255
+
256
+ ## Epic 5: Documentation & Release
257

259
+ - Update `docs/ROADMAP.md` — mark v0.3 complete, restructure v0.4
260

+ ## What We're NOT Building in v0.3
295
+
296
+ - **Session Search / SQLite** — Moves to v0.4. Big build, questionable ROI for this phase.
297
+ - **External providers** (Mem0, Honcho) — Still v0.5.
298
+ - **Confidence scoring** — v1.0. Needs more usage data before we can tune it.
299
+ - **Multi-agent memory** — v1.0. Nobody's running multi-agent setups with this yet.

+
301
+ ## Why This Order
302
+
303
+ | Rank | Why |
304
+ |---|---|
305
+ | 1. Interview | Single biggest adoption fix. Empty memory → immediate value gap. |
306

+ ## What Moves to v0.4
312
+
313
+ The original v0.3 (Session Search + Context Hardening) is split:
314
+ - Context fencing + memory aging → **v0.3 now**
315
+ - Session search (SQLite FTS5) → **v0.4**
316
+
317
+ v0.4 also gains the `MemoryBackend` interface from original v0.4, making it "Structured Storage + Session Search" — SQLite backend that handles both structured entries AND cross-session search in one build.

321
+ ## Verification
322
+
323
+ After each epic:
324
+ 1. `npm run check` — zero type errors
325
+ 2. `npm test` — all tests pass (per-file runner)
326
+ 3. Manual test: `pi -e ./src/index.ts` — verify the feature in a live session
327
+
328
+ Final:
329
+ 4. Full regression: all existing tests + new tests pass
330
+ 5. Tag v0.3.0, publish to npm

11
+ ## Epic 1: `/memory-interview` Command
12
+
13
+ _Done when: a new user can type `/memory-interview`, answer 5-7 questions, and have USER.md pre-filled with their preferences._
14
+
15
+ ### Constants
16
+ - [ ] `src/constants.ts` — add `INTERVIEW_PROMPT` with structured question flow (one-at-a-time, conversational, aware of existing entries)
17
+
18
+ ### Implementation
19
+ - [ ] `src/handlers/interview.ts` — `registerInterviewCommand()` via `pi.registerCommand()`
20
+ - [ ] Handler sends interview prompt via `ctx.sendUserMessage()` as a steering message
21
+ - [ ] Agent acknowledges existing entries if USER.md is not empty (offers update/skip)
22
+ - [ ] Interview uses existing `memory` tool for writes (goes through content scanner)
23
+ - [ ] `src/index.ts` — wire `registerInterviewCommand(pi, store)`
24
+
25
+ ### Tests
26
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/interview.test.ts` — command registered, prompt contains key questions, existing entries check, sends user message
27
+
28
+ ---
29
+
30
+ ## Epic 2: Context Fencing
31
+
32
+ _Done when: all memory blocks in the system prompt are wrapped in `<memory-context>` XML tags with a guard note._
33
+
34
+ ### Implementation
35
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — update `renderBlock()` to wrap output in `<memory-context>` + guard note + closing tag
36
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — update `renderProjectBlock()` same treatment
37
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — update `formatForSystemPrompt()` if needed (the blocks come from `renderBlock`, so this may be automatic)
38
+ - [ ] `src/store/skill-store.ts` — update `formatIndexForSystemPrompt()` to use same fencing pattern
39
+
40
+ ### Tests
41
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — update `formatForSystemPrompt()` assertions to check for `<memory-context>` tags and guard note
42
+ - [ ] `tests/store/skill-store.test.ts` — update `formatIndexForSystemPrompt()` assertions for fencing
43
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/system-prompt.test.ts` — update system prompt block format assertions
44
+
45

46
+
47
+ ## Epic 3: Memory Aging
48
+
49
+ _Done when: entries carry `created_at` and `last_referenced` timestamps, consolidation prompt uses age to identify stale entries, and old entries without metadata load correctly._
50
+
51
+ ### Metadata Encoding
52
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — add `encodeEntry(text, created, lastReferenced)` helper
53
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — add `decodeEntry(raw)` helper with backward-compatible fallback for legacy entries
54
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — `add()` encodes metadata on new entries (both dates = today)
55
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — `readFile()` decodes entries on load, strips metadata for display
56
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — `formatForSystemPrompt()` strips metadata comments from rendered output (clean display)
57
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — `replace()` preserves original `created` date, updates `last_referenced` to today
58
+ - [ ] `src/store/memory-store.ts` — add `touchEntry(target, text)` method that updates `last_referenced` timestamp
59
+
60
+ ### Consolidation Prompt
61
+ - [ ] `src/constants.ts` — update `CONSOLIDATION_PROMPT` to mention entry age and staleness heuristics ("entries older than 30 days without recent references are candidates")
62
+
63
+ ### Tests
64
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — metadata encode/decode round-trip
65
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — backward compatibility: legacy entry (no metadata) loads with today's date
66
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — `formatForSystemPrompt()` output does NOT contain metadata comments
67
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — `replace()` preserves `created` date, updates `last_referenced`
68
+ - [ ] `tests/store/memory-store.test.ts` — `add()` sets both dates to today
69
+

71
+
72
+ ## Epic 4: Project Memory Polish
73
+
74
+ _Done when: project-scoped memory is tested, documented, has a visible `/memory-insights` section, and has a `/memory-switch-project` command._
75
+
76
+ ### Insights Command
77
+ - [ ] `src/handlers/insights.ts` — add separator between global and project sections
78
+ - [ ] `src/handlers/insights.ts` — show per-section usage stats and file paths
79
+ - [ ] `src/handlers/insights.ts` — handle `projectStore === null` gracefully (hide section, don't show "empty")
80
+
81
+ ### Switch Project Command
82
+ - [ ] `src/handlers/switch-project.ts` — register `/memory-switch-project` command
83
+ - [ ] Handler accepts project name argument, switches active project directory
84
+ - [ ] Command shows current project and available projects (list subdirectories of `~/.pi/agent/` that have MEMORY.md)
85
+
86
+ ### Index Cleanup
87
+ - [ ] `src/index.ts` — extract project detection into `detectProject(cwd, homeDir)` helper function
88
+ - [ ] Handle edge cases: cwd === homeDir, cwd === "/", empty cwd, missing directory
89
+
90
+ ### Tests
91
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/insights.test.ts` — project section shown when projectStore available
92
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/insights.test.ts` — project section hidden when projectStore is null
93
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/insights.test.ts` — usage stats shown in project section
94
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/system-prompt.test.ts` — project block injected when available
95
+ - [ ] `tests/handlers/system-prompt.test.ts` — project block NOT injected when projectStore is null
96
+
97
+ ### Docs
98
+ - [ ] `README.md` — add "Two-Tier Memory Architecture" section explaining global vs project memory
99
+ - [ ] `README.md` — document `/memory-switch-project` command
100
+
101
+ ---
102
+
103
+ ## Epic 5: Documentation & Release
104
+
105
+ _Done when: v0.3.0 is tagged and released with updated docs._
106
+
107
+ - [ ] Update `README.md` — interview command usage, context fencing note, two-tier memory diagram
108
+ - [ ] Update `docs/ROADMAP.md` — mark v0.3 complete, restructure v0.4 (Session Search + MemoryBackend interface)
109
+ - [ ] `npm run check` passes with zero errors
110
+ - [ ] `npm test` — all tests pass (per-file runner)
111
+ - [ ] Bump `package.json` version to `0.3.0`
112
+ - [ ] Tag v0.3.0 release
113
+ - [ ] `npm publish`
