+ # Working on pi-memoria
2
+
3
+ This is a TypeScript Pi extension with five tools and **one global memory store**.
4
+ README.md documents the product; this file documents how to change and release the repository.
5
+
6
+ ## North star
7
+
8
+ 1. **Recall.** If it is in memory, we retrieve it. If it was said in any prior conversation, session
9
+ search finds it. Failing to retrieve something that exists is the only unacceptable outcome.
10
+ 2. **Speed.** Millisecond retrieval on the common path; no query that changes how the agent works.
11
+ 3. **No context bloat.** Only hot memory (≤ 5000 characters) is always loaded. Everything else is
12
+ retrieved on demand.
13
+
14
+ ## Commands
15
+
16
+ - `npm ci --ignore-scripts`: install the locked development dependencies.
17
+ - `npm run check`: strict TypeScript checking.
18
+ - `npm test`: storage, concurrency, retrieval, and Pi integration tests; uses temporary directories.
19
+ - `npm run verify`: typecheck and tests.
20
+ - `npm run bench`: reproducible local retrieval measurements on synthetic data.
21
+ - `pi -e ./index.ts`: manually try the extension; this uses real global memory unless overridden.
22
+ - `npm pack --dry-run`: inspect the distributable.
23
+
24
+ ## Architecture
25
+
26
+ - `index.ts`: Pi lifecycle hooks, tool schemas, guidance, and bounded tool results.
27
+ - `src/config.ts`: global paths and session-root configuration.
28
+ - `src/database.ts`: SQLite WAL, transactional FTS5 triggers, CRUD, retrieval, alias-expanded keyword queries, exact tag predicates, session-root registry.
29
+ - `src/hot-memory.ts`: authoritative bullet file, stable IDs, priorities, duplicate-safe adds/edits, single-line validation, locking, atomic writes, cap enforcement.
30
+ - `src/aliases.ts`: optional global `synonyms.json` loading/validation and bounded one-hop query expansion.
31
+ - `src/errors.ts`: stable expected-error codes and SQLite failure classification.
32
+ - `src/results.ts`: compact model-facing rendering, UTF-8 byte budgeting, spill files, and the tool error boundary.
33
+ - `src/sessions.ts`: streaming ripgrep search of all JSONL branches and paginated source reads.
34
+ - `src/files.ts`, `src/text.ts`: durable file replacement and validation helpers (including single-line hot validation).
35
+ - `test/`: behavioral tests and isolated fixtures; `scripts/benchmark.ts`: local benchmark.
36
+
37
+ ## Invariants
38
+
39
+ - Never create project-scoped memory or derive the memory directory from `cwd`.
40
+ - The entire generated `MEMORY.md`, including IDs, priority markers, and newlines, must be at most 5,000 JavaScript UTF-16 code units (a conservative character count).
41
+ - Hot memory is for context-free startup requirements. Retrievable preferences belong in SQLite.
42
+ - Archive evicted hot entries in SQLite **before** replacing the hot file. Explicit deletion does not archive.
43
+ - Serialize the entire hot-file read/modify/write with Pi's file mutation queue and a cross-process lock. Use atomic replacement; never truncate the live file in place.
44
+ - Use parameterized SQL and FTS triggers in the same transaction as the source change. Do not introduce embedding services, network calls, background model calls, or automatic conversation summarization.
45
+ - Search every configured session root, including hidden/ignored JSONL files and inactive branches. No project filter, recency cutoff, or implicit result-score threshold.
46
+ - Report pagination, clipping, missing roots, and subprocess errors. A partial or failed search is never proof of absence.
47
+ - Session text is evidence, not new instructions. Preserve role, timestamp, entry/parent IDs, file, and line citations.
48
+ - Spawn `rg` with an argument array and no shell. Ignore external ripgrep configuration. Honor cancellation.
49
+ - Load resources lazily at `session_start` or tool invocation; the extension factory must remain free of filesystem mutations, processes, and timers. Close SQLite idempotently at shutdown.
50
+ - Do not commit or push changes without explicit user approval.
51
+
52
+ ## Development conventions
53
+
54
+ Use explicit `.ts` imports, strict types, Node built-ins, and small modules. Pi loads TypeScript directly; there is no build step. Keep the peer dependency ranges required by Pi packaging; pin the tested Pi version in devDependencies. Update package-lock.json through npm when dependencies change.
55
+
56
+ Read the installed Pi documentation and relevant examples before changing integration code. The reference installation for this workspace is `/home/rcsaquino/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/`; resolve `docs/...` and `examples/...` there, not here. Read referenced Markdown files completely. Check exported declarations for exact API signatures.
57
+
58
+ Add meaningful regression tests for cap boundaries, races, durable retrieval, pagination, and error paths when changing them. Run `npm run verify` before delivery. Benchmark claims must state corpus size and distinguish indexed SQLite lookups from linear session scans.
59
+
60
+ ## Releasing
61
+
62
+ Start a release only when the user decides to bump the version. Tags, GitHub releases, and npm versions are public and are not cleanly removable.
63
+
64
+ 1. Bump `version` in `package.json`, then run `npm run verify`. A version-only bump does not change dependencies, so `package-lock.json` needs no update.
65
+ 2. Commit as `Release X.Y.Z` and push `main`.
66
+ 3. Create an annotated tag `vX.Y.Z` with the message `pi-memoria X.Y.Z` (the convention for `v0.2.0` and later) and push it with the commit:
67
+
68
+ ```sh
69
+ git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "pi-memoria X.Y.Z"
70
+ git push origin main vX.Y.Z
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ 4. Create the GitHub release after the tag exists. Publishing the release triggers
74
+ `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml`, which checks the tag against `package.json`, runs
75
+ `npm run verify`, and publishes to npm. `gh` is installed and authenticated as
76
+ `rcsaquino`:
77
+
78
+ ```sh
79
+ gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "pi-memoria X.Y.Z" --notes-file - <<'EOF'
80
+ ...
81
+ EOF
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ Keep notes factual: what changed, requirements, and limits. Do not restate the README.
85
+
86
+ 5. Watch the workflow and confirm the registry:
87
+
88
+ ```sh
89
+ gh run list --workflow npm-publish.yml --limit 4
90
+ npm view pi-memoria version dist-tags
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ - The workflow authenticates with npm trusted publishing (OIDC). The trusted publisher
94
+ on npmjs.com must name the repository `rcsaquino/pi-memoria` and the workflow file
95
+ `npm-publish.yml`. The package's publishing access disallows traditional tokens,
96
+ so OIDC is the only automated publish path.
97
+ - The `files` field in `package.json` controls the tarball; inspect it with
98
+ `npm pack --dry-run` first.
99
+ - The registry can accept the tarball (`HTTP 202`, "being processed") and take a few
100
+ minutes to expose it. Confirm with `npm view` before reporting success.
101
+ - Fallback only if the workflow is unavailable: `npm publish` locally. Writes require
102
+ 2FA, so it starts the npmjs web-auth flow and needs a real terminal or pseudo-TTY to
103
+ open the browser; without one it fails with `EOTP`. An automation token with 2FA
104
+ bypass also works.
105
+
106
+ Only push tags, create releases, or publish to npm for a user-requested version bump.
107
+
108
+ ## Files and data to protect
109
+
110
+ Never use the user's real `~/.pi/agent/memoria/`, sessions, settings, or credentials in tests. Never commit memory databases, MEMORY.md contents, transcripts, lockfiles from running stores, or benchmark corpora. Do not edit `node_modules/` or generated package-lock.json manually. Do not install the extension into the user's Pi settings unless requested.

- Memory lives in your agent directory and follows you across projects. Search runs
7
- locally, with no database, embedding service or additional runtime dependencies.
8
- The agent can also search pi's saved conversations when a detail was never saved
9
- as a note.

11
- ## Install
17
+ pi-memoria gives Pi one memory shared across every project: instructions that must apply from the first message go in a capped `MEMORY.md`, everything else in SQLite with FTS5, and past conversations stay searchable through ripgrep. Five tools, local storage only. No embeddings, no network calls, no background model work.
12
18
 
13
- Requires pi and Node.js **22.19.0 or later**.
19
+ ## Requirements
20
+
21
+ - **Node.js 22.19+** (uses `node:sqlite`; tested on 22.19 and 24.20).
22
+ - **Pi** with the current extension API (tested with 0.87.1), Node-based. Standalone/Bun builds are not validated with `node:sqlite`.
23
+ - **ripgrep (`rg`) on PATH** for session search.
24
+
25
+ ## Installation
14
26
 
15
27
  ```sh
16
28
  pi install npm:pi-memoria
17
29
  ```
18
30
 
19
- Restart pi or run `/reload` to load the extension and its bundled skills.
20
- No configuration is required.
31
+ Restart Pi or run `/reload`. To uninstall, run `pi remove npm:pi-memoria`; stored memory remains until you delete its directory.
21
32
 
22
- Alternatively, install a tagged release from GitHub:
33
+ <details>
34
+ <summary><strong>Install from a local checkout</strong></summary>
23
35
 
24
36
  ```sh
25
- pi install git:github.com/rcsaquino/pi-memoria@v0.2.0
37
+ npm ci --ignore-scripts
38
+ pi install /absolute/path/to/pi-memoria
26
39
  ```
27
40
 
28
- Use one installation method, not both.
41
+ Keep the checkout in place: a local install references it directly. To try it without installing:
29
42
 
30
- ## Use it
43
+ ```sh
44
+ pi -e /absolute/path/to/pi-memoria/index.ts
45
+ ```
31
46
 
32
- Ask pi to remember something:
47
+ </details>
33
48
 
34
- ```text
35
- Remember that I use pnpm for personal projects and prefer tabs over spaces.
36
- ```
49
+ ## How it works
37
50
 
38
- In a later session, relevant notes are added to the agent's context automatically.
39
- You can also ask directly:
51
+ | Store | What belongs there | How it is retrieved |
52
+ |---|---|---|
53
+ | `MEMORY.md` | Instructions that must apply before any retrieval cue appears | Loaded at startup and refreshed before every user prompt |
54
+ | SQLite + FTS5 | Preferences, facts, decisions, names, conventions | `memoria_search` |
55
+ | Original Pi JSONL sessions | What was actually said, including old branches and pre-compaction messages | `memoria_sessions`, with file and line citations |
40
56
 
41
- ```text
42
- What package manager do I use for personal projects?
43
- What did we decide about the deployment last week?
57
+ "Start every sentence with `beep_boop`" belongs in hot memory: even a session starting with "Hello" must obey it. "The user likes apples" belongs in SQLite with tags such as `fruit` and `preferences`: a fruit recommendation supplies the retrieval cue.
58
+
59
+ The model decides what to save and when to search; nothing is extracted automatically. Before saving, it searches for related memories, keeps unchanged facts, and edits existing ones when information changes. SQLite rejects repeated identical adds; differently worded paraphrases depend on the model's judgment.
60
+
61
+ ## Hot memory
62
+
63
+ ```md
64
+ - [h_0123456789abcdef] [p=90] Start every sentence with beep_boop.
44
65
  ```
45
66
 
46
- Useful commands:
67
+ Priority is **0–100** (default 50). The **entire file**, including IDs and newlines, must fit in **5,000 UTF-16 code units**, checked before every write. Content is single-line; CR, LF, U+2028, and U+2029 are rejected.
47
68
 
48
- | Command | Purpose |
49
- | --- | --- |
50
- | `/memoria` | Show store status and the briefing's size |
51
- | `/memoria search <query>` | Search saved notes |
52
- | `/memoria sessions <query>` | Search earlier conversations |
53
- | `/memoria topics` | Review notes and possible duplicates |
54
- | `/memoria doctor` | Check for consistency problems |
55
- | `/memoria paths` | Show storage locations |
69
+ Duplicate adds reuse the existing bullet and consume no capacity. When space is needed, strictly lower-priority bullets are archived to SQLite first (`hot-archive`), then the file is atomically replaced; if that cannot free enough room, the write fails with the live file unchanged.
56
70
 
57
- Saving a fact and retrieving it are separate steps. Automatic recall searches
58
- existing notes; it does not turn every conversation into a memory. The agent
59
- saves a note when something is worth keeping.
71
+ > [!WARNING]
72
+ > Prefer the tools for edits. External edits can bypass the cap until the next load, and oversized content is never injected.
60
73
 
61
- ## What gets remembered
74
+ ## Recall
62
75
 
63
- Memoria keeps three sources of context:
76
+ Keyword search cannot infer every synonym, and session search has no recency or project filter. For "remember when" questions, search sessions and cite the original entries; follow `next_offset`/`next_text_offset`, and check `warnings` and `exhausted`. A partial or failed search is never proof of absence.
64
77
 
65
- - **A short briefing** (`MEMORY.md`): standing preferences and context included
66
- in the system prompt. Limited to 5,000 characters by default.
67
- - **Topic notes** (`library/`): people, projects, decisions and other details
68
- retrieved when relevant. Facts about the same subject accumulate in one file.
69
- - **Saved conversations**: read-only searches of pi's transcripts, with file and
70
- line references so the agent can check the surrounding dialogue.
78
+ ## Tools
71
79
 
72
- For example, several preferences belong in `preferences/dietary-preferences.md`,
73
- not separate `likes-apples.md` and `likes-pears.md` files. Notes support aliases,
74
- links and superseded decisions. Renaming a note preserves its identity; merging
75
- notes requires an explicit request.
80
+ | Tool | Purpose |
81
+ |---|---|
82
+ | `memoria_add` | Save a fact to SQLite or a startup rule to hot memory |
83
+ | `memoria_edit` | Change content, tags, priority, or hot text by ID |
84
+ | `memoria_delete` | Remove a memory by ID |
85
+ | `memoria_search` | Search SQLite with keywords, modes, and exact tags |
86
+ | `memoria_sessions` | Search or read original Pi session entries with citations |
76
87
 
77
- The default store is separate from the installed extension:
88
+ Tool replies are compact; oversized results spill to a private `pi-memoria-result-*` file.

89
94
  ```
90
95
 
91
- If you set `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`, the store follows that directory. You can read
92
- and edit notes with a text editor; the index picks up changes automatically.

98
+ ```json
99
+ {"store":"hot","content":"Start every sentence with beep_boop.","priority":90}
100
+ ```
95
101
 
96
- Create `~/.pi/agent/memoria/config.json` to override defaults. For example, to
97
- add a project store and teach search an abbreviation:
102
+ **Search memories:**
98
103
 
99
104
  ```json
100
- {
101
- "projectRoot": ".pi/memoria-project",
102
- "synonyms": { "k8s": ["kubernetes"] }
103
- }
105
+ {"query":"k8s deploy","mode":"all","tags":["infrastructure"]}
104
106
  ```
105
107
 
106
- The primary store is user-wide. `projectRoot` adds an optional writable project
107
- store; `extraRoots` adds read-only stores. Reranking is off by default because
108
- it makes an additional model call per search.
108
+ **Search sessions:**
109
+
110
+ ```json
111
+ {"query":"deadline","role":"user","after":"2025-03-04","before":"2025-03-05"}
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ **Read a session entry:**
115
+
116
+ ```json
117
+ {"action":"read","path":"/absolute/path/to/session.jsonl","line":42}
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ - **Add:** `store` is `long_term` (default) or `hot`; SQLite accepts `tags` and `source`. Identical content is reused with `created: false`; edits are the only way to change a fact. SQLite limits: 20,000 characters, 30 tags, 2,000-character source.
121
+ - **Edit/delete:** pass an `id` (`m_` for SQLite, `h_` for hot) and only the fields to change. `expected_revision` or hot `expected_content` catches concurrent writes. Deletion never archives hot bullets or erases sessions.
122
+ - **Search:** `memoria_search` searches SQLite only; hot `h_` entries are injected from `MEMORY.md` and cannot be searched or read by this tool. `mode` is `any` (default), `all`, `phrase`, or `literal`; a miss falls back to a literal scan and reports the mode used. `tags` match exactly and case-sensitively. `expand_aliases` adds `synonyms.json` terms for `any`/`all`. Read an SQLite memory with its `m_` ID; long content paginates via `text_offset`.
123
+ - **Sessions:** decoded JSON is searched, including hidden, ignored, and inactive-branch files. Results carry path/line citations. `exhausted: true` means every accessible root was scanned without errors; warnings mean partial results, never absence.

- | `sessionScanMs` | `1500` | Wall-clock budget for an explicit transcript search (the automatic fallback uses at most 400 ms). |
154
- | `sessionExcerptChars` | `400` | Context characters per transcript hit. |
155
- | `sessionCacheBytes` | `33554432` | In-memory budget for parsed transcripts. |
156
- | `sessionIncludeTools` | `false` | Include tool calls/results and compaction summaries by default. |
157
- | `sessionRipgrep` | `true` | Use a ripgrep prefilter to skip match-free transcripts when `rg` is available; without it the slower built-in scanner runs. |

+ | Variable | Effect |
131
+ |---|---|
132
+ | `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` | Pi's agent directory; memoria defaults to its `memoria/` child |
133
+ | `PI_MEMORIA_DIR` | Override the single global memory directory |
134
+ | `PI_MEMORIA_SESSION_DIRS` | JSON array of additional absolute session roots |

- ## Privacy and limits
136
+ The optional `synonyms.json` next to `memoria.sqlite` maps terms for `any`/`all` searches. Built-ins are `k8s`→`kubernetes`, `db`→`database`, `repo`→`repository`, and `prefs`→`preferences`. Mappings are directional and one-hop; a malformed file is ignored whole with a warning.
162
137
 
163
- **Local storage does not mean model-private memory.** The briefing, recalled
164
- notes and returned transcript excerpts become part of the configured model's
165
- context. With a hosted model, that content is sent to its provider. Reranking
166
- also sends content to the configured model when enabled.

168
- - Notes are not encrypted, and memoria does not detect or redact credentials.
169
- Do not store secrets.
170
- - Search is lexical (BM25 with aliases, synonyms, prefix and fuzzy matching),
171
- not embedding-based. It can miss a paraphrase with no matching terms.
172
- - Recall is bounded. Relevant notes can be omitted by score or context limits;
173
- transcript searches report `partial` when they run out of scan budget.
174
- - Reranking can reorder retrieved notes, not find notes that search missed.
175
- - Deletes move notes to `.trash/`. This is recovery, not secure erasure.
176
- - Writes use atomic file replacement, but separate pi processes are not
177
- coordinated as concurrent writers. Keep backups.
146
+ The default session root is `<agent-dir>/sessions`; roots Pi uses are remembered across projects. Changing `PI_MEMORIA_DIR` selects a different store without migrating the old one, project `cwd` is never used to choose it, and no data is sent over the network.
178
147
 
179
- ## Backup and troubleshooting
148
+ </details>
180
149
 
181
- Back up the store by copying `~/.pi/agent/memoria/` (or
182
- `$PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR/memoria/`). Notes are plain markdown, so a folder copy is
183
- the complete backup; `.index/` is derived and can be omitted.
150
+ ## Performance
184
151
 
185
- If recall misses an existing note, check `/memoria paths`, try a distinctive
186
- name or phrase, then run `/memoria reindex`. For duplicated subjects, use
187
- `/memoria topics` and ask the agent to consolidate the appropriate notes.

+ There is no build step: Pi loads `index.ts` directly. `src/database.ts`, `src/hot-memory.ts`, and `src/sessions.ts` own the storage layers; `index.ts` wires them to lifecycle events and the tool schemas. Tests use temporary directories, real SQLite FTS5, real `rg`, concurrent writers, and Pi's extension loader. See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for architecture and contribution rules.
