-**Cloudflare for AI memory.**
+**Your AI agent forgets everything. Fix that.**
 
-Every AI agent is getting persistent memory. Nobody is asking what happens when that memory gets poisoned, when credentials leak into storage, or when a compromised memory tells your agent to delete files.
-
-ShieldCortex is a 6-layer defence pipeline that sits between your agent and its memory. It blocks injection attacks, detects credential leaks, gates dangerous actions, and gives you a full audit trail of everything your agent remembers.
-
-```bash
-npm install -g shieldcortex    # Node.js
-pip install shieldcortex       # Python
-```
+ShieldCortex gives AI agents persistent memory that actually works — knowledge graphs, semantic search, automatic decay, and contradiction detection. And unlike raw memory, it can't be poisoned: a 6-layer defence pipeline scans every write for injection attacks, credential leaks, and prompt hijacking.
 
 ```bash
-shieldcortex install           # ready in 30 seconds
+npm install -g shieldcortex
+shieldcortex install        # ready in 30 seconds
 ```
 
-**Works with:** Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, MCP-compatible agents, and REST-based Python stacks.

-## The Problem
-
-AI agents with persistent memory are powerful. They are also a new attack surface.
-
-**Poisoned instructions:** A prompt injection enters memory. Next session, your agent executes it as trusted context — deleting files, leaking data, or modifying code it shouldn't touch.
-
-**Credential leaks:** Your agent stores an API key, database password, or private key in memory. Now it's sitting in plaintext on disk, searchable by any process.
-
-**Rogue actions:** A compromised memory tells the agent to send an email, call an API, or run a destructive command. Without behaviour controls, it just does it.
+<!-- TODO: Replace with actual GIF of remember → recall across sessions -->
+<!-- ![Demo](docs/images/demo.gif) -->
 
-ShieldCortex stops all three.
+**Works with:** Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, any MCP-compatible agent, and Python stacks via REST API.

-## How It Works
+## Why ShieldCortex?
 
-ShieldCortex is not just a memory database. It is a three-layer runtime:
-
-| Layer | What It Does | Outcome |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Defence Pipeline** | 6-layer content scanning on every memory write | Blocks poisoned, injected, or sensitive payloads before they reach storage |
-| **Iron Dome** | Outbound behaviour controls — action gates, PII guard, channel trust | Stops compromised agents from taking dangerous actions |
-| **Memory Engine** | Persistent storage, semantic search, knowledge graphs, consolidation | Your agent remembers context across sessions without losing continuity |
-
-Most memory systems give agents a brain. ShieldCortex gives them a brain with an immune system.

+|---|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory | SQLite, survives restarts | Markdown files | Yes |
+| Semantic search | FTS5 + vector embeddings | grep | Yes |
+| Knowledge graph | Auto-extracted entities + relationships | No | No |
+| Decay & forgetting | Old memories fade naturally | No | No |
+| Contradiction detection | Flags conflicting memories | No | No |
+| Consolidation | Auto-merges duplicates | No | No |

-## Start in 60 Seconds
+## Get Started
 
 ### Claude Code / Cursor / VS Code
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g shieldcortex
 shieldcortex install
+# restart your editor — done
 ```
 
-This registers the MCP server, adds session hooks, and configures memory instructions. Restart your editor and you're live.
-
-### OpenClaw
-
-```bash
-npm install -g shieldcortex
-shieldcortex openclaw install
-openclaw gateway restart
-```
-
-Installs both:
-- `cortex-memory` hook — context injection at session start, keyword-trigger saves
-- `shieldcortex-realtime` plugin — real-time `llm_input`/`llm_output` scanning
-
-Auto-memory extraction is off by default to avoid duplicating OpenClaw's native memory. Enable it:
-
-```bash
-shieldcortex config --openclaw-auto-memory
-```
+This registers the MCP server, adds session hooks, and configures memory. Your agent now remembers across sessions, extracts context automatically, and scans every memory write for threats.

-| 2 | **Pattern Detection** | Known injection patterns, encoding tricks, obfuscation |

-| 4 | **Structural Validation** | JSON integrity, format anomalies, fragmentation |
-| 5 | **Behavioural Scoring** | Entropy analysis, anomaly detection, deviation from baseline |

-| Capability | Description |
-|---|---|
-| **Security Profiles** | `school`, `enterprise`, `personal`, `paranoid` — preconfigured action policies |
-| **Action Gates** | Gate `send_email`, `delete_file`, `api_call`, etc. — allow, require approval, or block |
-| **Injection Scanner** | Scan any text for prompt injection patterns with severity and category |
-| **Channel Trust** | Control which instruction sources (terminal, email, webhook) are trusted |
-| **PII Guard** | Detect and block personally identifiable information in outbound actions |
-| **Kill Switch** | Emergency shutdown of all agent actions |

-## Memory Engine
+## What It Does
 
-ShieldCortex provides a full-featured memory system, not just a security layer:
+### Memory Engine
 
-| Feature | Description |
-|---|---|
-| **Persistent Storage** | SQLite-backed, survives restarts and context compaction |
-| **Semantic Search** | Full-text search with vector embedding fallback (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) |
-| **Knowledge Graph** | Automatic entity and relationship extraction |
-| **Project Scoping** | Isolate memories per project/workspace |
-| **Importance Levels** | Critical, high, normal, low — with automatic decay |
-| **Categories** | Architecture, decisions, preferences, context, learnings, errors, patterns |
-| **Decay & Forgetting** | Old, unaccessed memories fade naturally — like a real brain |
-| **Consolidation** | Automatic merging of similar and duplicate memories |
-| **Contradiction Detection** | Flags when new memories conflict with existing ones |
-| **Activation Scoring** | Recently accessed memories get retrieval priority |
-| **Salience Scoring** | Important memories surface first in search results |
+Your agent gets a brain — not a flat file.
 
-```javascript
-import { addMemory, initDatabase } from 'shieldcortex';
+- **Semantic search** — FTS5 keyword search with vector embedding fallback (all-MiniLM-L6-v2). Find memories by meaning, not just exact words.
+- **Knowledge graph** — Entities and relationships auto-extracted from every memory. Navigate visually in the dashboard.
+- **Decay & forgetting** — Old, unaccessed memories fade naturally. Important ones persist. Like a real brain.
+- **Consolidation** — Duplicate memories auto-merged. Topic clusters get summary memories. Content-aware, not just time-based.
+- **Contradiction detection** — New memories that conflict with existing ones are flagged automatically.
+- **Project scoping** — Memories isolated per project. Cross-project queries with `project: "*"`.
+- **Webhooks** — POST notifications on memory events. HMAC-SHA256 signed.
+- **Expiry rules** — Auto-delete TODOs after 30 days, keep architecture forever. Configurable per category/type/tag.

-  title: 'Auth decision',
-  content: 'Payment API requires OAuth2 bearer tokens, not API keys',
-  category: 'architecture',
-  importance: 'high',
-  project: 'my-project'
-});
-```
+Every memory write passes through 6 layers:

+| Layer | What It Catches |
+|---|---|
+| Input Sanitisation | Control characters, null bytes, dangerous formatting |
+| Pattern Detection | Known injection patterns, encoding tricks, obfuscation |
+| Semantic Analysis | Embedding similarity to attack corpus — catches novel attacks |

-## Universal Memory Bridge
+Blocked content is quarantined for review, not silently dropped.
 
-ShieldCortex can sit in front of **any** existing memory backend — not just its own. Use it as a security layer for OpenClaw, LangChain, or your custom storage.
+### Iron Dome
 
-```javascript
-import { ShieldCortexGuardedMemoryBridge } from 'shieldcortex/integrations/universal';
-import { OpenClawMarkdownBackend } from 'shieldcortex/integrations/openclaw';
-
-const nativeMemory = new OpenClawMarkdownBackend();
-const guarded = new ShieldCortexGuardedMemoryBridge(nativeMemory, {
-  mode: 'balanced',
-  blockOnThreat: true,
-  sourceIdentifier: 'openclaw-memory-bridge'
-});
-
-await guarded.save({
-  title: 'Architecture decision',
-  content: 'Auth service uses PostgreSQL and Redis.'
-});
-// Content scanned through 6-layer pipeline before reaching backend
-```
+Controls what your agent is allowed to *do* — not just what it remembers.
 
-Built-in backends: `MarkdownMemoryBackend`, `OpenClawMarkdownBackend`. Implement the `MemoryBackend` interface for custom storage.
+- **Security profiles** — `enterprise`, `personal`, `paranoid`, `school`
+- **Action gates** — Allow, require approval, or block actions like `send_email`, `delete_file`, `api_call`
+- **PII guard** — Detect and block personally identifiable information in outbound actions
+- **Kill switch** — Emergency shutdown of all agent actions
+- **Full audit trail** — Every action check logged for forensic review
