+ # memctl
45
+
46
+ **A Unix-native memory control plane for LLM orchestration.**
47
+
48
+ One file, one truth. Ingest files, recall with FTS5, pipe into any LLM.
49
+
50
+ ```
51
+ pip install memctl
52
+ memctl init
53
+ memctl push "project architecture" --source src/ | llm "Summarize the architecture"
54
+ echo "The architecture uses event sourcing" | memctl pull --tags arch
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ ---
58
+
59
+ ## Why memctl?
60
+
61
+ LLMs forget everything between turns. memctl gives them persistent, structured, policy-governed memory backed by a single SQLite file.
62
+
63
+ - **Zero dependencies** — stdlib only. No numpy, no torch, no compiled extensions.
64
+ - **One file** — Everything in `memory.db` (SQLite + FTS5 + WAL).
65
+ - **Unix composable** — `push` writes to stdout, `pull` reads from stdin. Pipe freely.
66
+ - **Policy-governed** — 30 detection patterns block secrets, injection, and instructional content before storage.
67
+ - **Content-addressed** — SHA-256 dedup ensures idempotent ingestion.
68
+ - **Forward-compatible** — Identical schema to [RAGIX](https://github.com/ovitrac/RAGIX). Upgrade seamlessly.
69
+

71
+
72
+ ## Installation
73
+
74
+ ```bash
75
+ pip install memctl
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ For Office/ODF document ingestion (.docx, .odt, .pptx, .odp, .xlsx, .ods):
79
+
80
+ ```bash
81
+ pip install memctl[docs]
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ For MCP server support (Claude Code / Claude Desktop):
85
+
86
+ ```bash
87
+ pip install memctl[mcp]
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ For everything:
91
+
92
+ ```bash
93
+ pip install memctl[all]
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ **Requirements:** Python 3.10+ (3.12 recommended). No compiled dependencies for core.
97
+ PDF extraction requires `pdftotext` from poppler-utils (`sudo apt install poppler-utils` or `brew install poppler`).
98
+
99
+ ---
100
+
101
+ ## Quickstart
102
+
103
+ ### 1. Initialize a memory workspace
104
+
105
+ ```bash
106
+ memctl init
107
+ # Creates .memory/memory.db, .memory/config.yaml, .memory/.gitignore
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ Set the environment variable for convenience:
111
+
112
+ ```bash
113
+ eval $(memctl init)
114
+ # Sets MEMCTL_DB=.memory/memory.db
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ ### 2. Ingest files and recall
118
+
119
+ ```bash
120
+ # Ingest source files + recall matching items → injection block on stdout
121
+ memctl push "authentication flow" --source src/auth/
122
+
123
+ # Ingest Office documents (requires memctl[docs])
124
+ memctl push "project status" --source reports/*.docx slides/*.pptx
125
+
126
+ # Ingest PDFs (requires pdftotext)
127
+ memctl push "specifications" --source specs/*.pdf
128
+
129
+ # Recall only (no ingestion)
130
+ memctl push "database schema"
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ ### 3. Store LLM output
134
+
135
+ ```bash
136
+ # Pipe LLM output into memory
137
+ echo "We chose JWT for stateless auth" | memctl pull --tags auth,decision --title "Auth decision"
138
+
139
+ # Or pipe from any LLM CLI
140
+ memctl push "API design" | llm "Analyze this" | memctl pull --tags api
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ ### 4. Search
144
+
145
+ ```bash
146
+ # Human-readable
147
+ memctl search "authentication"
148
+
149
+ # JSON for scripts
150
+ memctl search "database" --json -k 5
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ ### 5. Inspect and manage
154
+
155
+ ```bash
156
+ memctl show MEM-abc123def456 # Show item details
157
+ memctl stats # Store metrics
158
+ memctl stats --json # Machine-readable stats
159
+ memctl consolidate # Merge similar STM items
160
+ memctl consolidate --dry-run # Preview without writing
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ ---
164
+
165
+ ## CLI Reference
166
+
167
+ ```
168
+ memctl <command> [options]
169
+ ```
170
+
171
+ ### Commands
172
+
173
+ | Command | Description |
174
+ |---------|-------------|
175
+ | `init [PATH]` | Initialize a memory workspace (default: `.memory`) |
176
+ | `push QUERY [--source ...]` | Ingest files + recall matching items to stdout |
177
+ | `pull [--tags T] [--title T]` | Read stdin, store as memory items |
178
+ | `search QUERY [-k N]` | FTS5 full-text search |
179
+ | `show ID` | Display a single memory item |
180
+ | `stats` | Store statistics |
181
+ | `consolidate [--dry-run]` | Deterministic merge of similar STM items |
182
+ | `serve` | Start MCP server (requires `memctl[mcp]`) |
183
+
184
+ ### Global Flags
185
+
186
+ | Flag | Description |
187
+ |------|-------------|
188
+ | `--db PATH` | SQLite database path |
189
+ | `--json` | Machine-readable JSON output |
190
+ | `-q, --quiet` | Suppress stderr progress messages |
191
+ | `-v, --verbose` | Enable debug logging |
192
+
193
+ ### Command Details
194
+
195
+ #### `memctl init`
196
+
197
+ ```bash
198
+ memctl init [PATH] [--force] [--fts-tokenizer fr|en|raw]
199
+ ```
200
+
201
+ Creates the workspace directory, SQLite database with schema, `config.yaml`, and `.gitignore`. Prints `export MEMCTL_DB="..."` to stdout for eval.
202
+
203
+ Idempotent: running twice on the same path exits 0 without error.
204
+
205
+ #### `memctl push`
206
+
207
+ ```bash
208
+ memctl push QUERY [--source FILE ...] [--budget N] [--tier TIER] [--tags T] [--scope S]
209
+ ```
210
+
211
+ Two-phase command:
212
+ 1. **Ingest** (optional): processes `--source` files with SHA-256 dedup and paragraph chunking.
213
+ 2. **Recall**: FTS5 search for QUERY, format matching items as an injection block on stdout.
214
+
215
+ stdout contains only the injection block (`format_version=1`). Progress goes to stderr.
216
+
217
+ #### `memctl pull`
218
+
219
+ ```bash
220
+ echo "..." | memctl pull [--tags T] [--title T] [--scope S]
221
+ ```
222
+
223
+ Reads text from stdin and stores it as memory items. Attempts structured proposal extraction first; falls back to single-note storage. All content passes through the policy engine before storage.
224
+
225
+ #### `memctl search`
226
+
227
+ ```bash
228
+ memctl search QUERY [--tier TIER] [--type TYPE] [-k N] [--json]
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ FTS5 full-text search. Returns human-readable output by default, or JSON with `--json`.
232
+
233
+ #### `memctl consolidate`
234
+
235
+ ```bash
236
+ memctl consolidate [--scope S] [--dry-run] [--json]
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ Deterministic consolidation: clusters STM items by type + tag overlap (Jaccard), merges each cluster (longest content wins), promotes to MTM. High-usage MTM items promote to LTM. No LLM calls.
240

+
257
+ ## Exit Codes
258
+
259
+ | Code | Meaning |
260

264
+
265
+ ---
266
+
267
+ ## Shell Integration
268
+
269
+ Add to `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or your project's `env.sh`:
270
+
271
+ ```bash
272
+ export MEMCTL_DB=.memory/memory.db
273
+
274
+ # Shortcuts
275
+ meminit() { memctl init "${1:-.memory}"; }
276
+ memq() { memctl push "$1"; } # recall only
277
+ memp() { memctl push "$1" ${2:+--source "$2"}; } # push with optional source
278
+ mempull() { memctl pull --tags "${1:-}" ${2:+--title "$2"}; }
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ ### Pipe Recipes
282
+
283
+ ```bash
284
+ # Ingest docs + recall + feed to LLM + store output
285
+ memctl push "API design" --source docs/ | llm "Summarize" | memctl pull --tags api
286
+
287
+ # Search and pipe to jq
288
+ memctl search "auth" --json | jq '.[].title'
289
+
290
+ # Batch ingest a directory
291
+ memctl push "project overview" --source src/ tests/ docs/ -q
292
+
293
+ # Export all items as JSONL
294
+ memctl search "" --json | jq -c '.[]'
295
+ ```
296
+
297
+ ---
298
+
299
+ ## MCP Server
300
+
301
+ memctl exposes 7 MCP tools for integration with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
302
+
303
+ ### Start the Server
304
+
305
+ ```bash
306
+ memctl serve --db .memory/memory.db
307
+ # or
308
+ python -m memctl.mcp.server --db .memory/memory.db
309
+ ```
310
+
311
+ ### Claude Code Integration
312
+
313
+ Add to `.claude/settings.json`:
314
+
315
+ ```json
316
+ {
317
+ "mcpServers": {
318
+ "memctl": {
319
+ "command": "memctl",
320
+ "args": ["serve", "--db", ".memory/memory.db"]
321
+ }
322
+ }
323
+ }
324
+ ```
325
+
326
+ ### MCP Tools
327
+
328
+ | Tool | Description |
329
+ |------|-------------|
330
+ | `memory_recall` | Token-budgeted context injection (primary tool) |
331
+ | `memory_search` | Interactive FTS5 discovery |
332
+ | `memory_propose` | Store findings with policy governance |
333
+ | `memory_write` | Direct write (privileged/dev operations) |
334
+ | `memory_read` | Read items by ID |
335
+ | `memory_stats` | Store metrics |
336
+ | `memory_consolidate` | Trigger deterministic merge |
337
+
338
+ Tool names use the `memory_*` prefix for drop-in compatibility with RAGIX.
339
+

361
+ ```
362
+
363
+ 14 source files. ~4,800 lines. Zero compiled dependencies for core.
364
+
365
+ ### Memory Tiers
366
+
367
+ | Tier | Purpose | Lifecycle |
368
+ |------|---------|-----------|
369
+ | **STM** (Short-Term) | Recent observations, unverified facts | Created by `pull`. Consolidated or expired. |
370
+ | **MTM** (Medium-Term) | Verified, consolidated knowledge | Created by `consolidate`. Promoted by usage. |
371
+ | **LTM** (Long-Term) | Stable decisions, definitions, constraints | Promoted from MTM by usage count or type. |
372
+
373
+ ### Policy Engine
374
+
375
+ Every write path passes through the policy engine. No exceptions.
376
+
377
+ **Hard blocks** (rejected):
378
+ - 10 secret detection patterns (API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, JWTs)
379
+ - 8 injection patterns (prompt override, system prompt fragments)
380
+ - 8 instructional block patterns (tool invocation syntax, role fragments)
381
+ - Oversized content (>2000 chars for non-pointer types)
382
+
383
+ **Soft blocks** (quarantined to STM with expiry):
384
+ - 4 instructional quarantine patterns (imperative self-instructions)
385
+ - Missing provenance or justification
386
+ - Quarantined items stored with `injectable=False`
387
+
388
+ ### FTS5 Tokenizer Presets
389
+
390
+ | Preset | Tokenizer | Use Case |
391
+ |--------|-----------|----------|
392
+ | `fr` | `unicode61 remove_diacritics 2` | French-safe default (accent normalization) |
393
+ | `en` | `porter unicode61 remove_diacritics 2` | English with Porter stemming |
394
+ | `raw` | `unicode61` | No diacritics removal, no stemming |
395
+
396
+ Expert override: `memctl init --fts-tokenizer "porter unicode61 remove_diacritics 2"`
397
+
398
+ ### Supported Formats
399
+
400
+ | Category | Extensions | Requirement |
401
+ |----------|-----------|-------------|
402
+ | Text / Markup | `.md` `.txt` `.rst` `.csv` `.tsv` `.html` `.xml` `.json` `.yaml` `.toml` | None (stdlib) |
403
+ | Source Code | `.py` `.js` `.ts` `.jsx` `.tsx` `.java` `.go` `.rs` `.c` `.cpp` `.sh` `.sql` `.css` … | None (stdlib) |
404
+ | Office Documents | `.docx` `.odt` | `pip install memctl[docs]` |
405
+ | Presentations | `.pptx` `.odp` | `pip install memctl[docs]` |
406
+ | Spreadsheets | `.xlsx` `.ods` | `pip install memctl[docs]` |
407
+ | PDF | `.pdf` | `pdftotext` (poppler-utils) |
408
+
409
+ All formats are extracted to plain text before chunking and ingestion. Binary format libraries are lazy-imported — a missing library produces a clear `ImportError` with install instructions.
410
+
411
+ ### Content Addressing
412
+
413
+ Every ingested file is hashed (SHA-256). Re-ingesting the same file is a no-op. Every memory item stores a `content_hash` for deduplication.
414
+
415
+ ### Consolidation
416
+
417
+ Deterministic, no-LLM merge pipeline:
418
+
419
+ 1. Collect non-archived STM items
420
+ 2. Cluster by type + tag overlap (Jaccard similarity)
421
+ 3. Merge each cluster: longest content wins; tie-break by earliest `created_at`, then lexicographic ID
422
+ 4. Write merged items at MTM tier + `supersedes` links
423
+ 5. Archive originals (`archived=True`)
424
+ 6. Promote high-usage MTM items to LTM
425
+
426
+ ---
427
+
428
+ ## Database Schema
429
+
430
+ Single SQLite file with WAL mode. 9 tables + 1 FTS5 virtual table:
431
+
432
+ | Table | Purpose |
433
+ |-------|---------|
434
+ | `memory_items` | Core memory items (22 columns) |
435
+ | `memory_revisions` | Immutable revision history |
436
+ | `memory_events` | Audit log (every read/write/consolidate) |
437
+ | `memory_links` | Directional relationships (supersedes, supports, etc.) |
438
+ | `memory_embeddings` | Reserved for RAGIX (empty in memctl) |
439
+ | `corpus_hashes` | SHA-256 file dedup registry |
440
+ | `corpus_metadata` | Corpus-level metadata |
441
+ | `schema_meta` | Schema version, creation info |
442
+ | `memory_palace_locations` | Reserved for RAGIX |
443
+ | `memory_items_fts` | FTS5 virtual table for full-text search |
444
+
445
+ Schema version is tracked in `schema_meta`. Current: `SCHEMA_VERSION=1`.
446
+
447
+ ---
448
+
449
+ ## Migration to RAGIX
450
+
451
+ memctl is extracted from [RAGIX](https://github.com/ovitrac/RAGIX) and maintains schema-identical databases. To upgrade:
452
+
453
+ ```bash
