3
+ ## Unreleased
4
+
5
+ - Distribution packaging (no code changes): Claude Code plugin
6
+ (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` + `hooks/hooks.json` + single-plugin
7
+ marketplace), MCP Registry manifest (`server.json`,
8
+ `io.github.liza-studio/skillmem`), and the publishing runbook
9
+ `docs/PUBLISHING.md` (PyPI → MCP Registry → plugin).
10
+
11
+ ## 0.9.0 — first public release
12
+
13
+ Self-improving skills for Claude Code, extracted from an internal agent-memory
14
+ project and released under Apache-2.0.
15
+
16
+ - Skill learning loop: `mem_learn` / `mem_recall` / `mem_reinforce` with an
17
+ Ebbinghaus strength model, scheduled decay, and an active → stale → archived
18
+ lifecycle (archived skills are snapshotted to JSONL, never deleted).
19
+ - Hybrid local search: FTS5 BM25 with Snowball stemming (English + Russian)
20
+ fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion with optional local ONNX embeddings
21
+ (`fastembed`, multilingual, cross-lingual RU↔EN). No cloud, no API keys.
22
+ - MCP stdio server with 8 tools (`mem_search`, `mem_get`, `mem_list`,
23
+ `mem_write`, `mem_update`, `mem_learn`, `mem_recall`, `mem_reinforce`).
24
+ - 6 Claude Code hooks: mcp-guard, briefing inject, session-history,
25
+ verify-gate (bilingual triggers), auto-recall, tool-recall — plus a Stop-time
26
+ session recap and auto-migration of session notes.
27
+ - Tamper-evident SHA256 hash-chain over the edit history (`skillmem verify`).
28
+ - Secret scrubbing on every write (API keys, PEM blocks, JWTs, tokens,
29
+ password assignments).
30
+ - Provenance guarantees: unique slugs, refusal of silent overwrites,
31
+ near-duplicate detection, reasons required for updates and deletes.
32
+ - Markdown round-trip: `export-all` / `import-vault` — your data stays plain
33
+ markdown with YAML frontmatter.
34
+ - Cross-platform installers (`install.sh`, `install.ps1`) and scheduled
35
+ maintenance via launchd / schtasks / cron (`skillmem schedule`).
36
+ - Optional multi-agent HTTP server with bearer tokens and per-agent
37
+ visibility scoping (`skillmem serve`).

39
+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
45

79
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
82
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
83
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work

+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+ meet the following conditions:

95
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96
+
97
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ **Self-improving skills for Claude Code — your agent learns, recalls, reinforces, and forgets.**
43
+
44
+ skillmem gives Claude Code a local, persistent skill & memory layer. After every non-trivial task the agent can record *how it was done* as a skill; before the next task it recalls the relevant ones; skills that keep proving useful get stronger, and skills nobody uses fade away — the way human memory works.
45
+
46
+ - **$0 per write and per read** — no LLM calls, no cloud, no API keys. Plain SQLite on your disk.
47
+ - **Bilingual hybrid search, fully local** — FTS5 BM25 + Snowball stemming (EN/RU) + a multilingual ONNX embedding model. A Russian query finds an English skill and vice versa, all on CPU, offline.
48
+ - **Ebbinghaus strength model** — `reinforce` bumps a skill's strength, scheduled decay fades unused ones, lifecycle sweeps move dead skills to a backed-up archive (never deleted).
49
+ - **Tamper-evident history** — every edit is appended to a SHA256 hash-chain; `skillmem verify` detects any after-the-fact tampering.
50
+ - **Deep Claude Code integration** — 6 hooks + 8 MCP tools installed with one command.
51
+ - **Cross-platform** — macOS (launchd), Windows (schtasks), Linux (systemd user timers, cron fallback).
52
+ - **No vendor lock** — `export-all` dumps everything to plain markdown with YAML frontmatter; re-importing the dump yields the same records.
53
+
54
+ ## Why
55
+
56
+ Agents repeat their mistakes because each session starts from zero. Existing "memory" tools store facts; skillmem stores *procedures* — trigger, steps, outcome, lessons — and ranks them by how often they actually helped. The write path costs nothing, so the agent can afford to learn from every task.
57
+
58
+ ## Quickstart
59
+
60
+ macOS / Linux:
61
+
62
+ ```bash
63
+ bash install.sh # installs python + uv if needed, venv, symlinks
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ Windows (PowerShell):
67
+
68
+ ```powershell
69
+ powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Or from a checkout:
73
+
74
+ ```bash
75
+ uv venv && uv pip install -e '.[semantic]'
76
+ source .venv/bin/activate # or prefix the commands below with `uv run`
77
+ skillmem init --claude-code # wires MCP server + hooks into Claude Code
78
+ skillmem doctor # health check: DB, schema, semantic status
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ `init --claude-code` registers the MCP server in `~/.claude.json` and the hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` (idempotent, with backups). Use `--hooks minimal` for just the Stop→migrate hook, or `--hooks none` for MCP only.
82
+
83
+ ### Claude Code plugin & MCP Registry (coming soon)
84
+
85
+ The repo already carries a Claude Code plugin (`.claude-plugin/` + `hooks/hooks.json` — MCP server and all hooks in one install) and an MCP Registry manifest (`server.json`). Both go live once the `skillmem` package is published on PyPI; until then, use the installers above. Once live:
86
+
87
+ ```
88
+ /plugin marketplace add liza-studio/skillmem
89
+ /plugin install skillmem@liza-studio
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ The plugin requires the skillmem Python package on PATH and replaces `skillmem init --claude-code`'s wiring — use one or the other, not both (see [docs/PUBLISHING.md](docs/PUBLISHING.md)).
93
+
94
+ ## How it works
95
+
96
+ ```
97
+ learn ──▶ recall ──▶ reinforce ──▶ decay
98
+ │ │ │ │
99
+ │ │ │ └─ daily job: unused skills lose strength;
100
+ │ │ │ fully faded ones are archived (backed up)
101
+ │ │ └─ strength +0.15 when a skill proves useful
102
+ │ └─ hybrid BM25 + vector search, strength-weighted ranking
103
+ └─ after a hard task: trigger / steps / outcome / lessons
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ 1. **learn** — after a task that took real debugging, the agent calls `mem_learn` with a slug, trigger, steps, outcome, and lessons.
107
+ 2. **recall** — before the next task, `mem_recall` (or the automatic hooks) surfaces the most relevant skills, fusing lexical and semantic signals via Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
108
+ 3. **reinforce** — when a recalled skill helped, `mem_reinforce` bumps its strength, so proven skills rank higher next time.
109
+ 4. **decay** — a scheduled `skillmem decay` run applies Ebbinghaus-style forgetting; skills untouched for months drift to `stale`, then to an `archived` state (excluded from recall, restorable with one command, snapshotted to JSONL first).

111
+ ## MCP tools
112
+
113
+ | Tool | What it does |
114
+ | --- | --- |
115
+ | `mem_search` | Hybrid full-text search (FTS5 BM25 + optional vector recall) over all memories |
116
+ | `mem_get` | Fetch one memory by slug, with history and wikilinks |
117
+ | `mem_list` | List memories by kind/project, most recent first |
118
+ | `mem_write` | Insert a new memory; refuses silent overwrites and near-duplicates |
119
+ | `mem_update` | Update an existing memory; old version is kept in the hash-chained history |
120
+ | `mem_learn` | Record an after-action skill (trigger / steps / outcome / lessons) |
121
+ | `mem_recall` | Find relevant skills for a task, strength-weighted; auto-reinforces |
122
+ | `mem_reinforce` | Explicitly bump a skill's strength after it proved useful |
123
+
124
+ ## Hooks
125
+
126
+ | Event | Hook | What it injects |
127
+ | --- | --- | --- |
128
+ | SessionStart | `mcp-guard` | Warns when configured MCP servers are missing vs a baseline |
129
+ | SessionStart | `inject` | Compact title-only briefing of your `user`/`feedback` memories |
130
+ | SessionStart | `session-history` | Recaps of the last 3 sessions in this project |
131
+ | UserPromptSubmit | `verify-gate` | "Search before you claim" reminder on time-sensitive prompts (bilingual EN/RU triggers) |
132
+ | UserPromptSubmit | `auto-recall` | Relevant feedback + skills matched against the prompt |
133
+ | PreToolUse | `tool-recall` | Skills/warnings matched against the Bash command or edited file path |
134
+ | Stop | `session-recap` | Distills the session into a markdown note via `claude -p` (recap language mirrors the session) |
135
+ | Stop | `migrate` | Indexes new session notes into the database |
136
+
137
+ All hooks are best-effort: a broken database or missing model never blocks Claude Code.
138
+
139
+ ## CLI highlights
140
+
141
+ ```bash
142
+ skillmem learn skill-x -t "..." --trigger "..." --steps "..." --outcome success
143
+ skillmem recall "deploy the bot to prod"
144
+ skillmem skills # list skills with strength bars
145
+ skillmem decay --days 14 # manual decay + lifecycle sweep
146
+ skillmem search "hash chain" --kind feedback
147
+ skillmem verify --strict # check the tamper-evidence chain
148
+ skillmem export-all ./vault # markdown round-trip, no lock-in
149
+ skillmem import-vault ~/Obsidian/Notes
150
+ skillmem schedule install # decay daily 04:15, export weekly Sun 04:30
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ ## Uninstall
154
+
155
+ ```bash
156
+ skillmem uninstall # removes MCP entry, hooks, scheduled jobs; keeps the DB
157
+ skillmem uninstall --purge-db # ...and deletes the database
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ Config edits are made atomically with timestamped backups, and corrupt JSON is never overwritten.
161
+
162
+ ## Benchmarks
163
+
164
+ Retrieval quality on [LongMemEval](https://github.com/xiaowu0162/LongMemEval) (Wu et al., ICLR 2025), full oracle set, **hybrid retrieval** (FTS5 BM25 + Snowball stemming + `paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2` embeddings, RRF fusion), k=5, CPU only:
165
+
166
+ | Question type | n | hit@5 | MRR |
167
+ |---|---|---|---|
168
+ | **Overall** | **479** | **0.871** | **0.622** |
169
+ | single-session-assistant | 56 | 0.982 | 0.746 |
170
+ | knowledge-update | 72 | 0.944 | 0.676 |
171
+ | single-session-user | 64 | 0.938 | 0.719 |
172
+ | multi-session | 125 | 0.848 | 0.568 |
173
+ | single-session-preference | 30 | 0.833 | 0.465 |
174
+ | temporal-reasoning | 132 | 0.780 | 0.579 |
175
+
176
+ Median 0.76 s per query on a laptop CPU, no LLM calls, no network. The pipeline is deterministic: repeated runs produce identical numbers. Reproduce with `python bench/longmemeval.py --sample 0 -k 5` (see [bench/README.md](bench/README.md) for the oracle file and reporting rules — we don't publish bare percentages without stating the retrieval mode and embedding model, and we encourage other tools to do the same).
