Persona Memory

General memory framework for teammate-style agents.

This skill is framework-first: any specific persona (for example Bertram) should be implemented as a profile by providing personality.md and using the shared memory store.

Current Scope (Experimental)

• Local-first memory store in ~/.ai-memory.
• Personality/profile loading via launcher and appended prompt context.
• Scripted remember/recall/consolidate/session lifecycle hooks.
• Deterministic + live-smoke test harness and curation dashboard.

Not Yet Implemented

• Continuous background memory agents (always-on consolidation/recall loops).
• Autonomous cross-project relationship learning and long-horizon planning.
• Production-stability guarantees or backward-compatibility promises.
• Full interactive Claude session integration testing in CI.

Quick Start

1. Initialize memory store and defaults:

bun ~/.claude/skills/persona-memory/scripts/bootstrap.ts --install-launcher

2. Launch Claude with persona-memory:

claude-persona

3. Optional: set profile per shell/session:

export AI_MEMORY_PROFILE=default

What This Skill Provides

• scripts/launch-claude.sh: Claude launcher wrapper that appends personality.md and recall context.
• scripts/bootstrap.ts: Creates ~/.ai-memory structure and starter files.
• scripts/remember.ts: Writes candidate memory events.
• scripts/recall.ts: Reads memory blocks and returns relevant context.
• scripts/consolidate.ts: Promotes events into stable memory blocks.
• scripts/session-start.ts: Hook-friendly startup memory snapshot.
• scripts/session-end.ts: Hook-friendly sleep-time consolidation.

Runtime Data

Persistent memory root:

• ~/.ai-memory

Profile-based personalities:

• ~/.ai-memory/profiles/<profile>/personality.md

Dev Search Standard

• Prefer rg/rg --files for codebase search and file discovery.
• Use grep only when strict POSIX portability is required.

Hook Setup

• references/hook-setup.md

Add hooks to your ~/.claude/settings.json for session lifecycle automation.
