What it is

Local-first shared memory layer for AI coding agents across MCP clients, Git history, reasoning context, and project sessions.
— the description by AVIDS2

Summary from the brain’s metadata

Local-first shared memory layer for AI coding agents across MCP clients, Git history, reasoning context, and project sessions. One project memory system for Claude Code, Codex, CodeBuddy Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Grok Build, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Oh-my-Pi, Pi, Kiro, Antigravity, Trae, DeepSeek Harness, WorkBuddy, and any MCP-capable agent.

How it works

Memory model: Hybrid

AutoGineer overview, from the brain’s own files

Memory model: Hybrid. Folders: .github (agent config, 3 files); .windsurf (agent config, 2 files); assets (attachments, 32 files); docs (docs, 65 files); examples (examples, 4 files); packages (source code, 836 files); scripts (scripts, 18 files); src (source code, 382 files). The agent writes CLAUDE.md.

Memorix gives the AI coding agents you already use a shared, searchable project memory that survives new chats, IDE switches, terminal sessions, and handoffs. The memory lives under the Git project, not inside one chat window or one tool.

Use Claude Code today, Codex tomorrow, and Cursor in the afternoon. The agent can change; the project memory stays the same.

Use Memorix when you keep re-explaining the same project to a new agent session: the last session already figured something out, another IDE cannot see it, or a design decision is buried in a chat you cannot find anymore.

ProblemWhat Memorix adds
The next session forgets what the last session learnedProject-scoped memory, session summaries, timelines, and detail retrieval
Different agents know different thingsOne local memory pool available through MCP, hooks, CLI, SDK, and the bundled terminal agent
Git records what changed, but agents cannot recall it wellGit Memory turns commits into searchable engineering facts
Architecture decisions disappear into old chatsReasoning Memory stores why choices were made, with alternatives and trade-offs
Static rule files driftGotchas, fixes, and project skills evolve from real work
Parallel agent work gets messymemorix orchestrate coordinates task context, handoffs, locks, verification, and review loops

Memorix is local-first. SQLite is the canonical store. Small projects use the in-process Orama path; larger projects use a persistent SQLite FTS5 candidate index and, when available, an optional local LanceDB semantic shadow index. Both indexes are rebuildable and are never a limit on how many durable memories you can keep. LLM-backed formation and embedding remain optional.

Capabilities

Memorix is more than a memory store. It also installs agent integrations, keeps useful work events, turns commits into project facts, exposes a local control plane, and can coordinate multi-agent work when a task needs it.

Memorix connects through the interfaces each agent already supports: plugin packages, MCP, project rules, hooks, skills, or the bundled terminal agent. memorix setup chooses the right setup for each agent and keeps stdio MCP as the default transport.

See Integration Surfaces for the current support matrix and what each generated file means.

Use the same setup command without --global only when you intentionally want repo-local guidance, rules, or hooks in the current Git project.

CLI, MCP, and HTTP are different entry points:

  • memorix CLI is the direct command surface for setup, memory search/store, Git Memory, import/export, dashboard, orchestration, diagnostics, and automation.

  • memorix serve is the stdio MCP bridge used by IDEs and coding agents. Its default tool profile is micro, so agents see only the compact core tool set.

  • memorix background start / memorix serve-http run the HTTP service for a shared endpoint, dashboard, VPS Docker deployment, or multiple clients.

Multi-device store sync is opt-in and separate from HTTP sharing. It never uploads the live SQLite database or WAL files. By default it only relays qualified project-visible observations for the current Git project; personal, agent-targeted, candidate, and ephemeral records stay local. Pass --scope user to include every local project. Set MEMORIX_SYNC_PROVIDER and inspect memorix sync store status --json before the first push.

<h2 id="install"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="assets/tags/light/section-install.svg"><img src="assets/tags/section-install.svg" alt="Install" height="32" /></picture></h2>

Requirements:

  • Node.js >=22.18.0

  • Git, because project identity is derived from the real Git root

Install and initialize:

npm install -g memorix
memorix init --global                   # optional defaults
memorix setup --agent claude --global   # or codex, copilot, cursor, pi, gemini-cli, opencode,
                                       # codebuddy, windsurf, kiro, antigravity, trae, openclaw, hermes, omp

memorix init is optional. It creates or updates TOML configuration:

  • ~/.memorix/config.toml for global defaults

  • <git-root>/memorix.toml for optional project overrides

Legacy memorix.yml, .env, and ~/.memorix/config.json are still read for compatibility, but new setup flows use TOML.

If you want repo-local guidance or hooks for a specific repository, run the same setup command from inside that repo without --global. Codex is the exception: its supported path is the user-level plugin install, so Memorix leaves project .codex configuration alone.

<h2 id="quick-start"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="assets/tags/light/section-quick-start.svg"><img src="assets/tags/section-quick-start.svg" alt="Quick Start" height="32" /></picture></h2>

Connect an existing agent

Use the setup command first. The global form is the normal one-time install:

memorix setup --agent claude --global
memorix setup --agent codex --global
memorix setup --agent copilot --global
memorix setup --agent cursor --global
memorix setup --agent pi --global
memorix setup --agent gemini-cli --global
memorix setup --agent opencode --global
memorix setup --agent windsurf --global
memorix setup --agent kiro --global
memorix setup --agent antigravity --global
memorix setup --agent trae --global
memorix setup --agent openclaw --global
memorix setup --agent hermes --global
memorix setup --agent codebuddy --global
memorix setup --agent omp --global
memorix setup --agent dsh --global
memorix setup --agent workbuddy --global
memorix setup --agent grok --global

What it installs depends on the target agent, but the goal is the same: make Memorix available wherever you open that agent without asking you to wire every repo by hand.

  • Claude Code: installs the Memorix plugin package, adds CLAUDE.md guidance, and enables hook capture when you do not pass --noHooks.

  • Codex: installs one user-level Memorix plugin with bundled stdio MCP, skills, and lifecycle hooks. It does not write project-local .codex config or change your model, approval, or sandbox settings. When Codex asks, review the plugin hook definition once with /hooks; --noHooks skips automatic capture.

  • GitHub Copilot CLI: installs the Copilot plugin package and official Memorix skills.

  • Pi: installs the Pi extension/skills package and native MCP config (Pi 1.0+): ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json with --global, or .pi/mcp.json for project setup.

  • Cursor: writes Cursor MCP/rules/config entries in the chosen scope.

  • Gemini CLI: installs the extension package, GEMINI.md context, hooks, and skills. Antigravity CLI has an official Gemini CLI migration path, but Gemini CLI remains an active standalone target.

  • OpenCode: installs the local plugin file, opencode.json, skills, and AGENTS.md guidance.

  • Windsurf, Kiro, Trae: write the MCP/rules/hooks files the target supports.

  • Antigravity: installs the official plugin package with plugin.json, mcp_config.json, hooks.json, rules, and skills under ~/.gemini/config/plugins/memorix or .agents/plugins/memorix.

  • OpenClaw: installs an OpenClaw-compatible bundle with .mcp.json, official skills, and an OpenClaw HOOK.md/handler.ts hook pack.

  • Hermes Agent: installs into Hermes home (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on native Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere, or HERMES_HOME), enables the plugin in config.yaml, registers plugin hooks, slash/CLI commands, skills, and writes MCP config.

  • CodeBuddy Code: installs a user-scope local marketplace plugin under ~/.codebuddy/memorix-local with MCP, skills, and hooks. It does not change existing CodeBuddy model, permission, or settings files; CodeBuddy keeps third-party hook approval in its own /hooks flow.

  • Oh-my-Pi: installs an omp.extensions package with extension hook events, a memorix command, official skills, and writes MCP config.

  • DeepSeek Harness: writes a Memorix @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client row into $DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml (default ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml), appends guidance to the harness AGENTS.md, and installs official skills under $DSH_HOME/skills. The row follows DSH's own shipped Memorix reference, so tools appear as mcp__memorix__*.

  • WorkBuddy: writes a Memorix MCP server row into ~/.workbuddy/mcp.json (or <project>/.workbuddy/mcp.json for project installs) and appends guidance to AGENTS.md. Tools appear as mcp__memorix__*; there is no hooks surface.

  • Grok Build: installs native lifecycle hooks under ~/.grok/hooks/memorix.json and guidance in ~/.grok/AGENTS.md. MCP stays host-owned by default; pass --mcp http to write [mcp_servers.memorix] with url = "http://localhost:3211/mcp". Project-local hooks require Grok /hooks-trust, while global hooks are trusted. Set GROK_HOME to use a custom Grok home.

Need a quieter install? Add --noHooks for targets where setup can control hook capture separately from the host's official package entry. It keeps MCP and guidance, but skips Memorix hook capture.

If you intentionally want repo-local guidance or hooks, run the same command inside that repository without --global.

If your agent only needs a manual MCP entry, use stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memorix": {
      "command": "memorix",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

For an npm-based MCP client or registry tester, use the complete command npx -y memorix serve. The serve argument matters: memorix without arguments opens the bundled memcode terminal agent when run by a human, while MCP clients should start the stdio server explicitly.

For a manually managed Claude Code entry, add "alwaysLoad": true inside the memorix server object. This lets Claude Code expose Memorix tools during print-mode startup; memorix doctor agents --agent claude can detect and repair a missing setting.

HTTP is not required for normal setup. Use it only when you intentionally want a shared background service, dashboard, VPS Docker deployment, or multiple clients using the same endpoint. Local development uses the Node service directly and does not require Docker:

memorix background start

Then point the client at:

http://localhost:3211/mcp

In HTTP mode, agents should bind the active repo explicitly with memorix_session_start(projectRoot=...) when the client can provide the workspace path. Git remains the final source of truth for project identity.

Uninstall

Preview what will be removed:

memorix uninstall --dry-run

Stop the background service and remove hooks:

memorix uninstall --background --hooks

Full cleanup:

memorix uninstall --yes --background --hooks --purge-data
npm uninstall -g memorix

memorix uninstall reports MCP config entries for manual cleanup instead of silently editing every MCP file it finds.

The CLI is direct and does not depend on an MCP session. It binds to the current Git project, or to the project supplied with --cwd. Without an active identity it reads, writes, and exports project-visible memory only. Use memorix identity join or memorix identity use --agent-id <id> only when you intentionally need personal/team memory or coordinated task actions; memorix identity clear returns the terminal to project scope. --as <active-agent-id> is the one-command alternative for scripts. Both camelCase and kebab-case flags are accepted.

Manage controlled media

Media is opt-in. An explicit local import is copied into Memorix's local data directory, hashed, and kept outside the Git worktree. It becomes normal memory only when you attach it. Memorix never captures every screenshot or tool output. An asset may be up to the configured media limit (100 MiB by default). Automatic vision analysis is deliberately capped at 20 MiB; a larger image is still kept and can be attached, but Memorix records a clear text fallback instead of sending an oversized payload to a model provider.

memorix media import --path ./architecture.png --json
memorix media attach --asset <asset-id> --title "Architecture diagram" --json
memorix media list --kind image --json
memorix media show --asset <asset-id> --json
memorix media remove --asset <asset-id> --force --json

# Controlled derivations: explicit, bounded, and attachable to memory.
memorix media derive-pdf --asset <asset-id> --attach --json
memorix media derive-audio --asset <asset-id> --attach --json

# Legacy image analysis now uses the same controlled asset lifecycle.
memorix ingest image --path ./architecture.png --json

MiniMax image generation is a deliberate CLI operation. Video generation returns a durable job immediately; inspect or cancel that job rather than waiting in an agent request.

# Configure MINIMAX_API_KEY in your user environment or .env, never in Git.
memorix media generate image --prompt "A clean system architecture diagram" --json
# Image-to-image with a reference image (MiniMax image-01 / image-01-live):
memorix media generate image --prompt "Keep the subject, change the background" --image ./reference.png --json
memorix media generate video --prompt "A short product walkthrough" --json
memorix media status --job <media-job-id> --json
memorix media cancel --job <media-job-id> --json

memorix_media is the compact MCP companion in every profile, including micro. It supports import, attach, list, show, PDF/audio derivations, generation, and job status. MCP image and video generation are disabled by default because they may incur provider costs. Set MEMORIX_MCP_MEDIA_GENERATION=1 only after you deliberately want an agent to request billed MiniMax output. The normal OpenRouter text embedding lane is still text-only; media vectors are created only by a provider that explicitly declares support for that modality. Text descriptions and attachments remain a useful ordinary retrieval fallback.

LayerStoresBest for
Observation Memoryfacts, gotchas, fixes, implementation notes"How does this work?"
Reasoning Memoryrationale, alternatives, constraints, risks"Why did we choose this?"
Git Memorycommit-derived engineering facts"What changed and where?"
Code Memoryfiles, symbols, import edges, and memory-to-code freshness"Which current code should I inspect first?"
Curated Long-term Memoryreviewed episodic events, stable facts, or reusable procedures with evidence"What should this agent still know or do later?"
Compact Continuityrecent host-native compact summaries or lifecycle markers"What survived the last context compaction?"

Search is project-scoped by default. scope="global" searches across projects. The search boosts Git Memory for "what changed" questions and reasoning records for "why" questions.

Long-term memory is deliberately not an automatic dump of every note. A source observation, Claim, workflow, session, and code snapshot keep their existing roles. An agent may ask memorix_store to create an additional long-term record; an explicit request auto-qualifies and enters task briefs as a durable anchor, while hook-captured or Git-derived candidates stay pending until qualified. Approval stays an explicit operator review. Use memorix memory long-term approve|archive|supersede to record the evidence-backed lifecycle. Only a manually created or user-confirmed user + portable item may be considered in another local project; project code, Git facts, tests, workflows, sessions, and observations cannot be promoted into portable user memory.

memorix context "..." is the default Memory Autopilot entry. It builds a compact task-lensed brief for agents: bugfix tasks lean toward tests and repros, release tasks lean toward package/changelog/build checks, onboarding tasks lean toward docs and entry points, and stale or unrelated memories stay in warning lanes instead of flooding the prompt. Use --fallback --brief-json when MCP is unavailable and a CLI fallback needs the same bounded brief plus a receipt of what was selected or omitted; --json remains the detailed diagnostic form. A normal new task does not receive an old-session dump. For an explicit continuation, memorix resume "..." adds only the latest useful session summary, up to three readable durable anchors, and at most one recent source-labelled host compact checkpoint. A durable anchor carries a durable:<id> reference, so an agent can expand the full reviewed record through memorix_detail only when needed. Keyword matches stay primary; when no reviewed durable item matches and an embedding provider is configured, Memorix makes one 1.8-second, no-retry semantic fallback for paraphrases or cross-language tasks. A slow or unavailable provider simply leaves the normal keyword-only Workset intact. A checkpoint is lifecycle evidence, not durable memory or a transcript backup. Agents should read the suggested files before trusting stored memory.

memorix serve defaults to --mode micro (9 tools) to keep MCP tool schemas small for agents. memorix setup writes --mode lite (21 tools) into the installed MCP config so the normal memory, continuity, and session surface is reachable. Use --mode team (29 tools) for coordination tools, or --mode full (48 tools) for advanced and compatibility tools such as checkpoint inspection.

Shortcuts and aliases: memorix search / remember / recent are direct query shortcuts, bg/bs start the background service, hook runs the hook launcher, and memorix config get|path|migrate inspects or migrates config files.

memorix orchestrate uses the current checkout for single-worker runs. When running multiple workers, it creates task worktrees under .worktrees/ and merges successful task branches back. Use --isolated to force worktree isolation for one worker, --no-worktree to disable it, --allow-dirty to run with uncommitted changes, and --no-auto-merge to preserve task worktrees for manual review.

Minimal ~/.memorix/config.toml:

[agent]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o"
api_key = "..."

[memory.llm]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o-mini"
api_key = "..."

[embedding]
provider = "auto"

[memory]
inject = "minimal"
formation = "active"

Use [memory.llm] and [embedding] for Memorix memory quality and retrieval. Use [agent] for the model memcode talks to while coding. Keep credentials in global config or environment variables, and do not commit secrets.

For the optional Atlas Cloud memory preset, run memorix init and choose Atlas Cloud, or set provider = "atlascloud" in [memory.llm]. It uses the OpenAI-compatible https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 endpoint and reads ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY or the explicit MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY.

For OpenRouter embeddings, use provider = "api", base_url = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", and model = "qwen/qwen3-embedding-8b". Memorix accepts OPENROUTER_API_KEY for that embedding endpoint; MEMORIX_EMBEDDING_API_KEY remains the explicit override.

For Requesty, choose Requesty in memorix init or set provider = "requesty" in [memory.llm] (endpoint https://router.requesty.ai/v1, key from REQUESTY_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY). Requesty embeddings use provider = "api", base_url = "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", and model = "openai/text-embedding-3-small" with REQUESTY_API_KEY.

For API Route, choose API Route in memorix init or set provider = "apiroute" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://global.api-route.com/v1 and deepseek-v4.1-flash, with your own API_ROUTE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For Cheaper Inference, choose Cheaper Inference in memorix init or set provider = "cheaperinference" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://api.cheaperinference.com/v1 and gpt-5.4-mini, with your own CHEAPER_INFERENCE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For Runcrate, choose Runcrate in memorix init or set provider = "runcrate" in [memory.llm]. The preset uses https://api.runcrate.ai/v1 and the open-weight deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, with your own RUNCRATE_API_KEY or MEMORIX_LLM_API_KEY. It is opt-in memory LLM processing; embeddings and memcode's model registry are configured separately. See configuration.

For controlled MiniMax media generation, set MINIMAX_API_KEY (global) or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY (China region) in your environment or .env. The media library never stores that key, a signed output URL, or base64 payloads. CLI generation is explicit; MCP generation additionally requires MEMORIX_MCP_MEDIA_GENERATION=1.

Memorix 1.4.2: Evidence-Governed Memory and CodeGraph

Status: implementation complete; release verification recorded in v1.4.2 Branch: codex/1.4.2-evidence-governor Baseline: v1.4.1 Updated: 2026-08-06

One-Sentence Product Contract

Memorix should give an agent the smallest useful set of current, source-backed project knowledge, and should say "do not use memory here" when it cannot justify a useful answer.

This is not a new prompt wrapper or a second knowledge store. It is the policy layer that unifies existing observations, claims, workflows, CodeGraph evidence, Git state, and verification results before they reach an agent.

Why This Release Exists

The product already has much of the necessary foundation:

  • source-backed claims and code-reference freshness;

  • versioned CodeGraph snapshots and bounded Worksets;

  • retention, archive, workflow, and background-maintenance primitives;

  • project context through MCP and CLI.

Those pieces currently answer related questions in different modules. A memory can be relevant but old, source-backed but never verified, or compact but still harmful for the current task. 1.4.2 makes the final decision explicit, consistent, inspectable, and shared by CLI, MCP, hooks, and dashboard surfaces.

Research Constraints

This release follows published findings without overstating what they prove.

  1. Similar retrieved experiences can cause agents to imitate prior outputs, including wrong or misaligned ones. Memory quality and deletion policy are product safety concerns, not cleanup cosmetics.

  2. Long-horizon memory needs indexing, retrieval, reading, temporal updates, and abstention. Retrieval quality alone is not enough.

  3. Dynamic note links and hierarchical storage are useful only when the source, freshness, and revision path remain visible.

  4. Persistent memory is a privacy boundary. Retrieval must preserve scope, visibility, and provenance instead of treating all stored text as promptable.

The primary research references are listed at the end of this document. Recent 2026 preprints may guide investigation but do not become product truth without reproducible local tests.

Terms

TermMeaning
CandidateAny possible context item: observation, claim, workflow, code fact, Git fact, test result, or wiki page.
EvidenceA source that can be checked later: file/symbol hash, CodeGraph snapshot, commit, test/run result, document, or explicit user action.
QualificationThe deterministic check that decides whether a candidate is current enough, visible to this caller, and safe enough to use.
Context planThe bounded answer to: inject nothing, inject a compact card, inject selected evidence, or schedule more work.
Outcome signalA later, auditable fact such as a focused test passing, a claim being corrected, or a memory helping a verified task.
Observation periodThe period after capture before a memory is promoted to trusted reusable knowledge.

Non-Negotiable Invariants

  1. No automatic context dump. Existing memory is not a reason to inject it.

  2. No silent truth rewrite. A model may propose a link, summary, or promotion; it cannot overwrite evidence-backed claims without an auditable transition.

  3. No model-only authority. Test, Git, code, and explicit user signals outrank a generated confidence score.

  4. No new default MCP tool explosion. memorix_project_context remains the primary agent surface. Advanced diagnostics stay grouped and opt-in.

  5. CLI and MCP parity. Both construct the same context plan from the same policy. Hooks only trigger the plan; they do not own a separate policy.

  6. Foreground stays fast. Context assembly may schedule refresh or analysis, but never waits for a corpus scan, remote provider, or LLM synthesis.

  7. Code facts are versioned. A narrative cannot claim that code is current without a matching snapshot or an explicit caution.

  8. Scope is enforced before relevance. Personal, project, team, and public knowledge do not mix merely because embeddings are similar.

The governor is deliberately a pure, deterministic core. Storage adapters and renderers call it; it does not import an MCP server, hook implementation, or UI.

Data Contracts

abstain is a successful result. It means Memorix did not find sufficiently qualified context and recommends normal repository inspection instead.

4. Outcome Signal

  id, candidateId, projectId, kind
  kind                     test-pass | test-fail | verified-reuse |
                           user-pin | user-correction | source-changed |
                           conflict-confirmed | manual-review
  sourceRef, snapshotId, observedAt
  detail                   sanitized, bounded explanation

Outcome signals are append-only audit facts. They update a derived quality state; they do not erase the original memory. A generic manual review is auditable but does not by itself raise quality: verification or an explicit user pin is still required.

Lifecycle Policy

  1. Capture: new observations remain usable as local session material but are labelled probation for durable retrieval.

  2. Qualify: source and scope are checked. Code-bound items are matched to a snapshot; unbound assertions remain lower confidence.

  3. Promote: explicit user pin, review approval, successful verified reuse, or source-backed test/Git evidence can promote a candidate.

  4. Degrade: changed/deleted source, failing verification, contradiction, or a user correction downgrades the derived quality state.

  5. Archive: retention rules continue to govern cleanup, but archive decisions consume this shared state instead of copying their own freshness formula.

  6. Recover: an archived fact can be revisited with its original evidence; archive never means invisible deletion by default.

No score alone can cause destructive deletion. A score can only suggest a review or make a candidate ineligible for automatic injection.

CodeGraph Upgrade

Product Goal

CodeGraph becomes the code evidence service for the governor. It should answer four practical questions quickly:

  1. What files and symbols are relevant to this task now?

  2. What changed since this memory or workflow was formed?

  3. What may be affected if this symbol or file changes?

  4. How complete and trustworthy is that structural answer?

New Capabilities
A. Snapshot Diff

The first 1.4.2 slice adds a hash-only file manifest to each completed snapshot. It can report added, modified, and removed indexed files between two complete snapshots. It stores paths and hashes, never a second copy of source.

Symbol and relation history are not yet retained per snapshot, so this release does not pretend to provide historical symbol/edge diffs. Current graph relations are used only for the bounded impact slice below.

Target shape for later schema evolution:

CodeStateDiff
  fromSnapshotId, toSnapshotId
  added/changed/removed files
  added/changed/removed symbols
  added/changed/removed relations
  completeness delta
  affected observation/claim/workflow references

This must report unknowns from incomplete scans. It is not allowed to label an unscanned path as unchanged.

B. Impact Slice

Given a file or symbol, return a bounded, explainable graph slice:

ImpactSlice
  root references
  inbound and outbound relations
  direct test/config/workflow references when available
  confidence, coverage, traversal limit, and reasons

The first release supports direct edges and a small bounded traversal only. It does not claim whole-program call-graph precision.

Implemented Slice
  • memorix codegraph diff compares the newest two snapshots by default, or accepts explicit --from and --to snapshot ids.

  • memorix codegraph impact --path <relative-source-path> exposes the same bounded current one-hop graph slice to CLI-only agents. It rejects paths that are not in the current index instead of reporting a misleading empty result.

  • A diff is refused when either snapshot is incomplete or predates the manifest schema. The result explains why instead of treating absent data as unchanged.

  • The impact view resolves both file edges and symbol edges to current files, follows only one hop, and caps relation traversal. It is an inspection aid, not a guarantee of complete impact coverage.

  • Lite deterministically resolves local relative import paths, including the Node ESM .js-from-.ts convention. It still does not claim semantic symbol resolution or whole-program call-graph precision.

  • A continuation Workset reports how many stale memory bindings point directly at the changed snapshot files. It does not attribute unrelated old stale memory to the current change.

  • The Workset governor now filters optional claims, workflows, durable memory, and code-bound memory before prompt rendering. Its receipt records the safe disposition and reason without exposing hidden content. In this first slice, task facts, Git state, current code state, and safety cautions remain outside the optional-evidence gate so an abstention never hides current source facts.

Workflow runs now record an append-only pass/fail signal for their selected claims and durable memories. The newest signal is applied only as a delivery qualification: a failed verification degrades optional context instead of silently rewriting or deleting the original record. A later code change can then downgrade the confidence of a memory that says "this is verified" rather than leaving an old green test as permanent proof. File/symbol references on individual test outcomes remain a later extension.

D. Provider Coverage Contract

Every provider returns:

ProviderCoverage
  provider, parserMode, supportedLanguages
  indexedFiles, skippedFiles, skippedReasons
  relationTypes, confidencePolicy
  snapshotCompleteness

CodeGraph Lite remains a mandatory local fallback. Parser-backed or external providers are optional accelerators and may only add normalized facts through this contract. They cannot bypass project scope, source epoch, or secret rules.

E. Claim-to-Code Requalification

Existing claim and observation code references should consume snapshot diffs:

  • removed source -> blocked or needs-review;

  • changed bound source -> degraded until rechecked;

  • current source plus fresh verification -> verified;

  • incomplete provider coverage -> unknown, never falsely current.

Retrieval Policy

The governor collects candidates first, then applies this order:

  1. project identity, scope, visibility, and secret policy;

  2. hard exclusions: deleted evidence, forbidden scope, confirmed contradiction;

  3. source freshness and provider completeness;

  4. task lens and direct code/Git/test links;

  5. quality signals and explicit user review;

  6. relevance ranking and diversity;

  7. strict section and total token budgets.

Default delivery is progressive:

  • abstain: no qualified advantage; return normal start files only;

  • card: one compact "where we were / what changed / what to verify" card;

  • workset: selected details with source references and cautions;

  • defer: schedule a refresh or requalification without blocking the agent.

Public Experience

Normal users still say a natural-language task, for example:

Continue the auth migration. What remains and what must be checked first?

They receive a short, useful answer. They do not see score arithmetic.

An explicit diagnostic path can answer:

Why did Memorix include or skip this memory?
Which code snapshot supports it?
What changed since it was verified?
How much context budget did it consume?

This diagnostic output is grouped under existing context/knowledge diagnostics; it is not a new default tool for every graph operation.

Delivery Phases

Phase 0: Baseline and Compatibility
  • Inventory all existing context ranking, retention, claim, freshness, and CodeGraph paths.

  • Add a behavior matrix covering current output and no-regression fixtures.

  • Establish deterministic context-plan fixtures: abstain, compact card, stale code caution, conflict exclusion, and incomplete graph coverage.

Phase 1: Governor Core
  • Implement candidate adapters and pure qualification/context-plan modules.

  • Route project_context, context_pack, and CLI context/resume through the same plan builder without changing their stable output contracts.

  • Add explicit abstention and reason codes.

Phase 2: Outcome and Lifecycle Unification
  • Add append-only outcome signals and derived candidate quality.

  • Route retention report, HTTP/dashboard status, archive eligibility, and claim requalification through one lifecycle evaluation path.

  • Treat test/Git/source changes as higher-quality signals than model estimates.

Phase 3: CodeGraph Evidence Upgrade
  • Add snapshot diffs, bounded impact slices, coverage reporting, and test/run reference links.

  • Requalify claim/observation references from diffs.

  • Add fixture coverage for changed symbol, removed file, incomplete scan, and uncertain relation handling.

Phase 4: Explainability and Operator UX
  • Add context-plan explanations to CLI JSON and grouped diagnostics.

  • Add dashboard views for quality state, source freshness, impact slice, and exclusion reason without leaking hidden/private evidence.

  • Keep the normal agent path quiet.

Phase 5: Verification and Release Gate
  • Run unit, SQLite reopen, provider fallback, CLI, MCP, hook, and packaged installation checks.

  • Run isolated agent smoke tests with qualified context, stale context, and abstention scenarios.

  • Measure first-turn latency, token usage, stale-context catches, and false inclusion/exclusion rates against Phase 0 fixtures.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. Every automatic inclusion has a machine-readable reason and at least one visible source or explicit unknown caution.

  2. A changed or deleted code source changes the retrieval disposition without a human rediscovering the mismatch.

  3. A task with no qualified memory returns less context, not a generic summary.

  4. CLI, MCP, and hooks select the same qualified evidence for the same task and project state.

  5. An incomplete CodeGraph provider result can never be formatted as complete code truth.

  6. Test failure, user correction, and source change can lower reusable-memory quality; no score-only path deletes a memory.

  7. Existing stored observations, claims, workflows, context commands, and lite MCP profile remain backward compatible.

  8. Default MCP tool count does not increase.

Explicit Non-Goals

  • A remote graph database requirement.

  • Silent LLM rewriting of a project's wiki or workflow.

  • Claiming exact whole-program impact analysis from CodeGraph Lite.

  • Replacing a real language server, CodeGraph product, Git, or test runner.

  • Auto-capturing all conversations, screenshots, or tool outputs.

  • Treating a visual graph as proof of a maintained semantic knowledge graph.

Advantages

  • Local-first: the memory stays in files or a database on your own machine (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Works with 14 MCP clients (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Open licence (Apache-2.0) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)

Limitations

  • Needs an API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_ROUTE_API_KEY, ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Needs a database (LanceDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite) (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files, evidence: README.md)
  • Runs code automatically: review what it runs before you open it (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)
  • No ZIP download: install it from its source (a rule-derived fact from the brain’s files)
