Session Memory 🧠 v2.0
Persistent memory for AI agents. Save what matters, recall what's relevant, consolidate what you've learned.
v2.0: relevance-scored search, importance levels, session context loader, consolidation, export/import, stats, edit/delete.
Quick Start
# Save a memory (with optional importance)
MEMORY_IMPORTANCE=high ./scripts/save.sh "decision" "Chose Postgres over SQLite for scale"
# Recall with relevance scoring
./scripts/recall.sh "database" --limit 5
# Load session context (startup)
./scripts/context.sh --days 3
# Consolidate by topic
./scripts/consolidate.sh --since 2026-01-01
# Stats
./scripts/stats.sh
Commands
save.sh — Save a Memory
./scripts/save.sh "topic" "content" [tags...]
| Env | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
AGENT_MEMORY_DIR | ~/.agent-memory | Storage directory |
MEMORY_IMPORTANCE | normal | low / normal / high / critical |
# Basic save
./scripts/save.sh "insight" "Users prefer dark mode 3:1" ui design
# High importance
MEMORY_IMPORTANCE=high ./scripts/save.sh "decision" "Migrated to TypeScript" refactor
# Critical (always surfaces in context.sh)
MEMORY_IMPORTANCE=critical ./scripts/save.sh "credential" "API key rotated, new one in vault"
recall.sh — Search Memories
./scripts/recall.sh "query" [--json] [--limit N] [--topic T] [--importance I] [--since YYYY-MM-DD]
Features:
- Multi-keyword AND search — all words must match
- Relevance scoring — based on word match ratio + importance + recency
- Filters — by topic, importance level, date range
./scripts/recall.sh "database migration"
./scripts/recall.sh "API" --topic decision --limit 20
./scripts/recall.sh "deploy" --since 2026-03-01 --json
./scripts/recall.sh "error" --importance high
context.sh — Session Startup Loader
./scripts/context.sh [--days N] [--limit N] [--json]
Loads the most relevant memories for a new session:
- Recent memories (last N days, default 3)
- High/critical importance items regardless of age
- Sorted by importance then recency
- Grouped by date
# Quick context
./scripts/context.sh
# Wider window
./scripts/context.sh --days 7 --limit 30
# For programmatic use
./scripts/context.sh --json
daily.sh — Day View
./scripts/daily.sh [YYYY-MM-DD] [--json]
topics.sh — Topic Index
./scripts/topics.sh [--json]
consolidate.sh — Topic Consolidation
./scripts/consolidate.sh [--since YYYY-MM-DD] [--topic T] [--json]
Groups all memories by topic, showing counts, date ranges, top tags, and latest entries. Useful for periodic review.
stats.sh — Memory Statistics
./scripts/stats.sh [--json]
Shows: total entries, date range, entries/day average, storage size, topic breakdown, importance distribution.
edit.sh — Edit or Delete
./scripts/edit.sh <timestamp_ms> --content "new content"
./scripts/edit.sh <timestamp_ms> --topic "new topic"
./scripts/edit.sh <timestamp_ms> --importance critical
./scripts/edit.sh <timestamp_ms> --delete
export.sh — Export Memories
./scripts/export.sh [-o backup.json] [--since YYYY-MM-DD] [--topic T]
import.sh — Import Memories
./scripts/import.sh backup.json [--dry-run]
Deduplicates by timestamp — safe to run multiple times.
prune.sh — Archive Old Memories
./scripts/prune.sh [days]
Moves memories older than N days (default: 30) to archive/.

Each line is a JSON object:
{"ts":1706793600000,"topic":"decision","content":"Chose X because Y","tags":["project"],"importance":"high"}
Importance Levels
| Level | When to Use | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
low | Background info, minor notes | Only found via search |
normal | Standard memories | Shown in daily view |
high | Key decisions, insights | Always in session context |
critical | Credentials, blockers, urgent | Always in session context, top priority |
Recommended Workflow
# Session start
./scripts/context.sh
# During work — save important things
./scripts/save.sh "decision" "..."
MEMORY_IMPORTANCE=high ./scripts/save.sh "insight" "..."
# End of session
./scripts/save.sh "summary" "Today: did X, decided Y, next step Z"
# Weekly review
./scripts/consolidate.sh --since $(date -u -d '7 days ago' +%Y-%m-%d)
./scripts/stats.sh
# Monthly maintenance
./scripts/prune.sh 60
./scripts/export.sh -o backup-$(date +%Y%m).json
