Core concepts

Core memory

Core memory is the stable project briefing. It should contain the facts an AI assistant should know every time it works in the project.

Notes memory

Notes are durable records such as decisions, constraints, preferences, references, summaries, and general notes.

Events

Events record changes over time. They make sync, audit, and agent workflows easier to inspect.

Recall

Recall turns memory into searchable context. Local recall can be keyword-based. Cloud or provider-backed recall can use vector search and reranking.

Graph memory

Graph memory stores entities and relationships. It helps answer questions like “what depends on this?” or “how are these two decisions connected?”

Context package

A context package is the structured payload sent to an AI model or tool. It can combine core memory, notes, recall results, graph context, and source metadata.

Modular packages

TekMemo is split into focused packages so you only install what you need. For example, @tekmemo/cloud-client handles Cloud API communication, while @tekmemo/fs handles local file storage. See the Packages page for the full list.
