# Mnemopi memory backend
|
|
|
|
Oh My Pi can use `@oh-my-pi/pi-mnemopi` as a local long-term memory backend.
|
|
|
|
Set:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
memory:
|
|
backend: mnemopi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
memory:
|
|
backend: mnemopi
|
|
mnemopi:
|
|
scoping: per-project-tagged
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With this backend enabled, the coding agent:
|
|
|
|
1. Opens one or more local Mnemopi SQLite databases according to the configured bank scoping.
|
|
2. Recalls relevant memories into a `<memories>` block for the first model turn of a session and refreshes the base prompt if recall happens from the `agent_start` listener.
|
|
3. Retains completed conversation turns into the retain bank after agent turns, no more often than `mnemopi.retainEveryNTurns`.
|
|
4. Adds recalled memory as extra compaction context when compaction asks the memory backend for `preCompactionContext`.
|
|
5. Uses the normal `/memory view`, `/memory stats`, `/memory diagnose`, `/memory clear`, and `/memory enqueue` commands through the shared memory backend interface.
|
|
|
|
Recalled memory is background context, not instructions. Current user messages and tool output take precedence when they conflict.
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Default | Description |
|
|
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `memory.backend` | `off` | Set to `mnemopi` to enable this backend. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.dbPath` | agent memories dir | Optional SQLite database path. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.bank` | unset | Optional shared bank base name passed to `Mnemopi`; the coding-agent wrapper scopes from this base according to `mnemopi.scoping`. Unset → shared bank `default`; per-project modes derive a project bank from the working-directory basename plus a stable hash of its absolute path. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.scoping` | `per-project` | Memory visibility mode: `global` = one shared bank, `per-project` = isolated project memory, `per-project-tagged` = project-local writes plus global recall visibility. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.autoRecall` | `true` | Recall memory on the first turn of a session. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.autoRetain` | `true` | Retain completed turns automatically. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.polyphonicRecall` | `false` | Enable 4-voice polyphonic recall (vector, graph, fact, temporal) with reciprocal rank fusion; `MNEMOPI_POLYPHONIC_RECALL` overrides when set. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.enhancedRecall` | `false` | Enable the tiered query result cache for repeated/similar recall queries; `MNEMOPI_ENHANCED_RECALL` overrides when set. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.retainEveryNTurns` | `4` | Minimum user turns between automatic retain writes. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.recallLimit` | `8` | Maximum recalled memories in the prompt block. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.recallContextTurns` | `3` | Prior user-bounded turns included in recall queries. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.recallMaxQueryChars` | `4000` | Maximum composed recall query length. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.injectionTokenLimit` | `5000` | Approximate token budget for memory prompt injection. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.debug` | `false` | Enable debug logging for backend failures. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.noEmbeddings` | `false` | Pass `noEmbeddings` to `Mnemopi` and force FTS-only recall. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.embeddingVariant` | `en` | Local embedding model variant: `en` = `BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5` (768d), `multilingual` = `intfloat/multilingual-e5-large` (1024d). `mnemopi.embeddingModel`/`MNEMOPI_EMBEDDING_MODEL` override it; changing it rebuilds stored embeddings on the next writable start. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.embeddingModel` | variant default | Explicit embedding model id; overrides `mnemopi.embeddingVariant`. Precedence: this setting > `MNEMOPI_EMBEDDING_MODEL` env > variant default. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.embeddingApiUrl` | env/default | OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoint passed to `Mnemopi`. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.embeddingApiKey` | env/default | Embedding API key passed to `Mnemopi`. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.llmMode` | `smol` | `smol` uses the configured pi-ai smol model, `remote` uses the settings below, and `none` disables LLM calls. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.llmBaseUrl` | env/default | OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint for `llmMode: remote`. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.llmApiKey` | env/default | LLM API key for `llmMode: remote`. |
|
|
| `mnemopi.llmModel` | env/default | LLM model id for `llmMode: remote`. |
|
|
|
|
## Scoping
|
|
|
|
The coding-agent wrapper applies scoping on top of the underlying `Mnemopi` package:
|
|
|
|
- `global` uses one shared bank for recall and writes.
|
|
- `per-project` writes to and recalls from a bank derived from the current working directory alone — its basename plus a stable hash of its absolute path, independent of the surrounding git layout.
|
|
- `per-project-tagged` writes to the project-local bank and recalls from both the project-local bank and the shared global bank, with duplicate recall results merged.
|
|
|
|
The combined project-plus-global behavior lives in the wrapper. The `@oh-my-pi/pi-mnemopi` package itself still exposes banks and constructor options directly, including `bank` for selecting a bank name. Project-local banks other than the shared bank are stored as sibling bank databases managed by Mnemopi's `BankManager`.
|
|
|
|
## LLM and embeddings
|
|
|
|
The backend passes these settings to the `Mnemopi` constructor; if a setting is omitted, Mnemopi falls back to its `MNEMOPI_*` environment defaults. The backend does not download or run a local GGUF LLM. LLM-dependent paths use a configured pi-ai model, an opt-in local on-device memory model (`providers.memoryModel`, ONNX — overrides `smol`/`remote` when set to a local model), a dynamic completion function, a remote OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or deterministic no-LLM fallbacks.
|
|
|
|
FTS-only:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
memory:
|
|
backend: mnemopi
|
|
mnemopi:
|
|
noEmbeddings: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Equivalent constructor shape:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
new Mnemopi({ noEmbeddings: true });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remote embeddings:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mnemopi:
|
|
embeddingModel: text-embedding-3-small
|
|
embeddingApiUrl: https://api.openai.com/v1
|
|
embeddingApiKey: ${OPENAI_API_KEY}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Equivalent constructor shape:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
new Mnemopi({
|
|
embeddingModel: "text-embedding-3-small",
|
|
embeddingApiUrl: "https://api.openai.com/v1",
|
|
embeddingApiKey,
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remote LLM:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mnemopi:
|
|
llmMode: remote
|
|
llmBaseUrl: https://api.openai.com/v1
|
|
llmApiKey: ${OPENAI_API_KEY}
|
|
llmModel: gpt-4.1-mini
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Equivalent constructor shapes:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
new Mnemopi({ llm: { baseUrl, apiKey, model } });
|
|
new Mnemopi({ llmBaseUrl: baseUrl, llmApiKey: apiKey, llmModel: model });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Dynamic function LLM for rotating OAuth tokens:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
new Mnemopi({
|
|
llm: async (prompt, opts) => {
|
|
const token = await getFreshOauthToken();
|
|
return await completeWithPiAi(prompt, {
|
|
token,
|
|
maxTokens: opts?.maxTokens,
|
|
temperature: opts?.temperature,
|
|
});
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
pi-ai smol model LLM:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
mnemopi:
|
|
llmMode: smol
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The coding agent resolves its configured smol role and passes a dynamic completion function so every Mnemopi LLM call can fetch the current provider credentials at call time:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
new Mnemopi({
|
|
llm: async (prompt, opts) => completeSmolWithCurrentAuth(prompt, opts),
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Operational notes
|
|
|
|
- The default shared database lives under the agent memories directory in `mnemopi/mnemopi.db`; project-scoped banks use sibling database paths under that Mnemopi directory.
|
|
- `/memory clear` removes every scoped Mnemopi SQLite database and sidecar WAL/SHM files for the active configuration.
|
|
- `/memory enqueue` forces retention of the current session, flushes pending fact extractions, and runs Mnemopi sleep/consolidation.
|
|
- `/memory stats` and `/memory diagnose` render backend-specific bank statistics/diagnostics when the Mnemopi backend is active.
|
|
- Subagents do not own separate Mnemopi retain loops; they alias the parent state when a parent Mnemopi state exists, and otherwise remain inert.
