+
+## Core Memory Architecture Patterns
+
+### 1. User-Agent-Memory Hierarchy
+
+```typescript
+interface MemoryModel {
+ id: string; // Unique memory identifier
+ userId: string; // User who owns this memory
+ agentId: string; // Agent that created/uses this memory
+ content: string; // Actual memory content
+ embedding?: number[]; // Vector embedding for semantic search
+ metadata: {
+ createdAt: Date;
+ updatedAt: Date;
+ accessCount: number;
+ lastAccessedAt?: Date;
+ importance: number; // 0-10 scale
+ tags: string[];
+ category?: string;
+ source?: string; // Where this memory came from
+ relatedMemories?: string[]; // IDs of related memories
+ };
+ permissions: {
+ sharedWithAgents?: string[]; // Other agents that can access
+ isPublic: boolean;
+ readOnly: boolean;
+ };
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Database Schema Design
+
+#### SQLite Schema (Local/Small Scale)
+
+```sql
+-- Users table
+CREATE TABLE users (
+ id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+ created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+ metadata JSON
+);
+
+-- Agents table
+CREATE TABLE agents (
+ id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+ name TEXT NOT NULL,
+ created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+ capabilities JSON
+);
+
+-- Memories table with composite indexing
+CREATE TABLE memories (
+ id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+ user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+ agent_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+ content TEXT NOT NULL,
+ embedding BLOB, -- Store as binary for vector embeddings
+ metadata JSON,
+ created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+ updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+ FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+ FOREIGN KEY (agent_id) REFERENCES agents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
+);
+
+-- Composite indexes for efficient queries
+CREATE INDEX idx_user_agent ON memories(user_id, agent_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_user_agent_created ON memories(user_id, agent_id, created_at DESC);
+CREATE INDEX idx_importance ON memories(user_id, agent_id, json_extract(metadata, '$.importance') DESC);
+
+-- Memory access log for usage patterns
+CREATE TABLE memory_access_log (
+ memory_id TEXT,
+ accessed_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+ access_type TEXT, -- 'read', 'update', 'reference'
+ FOREIGN KEY (memory_id) REFERENCES memories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
+);
+
+-- Tags for efficient filtering
+CREATE TABLE memory_tags (
+ memory_id TEXT,
+ tag TEXT,
+ PRIMARY KEY (memory_id, tag),
+ FOREIGN KEY (memory_id) REFERENCES memories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
+);
+CREATE INDEX idx_tags ON memory_tags(tag);
+
+-- Memory relationships (graph structure)
+CREATE TABLE memory_relations (
+ from_memory_id TEXT,
+ to_memory_id TEXT,
+ relation_type TEXT, -- 'follows', 'contradicts', 'elaborates', etc.
+ strength REAL DEFAULT 1.0,
+ PRIMARY KEY (from_memory_id, to_memory_id),
+ FOREIGN KEY (from_memory_id) REFERENCES memories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+ FOREIGN KEY (to_memory_id) REFERENCES memories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
+);
+```
+
+#### PostgreSQL Schema (Production/Scale)
+
+```sql
+-- Enable required extensions
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pgvector";
+
+-- Memories with vector support
+CREATE TABLE memories (
+ id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
+ user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+ agent_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+ content TEXT NOT NULL,
+ embedding vector(1536), -- OpenAI embedding dimension
+ metadata JSONB NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}',
+ created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
+ updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
+ search_vector tsvector GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
+ to_tsvector('english', content)
+ ) STORED
+);
+
+-- Indexes for performance
+CREATE INDEX idx_memory_user_agent ON memories(user_id, agent_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_memory_embedding ON memories USING ivfflat (embedding vector_cosine_ops);
+CREATE INDEX idx_memory_search ON memories USING GIN (search_vector);
+CREATE INDEX idx_memory_metadata ON memories USING GIN (metadata);
+CREATE INDEX idx_memory_created ON memories(created_at DESC);
+```
+
+### 3. Memory Storage Patterns
+
+#### Hierarchical Storage Strategy
+
+```typescript
+class MemoryStorage {
+ private hotCache: LRUCache<string, MemoryModel>; // Most recent/frequent
+ private warmStorage: Database; // Active memories
+ private coldStorage: S3Client; // Archived memories
+
+ async storeMemory(memory: MemoryModel): Promise<void> {
+ // Always write to warm storage
+ await this.warmStorage.insert(memory);
+
+ // Cache if frequently accessed
+ if (memory.metadata.importance >= 7) {
+ this.hotCache.set(memory.id, memory);
+ }
+
+ // Archive old memories periodically
+ if (this.shouldArchive(memory)) {
+ await this.moveToCodeStorage(memory);
+ }
+ }
+
+ async retrieveMemory(userId: string, agentId: string, memoryId: string): Promise<MemoryModel> {
+ // Check cache first
+ const cached = this.hotCache.get(memoryId);
+ if (cached) return cached;
+
+ // Check warm storage
+ const warm = await this.warmStorage.findOne({ id: memoryId, userId, agentId });
+ if (warm) {
+ this.updateAccessMetrics(memoryId);
+ return warm;
+ }
+
+ // Restore from cold storage if needed
+ return await this.restoreFromCold(memoryId);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Efficient Query Patterns
+
+#### Semantic Search Implementation
+
+```typescript
+class MemorySearchEngine {
+ async searchMemories(
+ userId: string,
+ agentId: string,
+ query: string,
+ options: SearchOptions
+ ): Promise<MemoryModel[]> {
+ // Generate embedding for query
+ const queryEmbedding = await this.generateEmbedding(query);
+
+ // Hybrid search: combine vector similarity and keyword matching
+ const sql = `
+ WITH vector_search AS (
+ SELECT id, content, metadata,
+ 1 - (embedding <=> $1::vector) as vector_score
+ FROM memories
+ WHERE user_id = $2 AND agent_id = $3
+ ORDER BY embedding <=> $1::vector
+ LIMIT 100
+ ),
+ keyword_search AS (
+ SELECT id, content, metadata,
+ ts_rank(search_vector, plainto_tsquery('english', $4)) as keyword_score
+ FROM memories
+ WHERE user_id = $2 AND agent_id = $3
+ AND search_vector @@ plainto_tsquery('english', $4)
+ LIMIT 100
+ )
+ SELECT DISTINCT m.*,
+ COALESCE(v.vector_score, 0) * 0.7 +
+ COALESCE(k.keyword_score, 0) * 0.3 as combined_score
+ FROM memories m
+ LEFT JOIN vector_search v ON m.id = v.id
+ LEFT JOIN keyword_search k ON m.id = k.id
+ WHERE v.id IS NOT NULL OR k.id IS NOT NULL
+ ORDER BY combined_score DESC
+ LIMIT $5
+ `;
+
+ return await this.db.query(sql, [
+ queryEmbedding,
+ userId,
+ agentId,
+ query,
+ options.limit || 10
+ ]);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Memory Lifecycle Management
+
+#### Importance Decay and Consolidation
+
+```typescript
+class MemoryLifecycleManager {
+ async updateMemoryImportance(): Promise<void> {
+ // Decay importance over time
+ const decayRate = 0.95; // 5% decay per period
+ const sql = `
+ UPDATE memories
+ SET metadata = jsonb_set(
+ metadata,
+ '{importance}',
+ to_jsonb(GREATEST(0, (metadata->>'importance')::float * $1))
+ )
+ WHERE updated_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+ AND (metadata->>'importance')::float > 1
+ `;
+ await this.db.execute(sql, [decayRate]);
+ }
+
+ async consolidateMemories(userId: string, agentId: string): Promise<void> {
+ // Find related memories and consolidate
+ const memories = await this.findRelatedMemories(userId, agentId);
+
+ for (const cluster of this.clusterMemories(memories)) {
+ if (cluster.length > 5) {
+ const consolidated = await this.synthesizeMemories(cluster);
+ await this.storeConsolidatedMemory(consolidated);
+ await this.archiveOriginals(cluster);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ async pruneMemories(userId: string, agentId: string, maxCount: number): Promise<void> {
+ // Keep only the most important/recent memories
+ const sql = `
+ WITH ranked_memories AS (
+ SELECT id,
+ ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
+ PARTITION BY user_id, agent_id
+ ORDER BY
+ (metadata->>'importance')::float DESC,
+ created_at DESC
+ ) as rank
+ FROM memories
+ WHERE user_id = $1 AND agent_id = $2
+ )
+ DELETE FROM memories
+ WHERE id IN (
+ SELECT id FROM ranked_memories WHERE rank > $3
+ )
+ `;
+ await this.db.execute(sql, [userId, agentId, maxCount]);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Multi-Agent Memory Sharing
+
+#### Permission-Based Access Control
+
+```typescript
+class MemoryAccessControl {
+ async canAccessMemory(
+ requestingAgentId: string,
+ memory: MemoryModel
+ ): Promise<boolean> {
+ // Owner agent always has access
+ if (memory.agentId === requestingAgentId) return true;
+
+ // Check explicit sharing permissions
+ if (memory.permissions.sharedWithAgents?.includes(requestingAgentId)) {
+ return true;
+ }
+
+ // Check public memories
+ if (memory.permissions.isPublic) {
+ return true;
+ }
+
+ // Check agent relationships and trust levels
+ return await this.checkAgentTrust(memory.agentId, requestingAgentId);
+ }
+
+ async shareMemoryWithAgent(
+ memoryId: string,
+ targetAgentId: string,
+ permissions: SharePermissions
+ ): Promise<void> {
+ const sql = `
+ UPDATE memories
+ SET metadata = jsonb_set(
+ jsonb_set(
+ metadata,
+ '{permissions,sharedWithAgents}',
+ COALESCE(metadata->'permissions'->'sharedWithAgents', '[]'::jsonb) || $2::jsonb
+ ),
+ '{permissions,readOnly}',
+ $3::jsonb
+ )
+ WHERE id = $1
+ `;
+ await this.db.execute(sql, [
+ memoryId,
+ JSON.stringify([targetAgentId]),
+ permissions.readOnly
+ ]);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Performance Optimization Strategies
+
+#### Indexing Best Practices
+
+1. **Composite indexes** for common query patterns (user_id + agent_id)
+2. **Partial indexes** for filtered queries
+3. **Expression indexes** for JSON fields
+4. **Vector indexes** for similarity search (pgvector)
+5. **Full-text indexes** for keyword search
+
+#### Caching Strategy
+
+```typescript
+class MemoryCacheManager {
+ private userCaches: Map<string, Map<string, LRUCache<string, MemoryModel>>>;
+
+ getCacheKey(userId: string, agentId: string): string {
+ return `${userId}:${agentId}`;
+ }
+
+ async warmCache(userId: string, agentId: string): Promise<void> {
+ // Pre-load recent and important memories
+ const memories = await this.db.query(`
+ SELECT * FROM memories
+ WHERE user_id = $1 AND agent_id = $2
+ ORDER BY
+ (metadata->>'importance')::float DESC,
+ created_at DESC
+ LIMIT 100
+ `, [userId, agentId]);
+
+ const cache = this.getOrCreateCache(userId, agentId);
+ memories.forEach(m => cache.set(m.id, m));
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+When designing memory persistence:
+
+- [ ] Define clear user/agent/memory relationships
+- [ ] Choose appropriate storage backend (SQLite vs PostgreSQL vs hybrid)
+- [ ] Implement efficient indexing strategy
+- [ ] Design memory lifecycle (creation, access, decay, archival)
+- [ ] Add semantic search capabilities
+- [ ] Implement access control for multi-agent scenarios
+- [ ] Plan for scalability (sharding, partitioning)
+- [ ] Add monitoring and metrics
+- [ ] Implement backup and recovery
+- [ ] Consider GDPR/privacy compliance (user data deletion)
+
+## Storage Backend Recommendations
+
+### For Development/Small Scale
+
+- SQLite with JSON support
+- In-memory caching with node-cache or lru-cache
+- File-based archival
+
+### For Production/Scale
+
+- PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
+- Redis for hot cache
+- S3/MinIO for cold storage
+- ElasticSearch for advanced search
+
+### For Edge/Distributed
+
+- CockroachDB for geo-distribution
+- ScyllaDB for high throughput
+- IPFS for decentralized storage
+
+Always design with data privacy, performance, and scalability in mind.
