1. Install the MCP server (Claude Code):
claude mcp add --scope user agent-recall -- npx -y agent-recall-mcpGeneric MCP JSON for other clients:
{ "mcpServers": { "agent-recall": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "agent-recall-mcp"] } } }2. First message of every new session, run the loop:
At the start of a session, call session_start to load context.
When the human corrects you, call remember with type "correction".
At the end of a session, call session_end to compound what you learned.
AgentRecall is two things:
-
A governed corrections ledger — every time you correct your agent ("no, not that version", "put this section first", "ask me before you assume"), that correction is stored as a structured record with severity, evidence, and outcome tracking. It persists across sessions, projects, and agent restarts.
-
A measurement instrument — the only open-source system that tracks whether a correction actually changed what the agent does in a later session. Every correction accumulates
retrieved_count, and every time the agent encounters the same situation, the outcome is recorded (heededorrecurred).
No other agent memory tool measures that second step. Every benchmark in the field tests retrieval; none tests behavioral change across sessions. We built the measurement harness first — and we publish what we found, including the unflattering numbers.
Most agent memory tools claim "never repeats the same mistake." None of them publish a number for it.
Here is what our own instrument found on our own live corpus (2026-07-03):
| Metric | Value | Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Correction capture recall (dual-blind audit, n=59) | 35.3% [17.3–58.7 CI] | UPDATE-LOG.md §M2 |
| Heed rate, pre-2026-07-03 (instrument-biased upper bound — do not cite) | 92.5% [Wilson 60.1–100] | scripts/eval/baselines/rmr-baseline-2026-07-03.json |
| Heed rate, evidence-grounded (post-reset) | 0/3 events | scripts/eval/baselines/rmr-baseline-2026-07-03.json |
| Correction transfer recall (offline bench, achievable) | 0/4 [Wilson 0–49%] | scripts/eval/baselines/correction-transfer-real-2026-07-03.json |
| Median session_start injection | 1,489 tokens (was 2,010; Mem0 anchor ~7K) | UPDATE-LOG.md §C2 |
| p95 session_start latency (warm) | 363 ms (was 1,132) | UPDATE-LOG.md §C2 |
The heed instrument defaulted to "heeded" absent evidence before 2026-07-03; the reset default is "unknown" — the honest 0/3 is the correct starting point, not a regression. Transfer recall cannot support a point-estimate claim below 39 classes (claim-gate ledger, benchmark spec §2.6).
Verify it yourself: every number above regenerates from the committed artifacts — see docs/eval/REPRODUCE.md.
What this means: we captured 35% of real corrections in our own live use. The heed instrument was biased and we reset it. The offline transfer benchmark scores 0 on our own corpus — which is a density problem (32 active corrections across 19 projects is too sparse to front-run mistakes), not a retrieval architecture problem (confirmed 5× by internal experiments).
The learning loop framing is correct — the system is designed to track whether corrections change behavior — but the data we have so far is insufficient to quantify the uplift. We are publishing the measurement harness and running the experiment.
In mid-2026, the agent-memory field is crowded (Mem0 ~60K stars, Graphiti/Zep ~28K, Supermemory ~28K, Letta ~24K). Most published benchmark numbers in this space are self-reported on the same 2–3 retrieval benchmarks and are hard to reproduce independently.
The confirmed gap (from our research report docs/research/agent-memory-landscape-2026-07.md §2): no public benchmark measures whether a captured correction changes what a fresh agent does in a new session. LongMemEval, LoCoMo, MemoryAgentBench, Letta Leaderboard — all test retrieval or within-session updates.
AgentRecall owns two pieces of the unclaimed ground:
- The corrections ledger — a governed data model (
corrections-export/v1, scrubbed egress, retraction, severity, proof-confidence) that any engine can integrate against. - The measurement harness —
predict-loo(leave-one-out, anti-self-confirming, dual denominators) and the correction-transfer benchmark spec (HeedBench v1— provisional name), which implements the missing pipeline: capture → persist → fresh session → measure recurrence.
Benchmark numbers in agent memory are typically self-reported and hard to reproduce. Ours regenerate from a fixed, hash-locked corpus with one command (npm run bench) — including the scores that make us look bad.

const memory = new AgentRecall({ project: "my-app" });
await memory.capture("What stack?", "Next.js + Postgres");
const ctx = await memory.recall("rate limiting");The canonical cognitive-psychology taxonomy mapped to your agent's filesystem:
| Layer | Type | What it holds | Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Episodic | What happened in each session, chronologically. Auto-written during work. | journal/ |
| 2 | Semantic | Topic-clustered facts with [[wikilinks]]: Architecture, Goals, Blockers. |
palace/rooms/ |
| 3 | Procedural | IF-THEN production rules — reusable how-tos. | palace/skills/ |
| 4 | Narrative | Project phases: Goal → What was hard → How solved → Synthesis. | palace/pipeline/ |
| 5 | Correction | Behavioral calibration: rules the agent must follow, with severity and outcome tracking. | corrections/ |
| + | Awareness | Cross-project insights promoted from N-confirmed corrections — the compounding layer. | palace/awareness |
All layers share one canonical naming grammar so any agent can compose retrieval paths from intent. Existing files keep working via a legacy_path view — no migration needed.

| Command | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/arstart |
First — every session | OPEN. No args = status board across ALL projects (pending work, blockers) → pick by number → load that project's deep context (palace rooms, corrections, task recall). /arstart <slug> loads directly; /arstart bootstrap scans your machine and imports existing projects. |
/arsave |
Last — every session | SAVE. Write journal + palace consolidation + awareness compounding. /arsave all batch-saves every parallel session of the day (scan, merge, deduplicate). |
/arrecall |
Mid-session, on demand | SEARCH. Surface past knowledge for the current task — documented fixes, prior decisions, patterns. |
/arreflect |
Every K sessions | CONSOLIDATE. Periodic triage: confirm recurrence/phantom matches, cluster new error classes, propose rule re-abstractions (rule edits stay owner-gated). |
Without
/arstart, a fresh agent has zero orientation. Without/arsave, nothing compounds. Those two are the spine;/arrecalland/arreflectcompound it.
Memory only compounds if it fires automatically, not on demand. Every pull-channel tool (recall, memory_query) saw zero organic calls across 44 projects over weeks of real use — including from the agent that built them. That is why only 5 tools ship by default; the two-verb model (session_start / session_end) carries all the compounding value, and everything else is opt-in via --full.
An autonomous overnight agent that runs while you sleep and compounds everything your sessions wrote during the day.
| What it does | Result |
|---|---|
| Mine patterns across all projects | Repeated corrections promote to palace/awareness |
| Ebbinghaus salience decay | Low-signal rooms fade; your palace stays sharp |
| Journal rollups | Entries >30 days compress into summary rooms |
| Awareness graduation | Corrections confirmed N× times go cross-project |
| Telegram report | Nightly summary: learned · decayed · crystallized |

The question this answers: does a correction actually change behavior, or does the same mistake come back? A logged correction whose error class recurs after the rule was encoded is a phantom gradient step — the write cost was paid, the behavior never changed.
The kit in experimental/harness-kit/ is a Claude Code harness layer that closes this loop on top of AgentRecall:
| Piece | What it does |
|---|---|
ar-scoreboard.py (SessionStart hook) |
Health digest every session: correction flow, insight promotion rate, loop health, phantom counts, reflection cadence |
ar-recurrence-check.py (+ your ~/.agent-recall/taxonomy.json, schema in TAXONOMY-SCHEMA.md) |
Error-class taxonomy over your corrections; mechanical phantom detection (violation dated after its rule) |
/arstart · /arsave · /arrecall · /arreflect |
The four memory verbs (open · save · search · consolidate) as slash commands |
/arreflect (every K sessions) |
Periodic triage: confirm provisional matches, cluster new error classes, propose rule re-abstractions — rule edits stay owner-gated |
ar-nudge.py (UserPromptSubmit hook) |
Surfaces overdue reflection mid-session — memory pushed to the moment of action, not left to be remembered |
dispatch-model-guard.py (PreToolUse hook, optional) |
Warn-only guard for an explicit-model dispatch policy — an example of mechanizing a rule that text alone failed to enforce |
North-star metric: post-re-abstraction phantom rate → 0 for treated classes. First validation run (2026-07-14, one power-user harness): 8 error classes and 18 confirmed phantom gradient steps found in 109 corrections; 6 rules re-abstracted the same day.
Status: experimental. Validated on one harness; Python 3 stdlib only; install steps and caveats in the kit's README. Since v3.4.37 the same phenomenon is also measured natively: failure_class + the cross-project recurrence join.
A local-first visual dashboard for your memory: an activity calendar, per-project status, corrections, and insights — all rendered from your local ~/.agent-recall/ data. Fully offline (vendored assets), no Node and no build step.

TypeScript monorepo, 4 published packages: core (storage + tool logic), mcp-server (thin MCP wrappers), sdk (programmatic API), cli (the ar command). All memory is local markdown under ~/.agent-recall/projects/<slug>/ — journal/, corrections/, and palace/ (rooms, skills, pipeline, awareness). An optional Supabase mirror adds pgvector semantic recall; all-local stays the default.
Retrieval: keyword + RRF (Cormack 2009). FSRS-lite decay (Ebbinghaus → SuperMemo → FSRS-6). A Modern Hopfield re-rank primitive (Ramsauer 2020) is in the codebase but not wired into the default path — what runs today is local keyword/substring matching (stemming + synonym expansion + lightweight IDF, per-source ranking) merged via RRF, plus optional vector search when OPENAI_API_KEY is set. No inverted index or BM25 k1/b tuning — a real BM25 index is a possible future upgrade, not what's running now.
