agentmemory — Agent Instructions

Architecture

agentmemory is a persistent memory system for AI coding agents, built on iii-engine's three primitives (Worker/Function/Trigger). Everything goes through registerFunction/registerTrigger/sdk.trigger() — never bypass iii-engine with standalone SQLite or in-process alternatives.

  • Engine: iii-sdk (WebSocket to iii-engine on port 49134)
  • State: File-based SQLite via iii-engine's StateModule (./data/state_store.db)
  • Build: TypeScript → ESM via tsdown, output to dist/
  • Test: vitest (npm test excludes integration tests)

Consistency Rules

When adding or removing MCP tools, you MUST update ALL of the following:

  1. src/mcp/tools-registry.ts — tool definition + getAllTools() array
  2. src/mcp/server.ts — handler case in the mcp::tools::call switch
  3. src/triggers/api.ts — REST endpoint registration
  4. src/index.ts — function registration + endpoint count in the log line
  5. test/mcp-standalone.test.ts — tool count assertion
  6. README.md — tool counts (search for "MCP tools")
  7. plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — tool count in description

When adding REST endpoints, you MUST update:

  1. src/triggers/api.ts — endpoint registration
  2. src/index.ts — endpoint count in the log line
  3. README.md — endpoint count (search for "REST endpoints" and "endpoints on port")

When bumping version, you MUST update ALL of the following:

  1. package.json — version field
  2. src/version.ts — VERSION constant and type union
  3. src/types.ts — ExportData version union
  4. src/functions/export-import.ts — supportedVersions set
  5. test/export-import.test.ts — version assertion
  6. plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — version field

When adding new KV scopes:

  1. src/state/schema.ts — add to the KV object
  2. src/types.ts — add the corresponding interface

When adding new audit operations:

  1. src/types.ts — add to AuditEntry.operation union type

Code Patterns

Function Registration

sdk.registerFunction(
  "mem::your-function",
  async (data: { ... }) => {
    // validate inputs
    // do work via kv.get/kv.set/kv.list
    // record audit via recordAudit()
    return { success: true, ... };
  },
);

REST Endpoint Registration

sdk.registerFunction("api::your-endpoint", async (req: ApiRequest) => {
  const denied = checkAuth(req, secret);
  if (denied) return denied;
  const body = req.body as Record<string, unknown>;
  // validate + whitelist fields (never pass raw body to sdk.trigger)
  const result = await sdk.trigger({
    function_id: "mem::your-function",
    payload: { ... },
  });
  return { status_code: 200, body: result };
});
sdk.registerTrigger({
  type: "http",
  function_id: "api::your-endpoint",
  config: { api_path: "/agentmemory/your-path", http_method: "POST" },
});

MCP Tool Handler

case "memory_your_tool": {
  // validate args with typeof checks
  // parse CSV args: args.field.split(",").map(t => t.trim()).filter(Boolean)
  const result = await sdk.trigger({
    function_id: "mem::your-function",
    payload: { ... },
  });
  return { status_code: 200, body: { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] } };
}

Hook Scripts

Hook scripts in src/hooks/ are standalone Node.js scripts (no iii-sdk import). They read JSON from stdin, make HTTP calls to the REST API, and exit. Always use try/catch with AbortSignal.timeout() for best-effort calls.

Coding Standards

  • TypeScript, ESM only ("type": "module")
  • No code comments explaining WHAT — use clear naming instead
  • Use fingerprintId() for content-addressable dedup, generateId() for unique IDs
  • Parallel operations where possible (Promise.all for independent kv writes/reads)
  • Input validation at system boundaries (MCP handlers, REST endpoints)
  • REST endpoints must whitelist fields — never pass raw request body to sdk.trigger()
  • Use recordAudit() for state-changing operations
  • Timestamps: capture once with new Date().toISOString() and reuse

Testing

  • All tests must pass before PR: npm test (699+ tests)
  • Mock pattern: vi.mock("iii-sdk") with mock sdk.trigger, kv.get/set/list
  • Test files go in test/ with .test.ts extension
  • Follow existing patterns in test/crystallize.test.ts for function tests

Current Stats (v0.8.9)

  • 44 MCP tools (8 visible by default, AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS=all for all)
  • 104 REST endpoints
  • 6 MCP resources, 3 MCP prompts
  • 12 hooks, 4 skills
  • 50+ iii functions
  • 699 tests
