This is the initial fork commit for agent-admin/memoria, a production
hardening of coleam00/claude-memory-compiler. It addresses all four P0
findings from the bug audit (atomic state writes, file locking on
daily log appends, subprocess detachment, path-traversal guard) plus
several P1s (aliased wikilinks, timezone wiring, staleness-based
compile trigger, SDK retry with backoff, file-handle context manager).
File-level changes:
- LICENSE — MIT (fork is self-declared FOSS; upstream has no LICENSE
file but author has stated FOSS intent).
- pyproject.toml — renamed project to `memoria`, removed unused
python-dotenv dependency, added optional `test` dep group.
- scripts/fs_utils.py — NEW module containing the primitives that
the other patches rely on:
* atomic_write_text(path, content): tmp + fsync + os.replace;
interrupted writes leave the target unchanged.
* locked_append_text(path, content): fcntl.flock (POSIX) /
msvcrt.locking (Windows) exclusive lock around the write so
concurrent callers never interleave.
* extract_wikilinks / parse_wikilink: strip [[target|display]]
aliases correctly (fixes upstream issues #7 and #8).
* safe_article_path(link, base): resolves a wikilink slug inside
a base dir or returns None (path traversal guard).
* load_json_with_recovery(path, default): on corruption, moves
the bad file aside with a timestamped .bak-YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ
suffix, logs a warning, returns the default. Replaces the
silent `{}` return that would otherwise cause full-recompile.
- scripts/utils.py — save_state/load_state now use atomic writes and
corruption recovery; wiki_article_exists + count_inbound_links now
alias-aware via fs_utils helpers.
- scripts/config.py — TIMEZONE is now wired via zoneinfo.ZoneInfo
and used by now_iso/today_iso (previously defined but ignored).
Overridable via MEMORIA_TZ env var. Unknown zones log a warning
and fall back to system local time rather than crashing.
- scripts/flush.py —
* save_flush_state / load_flush_state use atomic + recovery.
* append_to_daily_log uses locked_append_text; concurrent flush
+ pre-compact calls can no longer interleave log entries.
* run_flush retries SDK failures up to MAX_SDK_ATTEMPTS=3 with
exponential backoff (2s, 4s) before returning FLUSH_ERROR.
* On FLUSH_ERROR, main() preserves the context file and does NOT
update dedup state — the next flush retries cleanly instead of
the failure being silently swallowed.
* Explicit model="haiku" for flush (short summarization task).
* maybe_trigger_compilation replaced: 6 PM wall-clock gate is
gone; trigger is now staleness-based (hash changed AND
COMPILE_INTERVAL_MIN elapsed since last compile). Configurable
via MEMORIA_COMPILE_INTERVAL_MIN. Uses _now_local() from
config so the clock respects the configured timezone.
* compile.log handle uses a `with open()` context manager so the
fd is always cleaned up, even if Popen throws.
- hooks/session-end.py, hooks/pre-compact.py — subprocess.Popen now
passes start_new_session=True on POSIX, detaching flush.py from
the hook's process group so it survives post-hook SIGHUP. Fixes
the intermittent-data-loss failure mode where flush subprocess
was killed mid-LLM-call.
Tests (formal acceptance suite still to come in this phase): each
helper verified via unit exercise in scratch directories — atomic
roundtrip, corruption recovery with .bak creation, alias parsing,
path-traversal rejection.
Upstream issue mapping: #3/#5/#9 addressed by the next commit
(compile.py + query.py scaling fix). #7/#8 addressed here via
alias-aware helpers. License (#11) resolved via MIT LICENSE.

LLM Personal Knowledge Base
Your AI conversations compile themselves into a searchable knowledge base.
Adapted from Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base architecture, but instead of clipping web articles, the raw data is your own conversations with Claude Code. When a session ends (or auto-compacts mid-session), Claude Code hooks capture the conversation transcript and spawn a background process that uses the Claude Agent SDK to extract the important stuff - decisions, lessons learned, patterns, gotchas - and appends it to a daily log. You then compile those daily logs into structured, cross-referenced knowledge articles organized by concept. Retrieval uses a simple index file instead of RAG - no vector database, no embeddings, just markdown.
Anthropic has clarified that personal use of the Claude Agent SDK is covered under your existing Claude subscription (Max, Team, or Enterprise) - no separate API credits needed. Unlike OpenClaw, which requires API billing for its memory flush, this runs on your subscription.
Quick Start
Tell your AI coding agent:
"Clone https://github.com/coleam00/claude-memory-compiler into this project. Set up the Claude Code hooks so my conversations automatically get captured into daily logs, compiled into a knowledge base, and injected back into future sessions. Read the AGENTS.md for the full technical reference on how everything works."
The agent will:
- Clone the repo and run
uv syncto install dependencies - Copy
.claude/settings.jsoninto your project (or merge the hooks into your existing settings) - The hooks activate automatically next time you open Claude Code
From there, your conversations start accumulating. After 6 PM local time, the next session flush automatically triggers compilation of that day's logs into knowledge articles. You can also run uv run python scripts/compile.py manually at any time.
How It Works
Conversation -> SessionEnd/PreCompact hooks -> flush.py extracts knowledge
-> daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md -> compile.py -> knowledge/concepts/, connections/, qa/
-> SessionStart hook injects index into next session -> cycle repeats
- Hooks capture conversations automatically (session end + pre-compaction safety net)
- flush.py calls the Claude Agent SDK to decide what's worth saving, and after 6 PM triggers end-of-day compilation automatically
- compile.py turns daily logs into organized concept articles with cross-references (triggered automatically or run manually)
- query.py answers questions using index-guided retrieval (no RAG needed at personal scale)
- lint.py runs 7 health checks (broken links, orphans, contradictions, staleness)
Key Commands
uv run python scripts/compile.py # compile new daily logs
uv run python scripts/query.py "question" # ask the knowledge base
uv run python scripts/query.py "question" --file-back # ask + save answer back
uv run python scripts/lint.py # run health checks
uv run python scripts/lint.py --structural-only # free structural checks only
Why No RAG?
Karpathy's insight: at personal scale (50-500 articles), the LLM reading a structured index.md outperforms vector similarity. The LLM understands what you're really asking; cosine similarity just finds similar words. RAG becomes necessary at ~2,000+ articles when the index exceeds the context window.
