Module: Llmemory::MemoryModule

Included in:
LongTerm::Episodic::Memory, LongTerm::FileBased::Memory, LongTerm::GraphBased::Memory, LongTerm::Procedural::Memory
Defined in:
lib/llmemory/memory_module.rb

Overview

Uniform contract for queryable long-term memories (file-based, graph-based, episodic). CoALA argues agents should be modular with standardized abstractions; this mixin gives any memory store the same agent-facing surface so frameworks can treat them polymorphically:

read(query, user_id:, limit:)  -> relevant entries (retrieval)
write(payload, ...)            -> ingest into the store (learning)
list(user_id:, limit:)         -> enumerate stored entries
stats(user_id:)                -> counts and metadata

‘read` defaults to the de-facto `search_candidates` interface the retrieval Engine already relies on. `write`, `list` and `stats` are implemented by each including class over its native API.

Deliberately excluded: session-state stores (Checkpoint, WorkingMemory) are a different abstraction (K/V session state, not a retrievable corpus), and deletion/forgetting semantics are deferred to a coherent unlearning API.

Instance Method Details

#forget(ids:, reason: nil) ⇒ Object

Removes entries by id (the same ids returned by #read) and records the removal in a ForgetLog audit. Returns the number of entries removed. Implemented by stores with a clear deletion model; others may not support it (CoALA-style “unlearning” is understudied; deletion semantics differ).

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

  raise NotImplementedError, "#{self.class} does not support #forget"
end

#forget_log ⇒ Object

Shared audit trail for #forget. Lazily built; override or inject by setting
