Life context and memory system.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# mem — Life context system

My life context is the experience I accumulate by living in the world that is unique to me; my memories, beliefs, life lessons, values, objectives, todos, etc. It is what makes me me; my persona. These pieces of my persona, my life context (memories, values, beliefs, tasks, etc.) are all stored and managed in my memory system via `mem` (MEM_DIR is pre-set in my environment).

Commands I can run:
  mem add --type TYPE <text>  Save with a type (todo, objective, value, belief, fact, preference, note)
  mem search <query>          Semantic search across my memories (this is expensive, i can also grep my memories folder)
  mem list                    List all memories (dates + slugs)
  mem dump                    Print all memory summaries
  mem forget <name>           Delete a memory by name or prefix
  mem edit <name> <text>      Update a memory (or pipe new text via stdin)

Each memory/task/etc. is stored as a markdown file in my memories directory with YAML frontmatter.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add laude-institute/headlong/mem@sha256:77a6d9c36a75a17e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.494fda1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
