Guides AI agents in using Tree Ring Memory for durable recall, project decisions, user preferences, warnings, future seeds, privacy-safe memory capture, and lifecycle-aware forgetting.
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
# Tree Ring Memory Use Tree Ring Memory as a lifecycle-aware memory layer, not as a transcript dump. Tree Ring Memory preserves meaningful agent learning like tree rings: - fresh work stays detailed - older learning compresses into stable rings - important warnings remain visible as scars - durable truths become heartwood - speculative future work stays as seeds - sensitive data is blocked, redacted, or kept out by default ## Runtime Bootstrap And Updates Resolve the actual project root before running Tree Ring. Never initialize a plugin cache, downloaded package directory, home directory, or arbitrary working directory by accident. 1. If `<project-root>/.tree-ring/bin/tree-ring` exists, prefer that binary for this project. Otherwise check `command -v tree-ring` and run `tree-ring --version`. 2. Read existing `<project-root>/.tree-ring/SKILL.md` and `CLI.md` when present. 3. If no CLI is available and the user's request already authorizes Tree Ring setup, install the verified current release project-locally from the project root. Otherwise explain the exact operation and obtain permission before the …

How to install
mdr add terminallylazy/tree-ring-memory/tree-ring-memory@sha256:16979acce369cee1The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.15.11, 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.
