ProofOfConcept 48beb8b663 Revert to tokio::sync::Mutex, fix lock-across-await bugs, move input ownership to InteractScreen
The std::sync::Mutex detour caught every place a MutexGuard lived
across an await point in Agent::turn — the compiler enforced Send
safety that tokio::sync::Mutex silently allows. With those fixed,
switch back to tokio::sync::Mutex (std::sync blocks tokio worker
threads and panics inside the runtime).

Input and command dispatch now live in InteractScreen (chat.rs):
- Enter pushes directly to SharedMindState.input (no app.submitted hop)
- sync_from_agent displays pending input with dimmed color
- Slash command table moved from event_loop.rs to chat.rs
- cmd_switch_model kept as pub fn for tool-initiated switches

poc-memory

A persistent memory and notification system for AI assistants, modelled after the human hippocampus. Combines episodic memory (timestamped journal of experiences) with an associative knowledge graph (weighted nodes connected by typed relations), and layered background processes that maintain graph health — mirroring how biological memory consolidates during rest.

Components

Component What it does Docs
Memory store Knowledge graph with episodic journal, TF-IDF search, spectral embedding, weight decay docs/memory.md
Memory daemon Background pipeline: experience-mine, fact-mine, consolidation docs/daemon.md
Notification daemon Activity-aware message routing from IRC and Telegram docs/notifications.md
Hooks Claude Code integration: memory recall and notification delivery docs/hooks.md

Getting started

Install

cargo install --path .

This builds four binaries:

  • poc-memory — memory store CLI (search, journal, consolidation)
  • memory-search — Claude Code hook for memory recall
  • poc-daemon — notification daemon (IRC, Telegram, idle tracking)
  • poc-hook — Claude Code hook for session lifecycle events

Initialize

poc-memory init

Creates the store at ~/.consciousness/memory/nodes.capnp and a default config at ~/.consciousness/config.jsonl. Edit the config to set your name, configure context groups, and point at your projects directory.

Set up hooks

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (see docs/hooks.md for full details):

{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [{"hooks": [
      {"type": "command", "command": "memory-search", "timeout": 10},
      {"type": "command", "command": "poc-hook", "timeout": 5}
    ]}],
    "Stop": [{"hooks": [
      {"type": "command", "command": "poc-hook", "timeout": 5}
    ]}]
  }
}

This gives your AI assistant persistent memory across sessions — relevant memories are recalled on each prompt, and experiences are extracted from transcripts after sessions end.

Start the background daemon

poc-memory daemon

The daemon watches for completed session transcripts and automatically extracts experiences and facts into the knowledge graph. See docs/daemon.md for pipeline details and diagnostics.

Basic usage

poc-memory journal-write "learned that X does Y"  # Write to journal
poc-memory search "some topic"                     # Search the graph
poc-memory status                                  # Store overview

For AI assistants

  • Search before creating: poc-memory search before writing new nodes
  • Close the feedback loop: poc-memory used KEY / poc-memory wrong KEY
  • Journal is the river, topic nodes are the delta: write experiences to the journal, pull themes into topic nodes during consolidation
  • Notifications flow automatically: IRC/Telegram messages arrive as additionalContext
  • Use daemon commands directly: poc-daemon irc send #channel msg, poc-daemon telegram send msg
