do-memory-core

Version: v0.1.13 | Production-ready core episodic learning system for AI agents

Overview

do-memory-core provides the foundation for building AI agents that learn from their execution history. It implements a complete episode lifecycle (start → execute → score → learn → retrieve) with intelligent pattern extraction, semantic embeddings, and spatiotemporal indexing.

Key Features

• Episodic Memory: Complete episode lifecycle with detailed step logging and reward scoring
• Pattern Recognition: Automatic extraction of ToolSequences, DecisionPoints, ErrorRecovery, and ContextPatterns
• Intelligent Reward Scoring: Sophisticated multi-factor scoring with efficiency, complexity, and quality bonuses
• Smart Reflection: Generate actionable insights and improvement recommendations from completed episodes
• Semantic Embeddings: Optional multi-provider semantic search (OpenAI, Cohere, Ollama, local)
• Spatiotemporal Indexing: Location and time-aware memory retrieval with k-d tree optimization
• Dual Storage: Seamless integration with Turso/libSQL (durable) and redb (cache) backends
• Async Pattern Learning: Queue-based pattern extraction with worker pool and backpressure handling
• Monitoring: Comprehensive metrics and performance tracking

Module Breakdown

Total: ~23,326 LOC across 7 core modules

Quick Start

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
do-memory-core = "0.1"
do-memory-storage-turso = "0.1"
do-memory-storage-redb = "0.1"

Basic Usage

use memory_core::{SelfLearningMemory, TaskContext, TaskType, ExecutionStep};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Initialize memory system
    let memory = SelfLearningMemory::new(Default::default()).await?;

    // Start an episode
    let context = TaskContext {
        language: "rust".to_string(),
        domain: "web".to_string(),
        tags: vec!["api".to_string()],
    };

    let episode_id = memory.start_episode(
        "Build REST API endpoint".to_string(),
        context.clone(),
        TaskType::CodeGeneration,
    ).await;

    // Log execution steps
    let step = ExecutionStep {
        step_number: 1,
        timestamp: chrono::Utc::now(),
        tool: "rustc".to_string(),
        action: "compile".to_string(),
        parameters: serde_json::json!({}),
        result: Some("Compiled successfully".to_string()),
        latency_ms: 1250,
        tokens_used: Some(2500),
        metadata: Default::default(),
    };

    memory.log_step(episode_id, step).await;

    // Complete episode with scoring
    let outcome = TaskOutcome::Success {
        verdict: "Endpoint created successfully".to_string(),
        artifacts: vec![],
    };

    let completed = memory.complete_episode(episode_id, outcome).await?;

    println!("Episode completed with reward: {}", completed.reward.unwrap().total);

    // Retrieve similar past episodes
    let relevant = memory.retrieve_relevant_context(
        "Build REST endpoint".to_string(),
        context,
        5,
    ).await?;

    println!("Found {} relevant episodes", relevant.len());
    Ok(())
}

With Semantic Embeddings

[dependencies]
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["openai"] }

// Semantic search automatically enabled when embeddings feature is active
let relevant = memory.retrieve_relevant_context(
    "Build REST endpoint".to_string(),
    context,
    5,
).await?;
// Results ranked by semantic similarity

Core Concepts

Episodes

An episode represents a complete task execution with:

• Unique ID and timestamps
• Task context (language, domain, tags, optional location)
• Execution steps with tool usage and outcomes
• Reward score and reflection upon completion
• Extracted patterns for future learning
• Optional semantic embeddings

Patterns

Four types of patterns are automatically extracted:

• ToolSequence: Common sequences of tool usage
• DecisionPoint: Critical decision moments and their outcomes
• ErrorRecovery: Successful error handling strategies
• ContextPattern: Recurring contextual features

Reward & Reflection

Episodes are scored based on:

• Base reward from outcome (success/partial/failure)
• Efficiency multiplier (time + step count)
• Complexity bonus (task difficulty)
• Quality multipliers (code quality, test coverage, error handling)
• Learning bonuses (diverse tools, pattern usage, error recovery)

Reflections include:

• Success pattern identification
• Improvement opportunity analysis
• Key insight extraction
• Contextual recommendations

Storage Backends

do-memory-core works with two storage backends:

• do-memory-storage-turso: Turso/libSQL for durable, distributed SQL storage
• do-memory-storage-redb: redb for fast embedded key-value caching
