## 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

## Feature Flags
Enable optional embedding providers via Cargo features:
```toml
# Individual providers
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["openai"] }
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["mistral"] }
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["local-embeddings"] }
# All providers
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["embeddings-full"] }
```
## Key Capabilities

- Pattern similarity matching for relevant experience retrieval
- Reward-based pattern learning and improvement
- Frequency and success rate tracking
### Semantic Search (Optional)

- Vector similarity search for context-aware retrieval
- Automatic embedding generation and caching
- Batch processing for efficiency
### Spatiotemporal Indexing
- Location-aware memory retrieval
- Time-based context queries

## Quick Start
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
do-memory-core = "0.1"
do-memory-storage-turso = "0.1"
do-memory-storage-redb = "0.1"
```
### Basic Usage
```rust
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
```toml
[dependencies]
do-memory-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["openai"] }
```
```rust
// 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](https://crates.io/crates/do-memory-storage-turso)**: Turso/libSQL for durable, distributed SQL storage
- **[do-memory-storage-redb](https://crates.io/crates/do-memory-storage-redb)**: redb for fast embedded key-value caching
## Performance
All operations meet or exceed performance targets:
| Episode Creation | < 50ms | ~2.5 µs | 19,531x faster |
| Step Logging | < 20ms | ~1.1 µs | 17,699x faster |
| Episode Completion | < 500ms | ~3.8 µs | 130,890x faster |
| Pattern Extraction | < 1000ms | ~10.4 µs | 95,880x faster |
| Memory Retrieval | < 100ms | ~721 µs | 138x faster |
