kindling-service

In-process orchestration for kindling memory — local-first memory for AI-assisted development.

kindling-service is the embedded Rust service layer for kindling. It gives you direct access to capsule lifecycle, observation capture, retrieval, pins, redaction and import/export without going through the daemon.

For most integrations, prefer kindling-client. Use this crate when you deliberately want single-process, zero-IPC access.

Install

[dependencies]
kindling-service = "0.2"

When to use this crate

Use kindling-service when:

You are embedding kindling inside a Rust process.
You control access to the underlying store.
You want zero IPC overhead.
You are building a headless workflow, test harness or controlled runtime.

Avoid this crate for multi-tool concurrent access unless you know exactly how storage access is coordinated. The daemon-backed kindling-client is safer for general integrations.

What it provides

Open and close capsules.
Append observations.
Retrieve relevant memory.
Create and remove pins.
Mask secrets at the service boundary.
Export and import kindling bundles.
