packset

What does this seat know, standing? A pack of written claims with a review clock: one claim per atom, written on purpose, never mined from a transcript; ranked by a measured panel of scorers; reviewed before it is forgotten; faded when it is not; retracted with the deed that showed it wrong. One daemon owns one LMDB file and every tool is a client.

Install

$ cargo binstall packset packset-daemon
# or: cargo install packset packset-daemon
$ packset ensure

$ export PACKSET_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8761

packset-mcp is the read-only MCP surface and packset-embed the optional dense encoder; the pack answers without either.

What holds

• Writes are remember and prefer, two sentences at most, stored as given. Nothing is extracted from a transcript.
• Every claim has a validity window and a review clock (FSRS). Retrievability scales search; on a longitudinal corpus it ranks a recalled claim first 0.947 of the time against 0.230 for words alone.
• A later claim closes the earlier one it rewrites; the closed one keeps its window for an as-of read. consolidate runs the rule over what is held.
• Search fuses a prefix scan, BM25+ and a dense ballot. LongMemEval_S sessions: 0.889 hit@1; MemoryAgentBench accurate retrieval 0.675 and conflict resolution 0.579 with a 7B reader.
• A workspace holds at most PACKSET_LIVE_CAP live claims (twenty thousand); past it the least retrievable lessons are forgotten as tombstones. Every claim carries the seat that wrote it.
• Forgetting by neglect: a review left due past twice its interval lapses as a missed review would, and a never-recalled lesson missed three times is forgotten. The writer sweeps once a day; packset sweep runs it now.
• Claims link by shared names; links carry weights that use strengthens; island returns the cluster a task activates.
• One writer, one LMDB file. Zero errors at 32 clients, and a herd of 32 writing 6400 distinct claims into one workspace loses none of them. A second host is a second pack; a signed handover crosses.
• Trust rows and personas live in the pack and reach the seat's consensus.

The numbers, their jobs and how to regenerate them are on the explanation page and in the bench package.
