Structured knowledge memory for LLM agents.

Implementations store named key-value pairs that get compiled into the system prompt via compile().

Uses &self for all methods — implementations must handle interior mutability (e.g. via Mutex).

Required Methods

fn get(&self, key: &str) -> Option<String>

Get the value for a key (owned).

fn entries(&self) -> Vec<(String, String)>

Get all key-value pairs (owned).

fn set( &self, key: impl Into<String>, value: impl Into<String>, ) -> Option<String>

Set (upsert) a key-value pair. Returns the previous value if the key existed.

fn remove(&self, key: &str) -> Option<String>

Remove a key. Returns the removed value if it existed.

Provided Methods

fn compile(&self) -> String

Compile all entries into a string for system prompt injection.

fn store( &self, key: impl Into<String> + Send, value: impl Into<String> + Send, ) -> impl Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send

Store a key-value pair (async). Default delegates to set.

fn recall( &self, _query: &str, _options: RecallOptions, ) -> impl Future<Output = Result<Vec<MemoryEntry>>> + Send

Search for relevant entries (async). Default returns empty.

fn compile_relevant(&self, _query: &str) -> impl Future<Output = String> + Send

Compile relevant entries for a query (async). Default delegates to compile.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
