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<(), Error>> + Send

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

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