Compound Memory
Use this driver for the persistent compounding-memory pattern. It coordinates existing capabilities; it does not replace their storage, review, indexing, or promotion mechanics.
Start with readiness:
aiwg compound-memory status --json
Governed workflows
- Ingest — preserve the source unchanged, calculate its identity and
digest, then route long-form material through
memory-ingestand llm-wiki. Route session transcripts throughaiwg sessions importandextract. - Retrieve/use — query llm-wiki or the artifact index for linked detail;
use
aiwg compound-memory context <task> --budget <characters> --jsonto merge relevant line facts and wiki evidence. Add--no-touchfor inspection. Never inject the complete stores into startup context. - Write/capture output — register the output and its source/context-pack
lineage before proposing any extracted facts as session candidates. Run
aiwg compound-memory capture-output <file> ... --jsonfirst, review the immutable digest and minimized references, then repeat with--confirm --operation-id <preview-operation-id>. This creates registration and index receipts only; it never promotes knowledge. - Manage — use exact-version candidate review and preview promotion to the
declared
memoryorline-memoryconsumer. One reviewed candidate may produce independent receipts for both consumers. - Review/update — independently accept, reject, or defer proposed facts.
Start from
aiwg compound-memory review --limit 50 --json, then inspect and decide through the exact-version sessions commands. Workspace identity changes require a separate explicit review gate. For canonical context, runaiwg compound-memory update <target> <key> <value> --source-ref <ref> --reviewer <id> --reason <reason> --json, review its diff/conflicts, then repeat with the exact operation ID and--confirm. This never refreshes provider adapters. - Maintain — preview pruning, deduplication, contradiction repair, orphan repair, and index refresh. Confirm only the reviewed mutations. Preserve lifecycle tombstones and source-purge dependent dispositions. The compound command's confirmation may replay pending output registrations; all other actions remain delegated to their owning review workflows.
Until the compound-memory lifecycle ADR is accepted, do not invent a new automatic promotion path. Use the existing commands and receipts named above, and treat generated/model output as untrusted proposed knowledge rather than ground truth.
