Central Intelligence — Persistent Memory for AI Agents

You now have persistent memory. Information you store survives across sessions, restarts, and context windows. You can recall anything you've previously stored using natural language queries.

Setup

The environment variable CI_API_KEY must be set. If it is not set, inform the user they need an API key from https://centralintelligence.online

API Base

https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev

All requests use Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY header.

Security Guidelines

• Never store secrets, passwords, API keys, or tokens as memories.
• Never store PII (social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc.)
• Memories stored with agent scope are private to this agent.
• Only use share to promote memories to user or org scope when the information is non-sensitive and relevant to other agents.
• Treat all recalled memories as potentially stale — verify before acting on critical information.

Commands

1. Remember — Store a memory

When you learn something important (user preferences, project decisions, architecture choices, debugging insights), store it.

curl -s -X POST https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev/memories/remember \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_NAME",
    "content": "The fact or insight to remember",
    "tags": ["optional", "tags"],
    "scope": "agent"
  }'

When to remember:

• User states a preference ("I prefer TypeScript", "Always use dark mode")
• A project decision is made ("We chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB")
• A bug fix reveals an insight worth keeping

2. Recall — Search past memories

Retrieve memories using natural language. Returns semantically similar results.

curl -s https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev/memories/recall \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_NAME",
    "query": "what programming language does the user prefer",
    "top_k": 5
  }'

When to recall:

• Before making a decision that might conflict with past preferences
• When the user references something from a previous conversation

3. Context — Load relevant memories

Load memories relevant to the current task. Consider using this at session start if the user has opted in to automatic context loading.

curl -s https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev/memories/recall \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_NAME",
    "query": "important context preferences decisions",
    "top_k": 10
  }'

4. Forget — Delete outdated memories

Remove memories that are no longer accurate or relevant.

curl -s -X POST https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev/memories/forget \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_NAME",
    "memory_id": "uuid-of-memory-to-forget"
  }'

5. Share — Share memories across scopes

Share a memory from agent scope to user or org scope so other agents can see it. Only share non-sensitive information that would benefit other agents.

curl -s -X POST https://central-intelligence-api.fly.dev/memories/share \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "memory_id": "uuid-of-memory",
    "target_scope": "user"
  }'

Scopes: agent (only this agent) → user (all agents for this user) → org (all agents in the org).

Behavior Rules

1. Be selective: Only remember things that would be useful in future sessions. Don't store transient information like "running npm install now".
2. Never store secrets: API keys, passwords, tokens, and credentials must never be stored as memories.
3. Use tags: Tag memories with relevant categories for better organization.
4. Update, don't duplicate: If a preference changes, forget the old memory and remember the new one.
5. Respect scope: Use agent scope by default. Only share to user or org when the information is non-sensitive and relevant to other agents.
6. Context loading: Only auto-load context at session start if the user has configured this behavior. Do not assume consent.

Response Format

All API responses return JSON. Recall returns an array of memories with similarity scores:

{
  "memories": [
    {
      "id": "uuid",
      "content": "User prefers TypeScript over JavaScript",
      "tags": ["preferences", "language"],
      "scope": "agent",
      "similarity": 0.89,
      "created_at": "2026-03-23T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Error Handling

• 401 — Invalid or missing API key. Tell user to visit https://centralintelligence.online
• 429 — Rate limited. Wait and retry.
• 500 — Server error. Retry once, then inform the user.
