└── telegram/
    ├── index.yaml
    └── {member_id}.yaml

Examples

Remember information about a member

When a user shares that "@alice works in fintech":

# First check if profile exists
python {{PLUGIN_DIR}}/tools/member_profile.py get \
  --platform discord \
  --member-id "123456789" \
  --json

# If exists, add observation:
python {{PLUGIN_DIR}}/tools/member_profile.py add-observation \
  --platform discord \
  --member-id "123456789" \
  --text "Works at a fintech startup"

# If new, create profile:
python {{PLUGIN_DIR}}/tools/member_profile.py save \
  --platform discord \
  --member-id "123456789" \
  --name "Alice" \
  --observation "Works at a fintech startup"

Look up a member

When user asks "who is @bob":

python {{PLUGIN_DIR}}/tools/member_profile.py get \
  --platform discord \
  --member-id "987654321" \
  --json

Find members with specific skills

When user asks "who knows Python here":

python {{PLUGIN_DIR}}/tools/member_profile.py search \
  --platform discord \
  --query "python" \
  --json

Limits

• Observations: Max 50 per profile (oldest trimmed automatically)
• Keywords: Max 10 per profile
• Display name: Max 100 characters
• Observation text: Max 500 characters
• Notes: Max 2000 characters
• Profiles: Supports up to 100,000 per platform

Notes

• Profiles are platform-scoped: One profile per member per platform
• A member active in multiple Discord servers shares one Discord profile
• Observations are append-only - conflicting info is preserved with timestamps
• The index enables fast search without loading all profiles
• Use --json flag for programmatic access to output
