OpenLoomi Memory Skill

OpenLoomi Memory is the long-lived context layer of OpenLoomi — a tiered, locally-stored knowledge graph that grows on its own from your Connectors, chats, and Screen Capture. Memory is what makes Chat grounded and what Loop reads before it produces a Decision. It is always on your machine (local-first), always visible, and always auditable — see Memory for the full model.

This skill exposes three searchable surfaces over that context:

Use search-all whenever the user asks a general memory question — it covers all three surfaces in one call.

Overview

Tiered model. OpenLoomi Memory spans four tiers that OpenLoomi reasons across simultaneously:

• Raw information — original messages, files, transcripts synced from your Connectors and Screen Capture.
• Insights — extracted entities, decisions, key events from chats and source messages. Each insight carries usage analytics (view frequency, sources, value score) and a maintenance cycle (daily analytics refresh, weekly compaction) that surfaces the most relevant records and prevents context decay.
• Contextual memory — recent conversation state, screen captures, and short-term references for the current task.
• Knowledge-base memory — the long-term people / projects / decisions / preferences graph that survives months of activity.

Together these let Chat ground answers in both immediate context and deep history at once. Loop reads the relevant slice before producing each Decision; the result of every approved Action is written back into Memory so the next judgement has sharper context.

How it works with Connectors. Memory is auto-built from the platforms you've authorized. Connectors handle the OAuth / app-credential / QR / interactive flows — see openloomi-connectors for the native 7 messaging apps and the Composio OAuth layer (1000+ apps including Slack, Discord, X, Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar/Drive/Docs, GitHub, Notion, Linear, HubSpot, LinkedIn, Jira, Asana). Once connected, Memory continuously syncs raw messages, meetings, emails, tweets, calendar events, voice calls, and any notes or screen captures you've made.

Authentication

The CLI auto-reads your token from ~/.openloomi/token (base64 encoded JWT).

Local Memory Filesystem

Overview

Memory files are stored locally at ~/.openloomi/data/memory/ and searched via direct filesystem access. This is a read-only operation that performs case-insensitive text search across .md and .json files.

Directory Structure

~/.openloomi/data/memory/
├── chats/           # Chat conversation exports
├── channels/         # Channel memory exports e.g., weixin, telegram, etc.
├── people/          # Person profiles
├── projects/       # Project notes
├── notes/          # General notes
└── strategy/       # Strategy documents

Write Operations

Memory files are plain markdown or JSON stored locally. You can add or delete files directly.

Adding a memory file:

node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs add-memory "Content to remember" --file=filename.md --directory=notes

• --file (optional): Filename. If not provided, auto-generated from first line of content.
• --directory (optional): Subdirectory under ~/.openloomi/data/memory/. Created if doesn't exist.

Deleting a memory file:

node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs delete-memory filename.md --directory=notes

How search-memory Works

1. Path: ~/.openloomi/data/memory/ (or subdirectory if specified)
2. Search Type: Case-insensitive full-text search
3. Files: Scans .md and .json files recursively (max depth 5)
4. Matching: Each line is searched; returns first match per file
5. Output: File path, line number, and line preview (first 200 chars)

Example Output

{
  "results": [
    {
      "file": "people/boss.md",
      "line": 42,
      "preview": "My boss John mentioned the deadline is next Friday"
    },
    {
      "file": "projects/app/notes.md",
      "line": 10,
      "preview": "Boss wants the app launched by end of month"
    }
  ],
  "total": 2
}

Insight Usage Analytics & Maintenance

openloomi tracks insight usage and performs periodic maintenance to preserve retrieval quality, avoiding context decay.

Usage Tracking

Each insight view is recorded with:

• Access timestamp
• Access source (list, detail, search, favorite)
• Cumulative access counts (7-day / 30-day / total)

Data is stored in the insightWeights table:

• accessCountTotal - Total access count
• accessCount7d - Access count in last 7 days
• accessCount30d - Access count in last 30 days
• lastAccessedAt - Last access timestamp

Analysis Dimensions

Each insight is scored on trend and value:

Trend Indicators:

• rising - Access frequency increasing
• falling - Access frequency decreasing
• stable - Frequency stable

Periodic Maintenance

System automatically runs two maintenance tasks:

Retention Policy:

• delete: 90 days no access + low score + not high importance → soft delete, hard delete after 180 days
• archive: 30 days no access + low score OR falling trend + low score → archived

GET /api/insights/analytics - Get Insight Usage Analytics

curl "http://localhost:3414/api/insights/analytics" \

Command Reference

AI Agent Workflow

Triggered when the user asks about memory, knowledge, or past information:

1. Memory file search - "search my memory", "find what I said about..."
2. Knowledge base search - "search uploaded documents", "find in knowledge base"
3. Insights management - "list insights", "delete an insight"
4. Channel insights - "what messages on Gmail?", "show me Telegram chats", "any WhatsApp messages?"
5. Comprehensive search - "search everything", "find in all my memory", "build relationship graph"

Execution Flow:

1. Identify intent - determine if user wants comprehensive search or specific source
2. Prefer search-all - for general memory queries, always use search-all first to get comprehensive results across all sources
3. Execute in parallel - when specific sources are needed, run multiple searches simultaneously:
   • search-memory for local files
   • search-knowledge for uploaded documents
   • list-insights for extracted insights
4. For channel queries - use list-insights with --channel parameter:
   • "gmail" - Email messages via Gmail
   • "outlook" - Email messages via Outlook
   • "telegram" - Telegram chats
   • "whatsapp" - WhatsApp messages
   • "slack" - Slack messages
   • "discord" - Discord messages
   • "linkedin" - LinkedIn messages
   • "twitter" - Twitter/X posts
   • "weixin" - WeChat messages
   • "rss" - RSS feed items
5. Format output - aggregate and present results in user's language

Best Practice for Comprehensive Queries:

# When user asks about relationships, people, or general memory:
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs search-all "person/project/topic"

# Then optionally get details from specific sources
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs search-memory "person" --directory=people
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-insights --days=30 --keyword=<keyword>

Channel-Based Message Queries:

# User asks "what emails did I receive?" or "show me Gmail messages"
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-insights --channel=gmail --days=7

# User asks "any Telegram messages about project X"?
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-insights --channel=telegram --days=30

# User asks "recent WhatsApp messages"?
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-insights --channel=whatsapp

Living Connections (Hebbian Potentiation)

Living Connections track relationships between insights that strengthen when they're accessed together. This implements Hebbian learning: "insights that fire together, wire together."

Commands

# Get related insights - "users who viewed X also viewed Y"
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-related-insights <insightId>

# Get related insights with filters
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-related-insights insight_xxx --limit=10 --minStrength=0.3

# Get connection statistics
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-connection-stats <insightId>

How It Works

1. When you view an insight, connections to other insights viewed within 5 minutes are strengthened
2. Connection strength decays over time using Ebbinghaus-style forgetting curve
3. Strong connections (strength > 0.5) are considered "living" - actively referenced

Response Format

{
  "insightId": "insight_xxx",
  "connections": [...],
  "relatedInsights": [
    {
      "insightId": "insight_yyy",
      "strength": 0.72,
      "coAccessCount": 5
    }
  ],
  "total": 5
}

Temporal Queries (Time-Travel)

Temporal validity enables "time-travel" queries - seeing what insights were relevant at a specific point in time.

Commands

# Get insights valid at a specific point in time (time-travel query)
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-insights-as-of 2026-01-01

# Get currently valid insights (no expiration or future expiration)
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-current-insights

# Get insights overlapping a time interval
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-insights-in-interval 2026-01-01 2026-06-01

Use Cases

• "What did I know about Project X on March 1st?"
• "What insights were valid during my vacation last July?"
• "Show me only currently relevant insights (hide expired ones)"

Entity Registry

Entity Registry tracks people, groups, concepts, projects, and companies as first-class entities with disambiguation support.

Commands

# List all entities of a specific type
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-entities --type=person

# Search entities by name
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs list-entities --search=John

# Get entity details with linked insights
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs get-entity <entityId> --insights

Entity Types

Search with Connections

Combined search that returns matching insights along with their Living Connections, providing a richer context.

# Search insights and include related insights
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs search-with-connections "project deadline"

# With custom limit
node $SKILL_DIR/scripts/openloomi-memory.cjs search-with-connections "project deadline" --limit=5
