Tree Ring Memory Framework

Agenticness12/36·Guided Assistant

Local-first memory lifecycle for AI agents

A Rust-based memory layer for AI agents that stores, recalls, and consolidates memory locally with SQLite/FTS. It is built for developers who want explainable recall, explicit forgetting, and portable agent memory without a required cloud service.

About

What It Is

Tree Ring Memory Framework is a local-first memory infrastructure layer for AI agents. It is designed to help developers build memory that changes over time instead of accumulating raw transcripts, with support for capture, recall, consolidation, audit, forgetting, and superseding.

What to Know

This is not a chat assistant or a full agent platform; it is a memory subsystem for other agents. The strongest part of the design is that memory operations are explicit and inspectable: recall includes ranking signals, and forgetting, redaction,...

Key Features
Rust-native CLI and crates
Local SQLite/FTS storage
Explainable recall with ring, scope, confidence, and ranking signals
Explicit forgetting, redaction, supersession, and expiry
Deterministic consolidation without requiring an LLM
Use Cases
Adding persistent memory to a custom AI agent stack
Storing and recalling project-scoped lessons for development workflows
Keeping durable decisions, warnings, and preferences separate from raw transcripts
