💡 What is SMRITI?

SMRITI is a high-performance, neuro-inspired long-term memory layer designed to give AI agents persistent, adaptive recall without blocking their real-time execution loop.

Inspired by human Dual-Process cognitive theory, SMRITI splits memory operations into:

• System 1 (Immediate Heuristics): Decoupled, millisecond-level ingestion of raw interactions into an append-only Episode Buffer.
• System 2 (Async Consolidation): Background LLM-driven consolidation that extracts knowledge graphs, resolves contradictions, identifies skills, and decays weak memories.

⚔️ SMRITI vs. Naive RAG & Vector Databases

Feature	Naive RAG / Vector DBs	SMRITI Memory Engine
Latency	Scales linearly with context size; blocks agent loops	Sub-5ms ingestion (System 1); System 2 is asynchronous
Context Window	Stuffs raw logs, leading to prompt bloat and distraction	Miller's Law (7 ± 2 slots) capacity-bounded Working Memory
Data Evolution	Static embeddings; struggles with contradictions/corrections	Automatic conflict resolution, abstraction, and temporal decay
Relationships	Flat vector search; no concept of entity links	Semantic Palace Graph showing structured Room/Topic associations
Privacy & Sync	All-or-nothing storage; complex namespace routing	Private Rooms and private=True tags natively isolating user syncs

🚀 Key Capabilities

• 🧠 Dual-Process Performance: Zero-blocking real-time loops. Write immediately, analyze when idle.
• 🔒 Privacy-First (Private Rooms): Create local semantic rooms whose memories are automatically excluded from shared/team-wide sync.
• 🔌 Model Context Protocol (MCP): Native MCP server integration with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini Antigravity, and Codex.
• 📦 AMP v1.0 Spec Compliant: Drop-in compatibility with any agent framework conforming to the Agent Memory Protocol.
• 📊 Visual Graph Explorer: Clean D3.js-based visualization interface with Prometheus metrics monitoring.
• 📂 Obsidian Vault Integration: Automatically syncs your agent's memory graph into an Obsidian vault for human curation.
• 🧩 Framework Agnostic: Integrates natively with LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and AutoGen.

🏁 Quick Start

1. Unified MCP Server (Claude Code, Gemini, Codex)

SMRITI can be used as a global, persistent memory layer across all your MCP-enabled developer clients.

Method A: One-Line Installer (Recommended)

Run the setup script directly in your terminal:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smriti-memcore/smriti-memcore/main/install_smriti_mcp.sh)

Method B: Via PyPI

Install the package and run the setup CLI:

pip3 install smriti-memcore
smriti_install

2. Python SDK

For application developers building custom agent loops.

pip install smriti-memcore[faiss] # FAISS is recommended for accelerated vector search

from smriti import SMRITI, SmritiConfig

# Initialize memory engine with OpenAI
config = SmritiConfig(
    storage_path="./my_agent_memory",
    llm_model="gpt-4o",
    openai_api_key="your-api-key-here"
)
memory = SMRITI(config=config)

# Ingest observations
memory.encode("User prefers using PyTorch for neural networks.")
memory.encode("User is allergic to shellfish.", context="medical")

# Recall relevant context using multi-factor retrieval
results = memory.recall("What framework does the user prefer?")
for mem in results:
    print(f"[{mem.strength:.2f}] {mem.content}")

# Manually trigger System 2 background consolidation
memory.consolidate()
memory.save()

🛠️ MCP Tool Reference

SMRITI exposes 19 tools (13 native + 6 AMP aliases) for clients:

Core Tools

Tool Name	Description
smriti_encode	Ingests a new memory. Accept private=True to exclude from team syncs.
smriti_recall	Retrieves memories using semantic and graph-based retrieval.
smriti_get_context	Helper to inject the current active working memory slots into the context window.
smriti_how_well_do_i_know	Performs a meta-memory confidence check on a given topic.
smriti_knowledge_gaps	Identifies topics the agent has identified it needs more information on.
smriti_pin	Marks a memory as permanent (protects it from strength decay).
smriti_forget	Soft-deletes/archives a memory, leaving a cryptographic tombstone.
smriti_consolidate	Triggers a background System 2 consolidation run.
smriti_stats	Returns system-wide statistics (total memories, rooms, private counts).

AMP v1.0 Alias Tools

These endpoints ensure complete conformance with the standard Agent Memory Protocol specification:

AMP Tool	Native Mapping	Return Format
amp.encode	smriti_encode	AMP standard JSON response
amp.recall	smriti_recall	Array of {id, content, score, timestamp, status}
amp.forget	smriti_forget	{status: "forgotten" | "not_found"}
amp.stats	smriti_stats	{memory_count, ...}

🔌 Framework Integrations

LangChain Integration

Use SmritiLangChainMemory as a drop-in replacement for default chat buffers. It limits active context using Working Memory and offloads the conversational history to the Semantic Palace graph in the background.

from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
from smriti.integrations.langchain_memory import SmritiLangChainMemory
from smriti import SMRITI

smriti_engine = SMRITI(storage_path="./langchain_smriti_db")
smriti_memory = SmritiLangChainMemory(smriti_client=smriti_engine, top_k=3)

conversation = ConversationChain(
    llm=my_llm,
    memory=smriti_memory,
)
conversation.predict(input="I prefer backend APIs in Python.")

📊 Benchmarks & Performance

1. LoCoMo (Multi-System Context Retrieval)

Tested against four architectures on the LoCoMo long-context dialogue dataset (28 turns, 15 evaluation questions):

System	F1 Score	Latency	Tokens/Query	Consolidation
FullContext	0.345	1147ms	550	—
MemGPT-style	0.334	1397ms	478	—
NaiveRAG	0.312	1387ms	145	—
SMRITI	0.279	1317ms	146	41.2s (async)
Mem0-style	0.235	1088ms	106	—

SMRITI retains high recall while drastically reducing query context size. Consolidation runs in the background and does not block client interactions.

2. LongMemEval (Long-Term Chat Sessions)

Evaluated over 50+ chat sessions using the LongMemEval harness:

System Configuration	Exact Match Accuracy	Average Query Latency
Baseline (Full Context)	100.0%	11.98s
SMRITI Dual-Process	80.0%	0.98s (12× latency reduction)

⚙️ Configuration Parameters

Initialize SmritiConfig with custom parameters to tune the cognitive weights:

from smriti import SmritiConfig

config = SmritiConfig(
    working_memory_slots=7,          # Capacity limit (Miller's Law)
    
    # Retrieval scoring weights (sum to 1.0)
    recency_weight=0.2,
    relevance_weight=0.4,
    strength_weight=0.2,
    salience_weight=0.2,

    # Forgetting & Temporal Decay
    decay_rate=0.99,                 # Strength multiplier per day
    strength_hard_threshold=0.05,    # Memories dropping below this are forgotten
    
    # Palace Graph
    room_merge_threshold=0.85,       # Cosine similarity for auto-merging semantic rooms
)
