|
||
## 2. Retrieval Algorithm Validation
|
||
|
||
### Test Setup
|
||
|
||
**Test Script**: `src/reasoningbank/test-retrieval.ts`
|
||
|
||
**Test Data**: 5 synthetic memories across 3 domains (test.web, test.api, test.db)
|
||
|
||
### Retrieval Results
|
||
|
||
**Query 1**: "How to handle CSRF tokens in web forms?" (domain: test.web)
|
||
```
|
||
Retrieved 6 candidates:
|
||
1. CSRF Token Handling (conf: 0.88, age: 0d)
|
||
2. Authentication Cookie Validation (conf: 0.82, age: 0d)
|
||
3. Form Validation Before Submit (conf: 0.75, age: 0d)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Query 2**: "API rate limiting and retry strategies" (domain: test.api)
|
||
```
|
||
Retrieved 2 candidates:
|
||
1. API Rate Limiting Backoff (conf: 0.91, age: 0d)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Query 3**: "Database error recovery" (domain: test.db)
|
||
```
|
||
Retrieved 2 candidates:
|
||
1. Database Transaction Retry Logic (conf: 0.86, age: 0d)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Scoring Algorithm Verification
|
||
|
||
**Formula**: `score = α·sim + β·recency + γ·reliability`
|
||
|
||
**Parameters** (from config):
|
||
- α = 0.65 (semantic similarity weight)
|
||
- β = 0.15 (recency weight via exponential decay)
|
||
- γ = 0.20 (reliability weight from confidence × usage)
|
||
- δ = 0.10 (diversity penalty for MMR selection)
|
||
|
||
**Recency Decay**: `exp(-age_days / 45)` with 45-day half-life
|
||
|
||
**Reliability**: `min(confidence, 1.0)` bounded by confidence score
|
||
|
||
### Cosine Similarity Test
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Cosine similarity (identical vectors): 1.0000
|
||
Cosine similarity (different vectors): 0.0015
|
||
✅ Identical vectors have similarity ≈ 1.0
|
||
✅ Different vectors have lower similarity
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Implementation**: Normalized dot product with magnitude calculation
|
||

||
## 5. Integration Points
|
||
|
||
### Claude Flow Memory Space
|
||
|
||
**Database Path**: `.swarm/memory.db`
|
||
|
||
**Integration Strategy**:
|
||
- ✅ Extends existing `patterns` table with `type='reasoning_memory'`
|
||
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing memory system
|
||
- ✅ Shares `performance_metrics` table for unified observability
|
||
- ✅ Compatible with existing session state and namespace features
|
||
|
||
### Hooks Integration (Not Yet Implemented)
|
||
|
||
**Pre-Task Hook** (`hooks/pre-task.ts` - to be implemented):
|
||
1. Retrieve top-k relevant memories for task query
|
||
2. Inject memories into system prompt
|
||
3. Log retrieval metrics
|
||
|
||
**Post-Task Hook** (`hooks/post-task.ts` - to be implemented):
|
||
1. Capture trajectory from agent execution
|
||
2. Judge trajectory (Success/Failure)
|
||
3. Distill new memories from trajectory
|
||
4. Check consolidation trigger threshold
|
||
5. Run consolidation if needed
|
||
|
||
**Configuration**: Add to `.claude/settings.json`:
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"hooks": {
|
||
"preTaskHook": {
|
||
"command": "tsx",
|
||
"args": ["src/reasoningbank/hooks/pre-task.ts", "--task-id", "$TASK_ID", "--query", "$QUERY"],
|
||
"alwaysRun": true
|
||
},
|
||
"postTaskHook": {
|
||
"command": "tsx",
|
||
"args": ["src/reasoningbank/hooks/post-task.ts", "--task-id", "$TASK_ID"],
|
||
"alwaysRun": true
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 6. Dependencies

|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 8. Remaining Implementation
|
||
|
||
### Files Documented But Not Created
|
||
|
||
These 6 files are documented in `README.md` with implementation patterns:
|
||
|
||
1. **`core/judge.ts`** - LLM-as-judge implementation
|
||
- Load prompt template from `prompts/judge.json`
|
||
- Call Anthropic API with trajectory
|
||
- Parse verdict and store in `task_trajectories`
|
||
|
||
2. **`core/distill.ts`** - Memory extraction
|
||
- Load templates from `prompts/distill-*.json`
|
||
- Call Anthropic API with trajectory + verdict
|
||
- Extract 1-3 memories per trajectory
|
||
- Store with confidence priors
|
||
|
||
3. **`core/consolidate.ts`** - Deduplication and pruning
|
||
- Detect duplicates via cosine similarity > 0.87
|
||
- Detect contradictions via embeddings
|
||
- Prune old, unused memories (age > 180d, confidence < 0.4)
|
||
- Log consolidation run metrics
|
||
|
||
4. **`core/matts.ts`** - Memory-aware Test-Time Scaling
|
||
- **Parallel mode**: k independent rollouts with self-contrast
|
||
- **Sequential mode**: r iterative refinements
|
||
- Aggregate high-confidence patterns
|
||
- Boost confidence based on cross-trajectory evidence
|
||
|
||
5. **`hooks/pre-task.ts`** - Pre-task memory retrieval
|
||
- Call `retrieveMemories(query, { k, domain, agent })`
|
||
- Format memories as markdown
|
||
- Inject into system prompt via stdout
|
||
- Log retrieval metrics
|
||
|
||
6. **`hooks/post-task.ts`** - Post-task learning
|
||
- Capture trajectory from agent execution
|
||
- Call `judge(trajectory, query)`
|
||
- Call `distill(trajectory, verdict)`
|
||
- Check `countNewMemoriesSinceConsolidation()`
|
||
- If threshold reached, call `consolidate()`
|
||
|
||
### Implementation Effort
|
||
|
||
- **Estimated time**: 4-6 hours for experienced developer
|
||
- **Complexity**: Medium (requires Anthropic API integration)
|
||
- **Dependencies**: All infrastructure in place (DB, config, prompts)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 9. Security and Compliance
|
||
|
||
### PII Scrubbing (Configured, Not Implemented)
|
||
|
||
**Redaction Patterns** (from config):
|
||
- Email addresses: `\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b`
|
||
- SSN: `\b(?:\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}|\d{9})\b`
|
||
- API keys: `\b(?:sk-[a-zA-Z0-9]{48}|ghp_[a-zA-Z0-9]{36})\b`
|
||
- Slack tokens: `\b(?:xoxb-[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\b`
|
||
- Credit cards: `\b(?:\d{13,19})\b`
|
||
|
||
**Status**: Patterns defined, scrubbing logic to be implemented in `utils/pii-scrubber.ts`
|
||
|
||
### Multi-Tenant Support
|
||
|
||
**Status**: Schema includes `tenant_id` column (nullable)
|
||
**Configuration**: `governance.tenant_scoped = false` (disabled by default)
|
||
**To Enable**: Set flag to `true` and add tenant_id to all queries
|
||
|
||
### Audit Trail
|
||
|
||
**Configuration**: `governance.audit_trail = true`
|
||
**Storage**: All memory operations logged to `performance_metrics` table
|
||
**Metrics**: `rb.memory.upsert`, `rb.memory.retrieve`, `rb.memory.delete`
|
