paperclip-plugin-agentmemory

Memory-as-Skill plugin for Paperclip. Gives every agent persistent memory — recall context, observe decisions, and search history — with configurable token budget enforcement.

Features

• 3 Agent Tools — memory-recall, memory-observe, memory-search available to all agents
• Managed Skill — injects memory protocol into every agent automatically
• Curator Agent — consolidates observations, compresses history, cleans expired data
• Token Budget — memory injection capped at a configurable % of context window (default 40%)
• Knowledge Graph — optional entity/relation extraction via agentmemory
• Dashboard Widgets — health status + memory stats (memories count, graph nodes/edges)
• Settings Page — full configuration UI (connection, budget, curator, graph toggles)

Requirements

• A Paperclip instance with plugin runtime
• A running agentmemory service (default http://127.0.0.1:3111)

Installation

Via Paperclip UI

1. Open your Paperclip instance in the browser
2. Go to Settings > Plugins
3. Click Install Plugin
4. Enter the package name: paperclip-plugin-agentmemory
5. Click Install
6. After installation, go to Settings > Agent Memory to configure the connection

Via CLI

# Install from npm
paperclip plugin install paperclip-plugin-agentmemory

# Verify installation
paperclip plugin inspect customizar.agentmemory

# Or install with explicit API base
paperclip plugin install paperclip-plugin-agentmemory --api-base http://127.0.0.1:3100

From Source (local development)

git clone https://github.com/gauderp/paperclip-plugin-agentmemory.git
cd paperclip-plugin-agentmemory
npm install
npm run build
npm test

# Install locally into your Paperclip instance
paperclip plugin install "$(pwd)"

Configuration

After installing, configure the plugin under Settings > Agent Memory in the Paperclip UI.

How It Works

Agent Memory Protocol

Every agent receives a managed skill that teaches the memory protocol:

1. At task start — call memory-recall with a description of the task. The agent receives relevant prior context (decisions, patterns, failures) without re-reading files or re-investigating.

2. During work — call memory-observe to capture:

   • "decision" — architectural or design decisions
   • "discovery" — non-obvious findings
   • "pattern" — recurring patterns identified
   • "failure" — unexpected failures and root causes

3. When in doubt — call memory-search to check "have we tried this before?" or "how did we solve X?"

Budget Engine

The budget engine ensures memory never overwhelms the context window:

availableBudget = (contextWindow × budgetPercent) - toolOverhead

Results from memory-recall are ranked by relevance and truncated at the budget. The agent receives tokenCount so it knows exactly how much context was consumed.

Curator Agent

A managed curator agent runs periodically (configurable) and after issues are completed:

• Consolidates raw observations into compact crystals
• Compresses history via flow compression
• Auto-forgets observations older than the configured threshold
• Garbage-collects unpromoted sketches
• Extracts knowledge graph entities/relations (if enabled)

Agent Tools Reference

memory-recall

Recall relevant context from persistent memory before starting a task.

Input:  { query: string, project?: string, maxTokens?: number }
Output: { context: string, tokenCount: number, sources: string[] }

memory-observe

Store an observation into persistent memory.

Input:  { observation: string, category: "decision"|"discovery"|"pattern"|"failure", project?: string }
Output: { stored: boolean, id: string }

memory-search

Search persistent memory for specific information.

Input:  { query: string, project?: string, limit?: number }
Output: { results: Array<{ content: string, score: number, source: string }> }

Development

npm run dev        # Watch mode (rebuilds on change)
npm run build      # Production build
npm test           # Run tests (vitest)
npm run typecheck  # TypeScript check

Windows (agentmemory sidecar)

On Windows, prefer 127.0.0.1 over localhost (Node may resolve to ::1 while the service binds 127.0.0.1).

# Start agentmemory and wait for health
npm run start:windows

# Smoke test (health, observe, search)
npm run verify:windows

Set AGENTMEMORY_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3111 when running outside these scripts.
