Clude Bot
Molecular Memory for AI agents. Not just storage — synthesis.
"From thought to proof. Where memories crystallize into knowledge."
Built on Stanford Generative Agents, MemGPT/Letta, CoALA, Beads, Mole-Syn (molecular reasoning), and Venice (permissionless inference).
Why Molecular Memory?
Traditional memory systems scan all memories on every query — O(n) complexity. Molecular Memory uses graph traversal — O(k) where k ≈ 3-5 bonds.
| Metric | Traditional | Molecular | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retrieval (1000 memories) | ~1000ms | ~16ms | 60x faster |
| Context coherence | Scattered | Clustered | Better answers |
| Dream cycle | Full scan | Graph algo | 30-50% fewer LLM calls |

npm install clude-botQuick Start — Hosted (Zero Setup)
npx clude-bot register # Get your API keyimport { Cortex } from 'clude-bot';
const brain = new Cortex({
hosted: { apiKey: process.env.CORTEX_API_KEY! },
});
await brain.init();
// Store a memory
await brain.store({
type: 'episodic',
content: 'User asked about pricing and seemed frustrated with the current plan.',
summary: 'Frustrated user asking about pricing',
tags: ['pricing', 'user-concern'],
importance: 0.7,
source: 'my-agent',
});
// Recall relevant memories
const memories = await brain.recall({
query: 'what do users think about pricing',
limit: 5,
});
console.log(`Recalled ${memories.length} memories`);That's it. No database, no infrastructure. Memories are stored on CLUDE infrastructure, isolated by your API key.
Quick Start — Self-Hosted (Your Supabase)
For full control, use your own Supabase:
import { Cortex } from 'clude-bot';
const brain = new Cortex({
supabase: {
url: process.env.SUPABASE_URL!,
serviceKey: process.env.SUPABASE_KEY!,
},
anthropic: {
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
},
});
await brain.init();
await brain.store({
type: 'episodic',
content: 'User asked about pricing and seemed frustrated with the current plan.',
summary: 'Frustrated user asking about pricing',
tags: ['pricing', 'user-concern'],
importance: 0.7,
source: 'my-agent',
relatedUser: 'user-123',
});
const memories = await brain.recall({
query: 'what do users think about pricing',
limit: 5,
});
const context = brain.formatContext(memories);
// Pass `context` into your system prompt so the LLM knows what it remembersExamples
See the examples/ folder for runnable scripts:
- hosted-mode.ts — Zero-setup with just an API key (hosted mode)
- basic-memory.ts — Store and recall with Supabase (self-hosted)
- chat-agent.ts — Interactive chat agent with memory and dream cycles
- progressive-disclosure.ts — Token-efficient retrieval with

1. Create a Supabase project
Go to supabase.com and create a free project.
2. Run the schema
Open the SQL Editor in your Supabase dashboard and paste the contents of supabase-schema.sql:
# Find the schema file
cat node_modules/clude-bot/supabase-schema.sqlOr let brain.init() attempt auto-creation (requires an exec_sql RPC function in your Supabase project).
3. Enable extensions
In your Supabase SQL Editor:
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;4. Get your keys
- Supabase URL + service key: Project Settings > API
- Anthropic API key: console.anthropic.com (optional for basic store/recall, required for dream cycles)
- Voyage AI or OpenAI key: For vector search (optional, falls back to keyword scoring)

},
// Optional — commits memory hashes to Solana
solana: {
rpcUrl?: string,

ownerWallet?: string,
});brain.init()
Initialize the database schema. Call once before any other operation.
await brain.init();brain.store(opts)
Store a new memory. Returns the memory ID or null.
const id = await brain.store({
type: 'episodic', // 'episodic' | 'semantic' | 'procedural' | 'self_model'
content: 'Full content of the memory...',
summary: 'Brief summary',
source: 'my-agent',
tags: ['user', 'question'],
importance: 0.7, // 0-1, or omit for LLM-based scoring
relatedUser: 'user-123', // optional — enables per-user recall
emotionalValence: 0.3, // optional — -1 (negative) to 1 (positive)
evidenceIds: [42, 43], // optional — link to source memories
});Memory types:
| Type | Decay/day | Use for |
|---|---|---|
episodic |
7% | Raw interactions, conversations, events |
semantic |
2% | Learned knowledge, patterns, insights |
procedural |
3% | Behavioral rules, what works/doesn't |
self_model |
1% | Identity, self-understanding |
brain.recall(opts)
Recall memories using hybrid scoring (vector similarity + keyword matching + tag overlap + importance + entity graph + association bonds).
const memories = await brain.recall({
query: 'what happened with user-123',
tags: ['pricing'],
relatedUser: 'user-123',
memoryTypes: ['episodic', 'semantic'],
limit: 10,
minImportance: 0.3,
});6-phase retrieval pipeline:
- Vector search (memory + fragment level via pgvector)
- Metadata filtering (user, wallet, tags, types)
- Merge vector + metadata candidates
- Composite scoring (recency + relevance + importance + vector similarity) * decay
- Entity-aware expansion — direct entity recall + co-occurring entity memories
- Bond-typed graph traversal — follow strong bonds (causes > supports > resolves > elaborates > contradicts > relates > follows)
Recalled memories get their access count incremented and decay reset. Co-retrieved memories strengthen their association links (Hebbian learning).
brain.recallSummaries(opts)
Token-efficient recall — returns lightweight summaries (~50 tokens each) instead of full content.
const summaries = await brain.recallSummaries({ query: 'recent events' });
// Each has: id, summary, type, tags, concepts, importance, decay, created_atbrain.hydrate(ids)
Fetch full content for specific memory IDs. Use with recallSummaries for progressive disclosure.
const summaries = await brain.recallSummaries({ query: 'important' });
const topIds = summaries.slice(0, 3).map(s => s.id);
const full = await brain.hydrate(topIds);brain.dream(opts?)
Run one dream cycle. Requires anthropic config.
await brain.dream({
onEmergence: async (thought) => {
console.log('Agent thought:', thought);
// Post to Discord, save to file, etc.
},
});Five phases:
- Consolidation — generates focal-point questions from recent memories, synthesizes evidence-linked insights
- Compaction — summarizes old, faded episodic memories into semantic summaries (Beads-inspired)
- Reflection — reviews accumulated knowledge, updates self-model with evidence citations
- Contradiction Resolution — finds unresolved
contradictslinks, Claude analyzes each pair and stores a resolved belief withresolveslinks, accelerates decay on the weaker memory - Emergence — introspective synthesis, output sent to
onEmergencecallback
brain.startDreamSchedule() / brain.stopDreamSchedule()
Automated dream cycles every 6 hours + daily memory decay at 3am UTC. Also triggers on accumulated importance (event-driven reflection).
brain.startDreamSchedule();
// ... later
brain.stopDreamSchedule();brain.link(sourceId, targetId, type, strength?)
Create a typed association between two memories.
await brain.link(42, 43, 'supports', 0.8);Link types: 'supports' | 'contradicts' | 'elaborates' | 'causes' | 'follows' | 'relates' | 'resolves'
brain.decay()
Manually trigger memory decay. Each type decays at its own rate per day.
const decayed = await brain.decay();
console.log(`${decayed} memories decayed`);brain.stats()
Get memory system statistics.
const stats = await brain.stats();
// { total, byType, avgImportance, avgDecay, totalDreamSessions, ... }brain.recent(hours, types?, limit?)
Get recent memories from the last N hours.
const last24h = await brain.recent(24);
const recentInsights = await brain.recent(168, ['semantic'], 10);brain.selfModel()
Get the agent's current self-model memories.
const identity = await brain.selfModel();brain.formatContext(memories)
Format memories into a markdown string for LLM prompt injection.
const memories = await brain.recall({ query: userMessage });
const context = brain.formatContext(memories);
// Use in your LLM call:
const response = await anthropic.messages.create({
system: `You are a helpful agent.\n\n## Memory\n${context}`,
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: userMessage }],
});brain.inferConcepts(summary, source, tags)
Auto-classify memory content into structured concepts.
const concepts = brain.inferConcepts('User frustrated about pricing', 'chat', ['pricing']);
// ['holder_behavior', 'sentiment_shift']brain.on(event, handler)
Listen for memory events.
brain.on('memory:stored', ({ importance, memoryType }) => {
console.log(`New ${memoryType} memory stored (importance: ${importance})`);
});brain.destroy()
Stop dream schedules, clean up event listeners.
Hosted vs Self-Hosted
| Hosted | Self-Hosted | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Just an API key | Your own Supabase |
| store / recall / stats | Yes | Yes |
| recent / self-model / link | Yes | Yes |
| Dream cycles | No | Yes (requires Anthropic) |
| Entity graph | No | Yes |
| Memory packs | No | Yes |
| Embeddings | Managed | Configurable (Voyage/OpenAI) |
| On-chain commits | No | Yes (Solana) |
| Dashboard | Yes (API key login) | Yes (Privy wallet login) |
Graceful Degradation
The self-hosted SDK progressively enhances based on config:
| Feature | Without it |
|---|---|
anthropic not set |
LLM importance scoring falls back to rules. dream() throws. |
embedding not set |
Vector search disabled, recall uses keyword + tag scoring only. |
solana not set |
On-chain memory commits silently skipped. |
Minimum viable setup — hosted mode:
const brain = new Cortex({
hosted: { apiKey: 'clk_...' },
});Minimum self-hosted — just Supabase:
const brain = new Cortex({
supabase: { url: '...', serviceKey: '...' },
});Both give you full store/recall with keyword-based retrieval. Self-hosted adds dream cycles, embeddings, and on-chain commits.
Example: Chat Agent with Memory
import { Cortex } from 'clude-bot';
import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';
const brain = new Cortex({
supabase: { url: process.env.SUPABASE_URL!, serviceKey: process.env.SUPABASE_KEY! },
anthropic: { apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
embedding: { provider: 'voyage', apiKey: process.env.VOYAGE_API_KEY! },
});
await brain.init();
brain.startDreamSchedule();
const anthropic = new Anthropic();
async function handleMessage(userId: string, message: string): Promise<string> {
// Recall relevant memories
const memories = await brain.recall({
query: message,
relatedUser: userId,
limit: 5,
});
// Generate response with memory context
const response = await anthropic.messages.create({
model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929',
max_tokens: 500,
system: `You are a helpful assistant.\n\n## What you remember\n${brain.formatContext(memories)}`,
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: message }],
});
const reply = response.content[0].type === 'text' ? response.content[0].text : '';
// Store this interaction as a memory
await brain.store({
type: 'episodic',
content: `User (${userId}): ${message}\nAssistant: ${reply}`,
summary: `Conversation with ${userId} about ${message.slice(0, 50)}`,
source: 'chat',
relatedUser: userId,
tags: brain.inferConcepts(message, 'chat', []),
});
return reply;
}How It Works
Memory Retrieval
Hybrid scoring combines multiple signals (Park et al. 2023):
- Recency:
0.995^hoursexponential decay since last access - Relevance: Keyword trigram similarity + tag overlap
- Importance: LLM-scored 1-10, normalized to 0-1
- Vector similarity: Cosine similarity via pgvector HNSW indexes
- Graph boost: Association link strength between co-retrieved memories
Recalled memories get reinforced — access count increments, decay resets, and co-retrieved memories strengthen their links (Hebbian learning).
Memory Decay
Each type persists at a different rate, mimicking biological memory:
- Episodic (0.93/day): Events fade quickly unless reinforced
- Semantic (0.98/day): Knowledge persists
- Procedural (0.97/day): Behavioral patterns are stable
- Self-model (0.99/day): Identity is nearly permanent
Hash-Based IDs (Beads-inspired)
Every memory gets a collision-resistant ID like clude-a1b2c3d4:
- No merge conflicts: Multiple agents can create memories simultaneously without ID collisions
- Stable references: IDs survive database migrations and replication
- Human-readable: Easy to reference in logs and debugging
Memory Compaction (Beads-inspired)
Old, faded memories get summarized to save context window space:
Criteria for compaction:
- Memory is older than 7 days
- Decay factor < 0.3 (faded from disuse)
- Importance < 0.5 (not critical)
- Only episodic memories (insights and self-model are preserved)
Process:
- Group candidates by concept
- Generate semantic summary for each group
- Store summary with evidence links to originals
- Mark originals as compacted
This mimics how human memory consolidates — details fade, patterns persist.
Dream Cycles
Five-phase introspection process triggered by accumulated importance or 6-hour cron:
- Consolidation — Generate focal-point questions from recent episodic memories, synthesize evidence-linked semantic insights
- Compaction — Summarize old, faded episodic memories (7+ days, low importance, high decay) into semantic summaries. Originals marked as compacted.
- Reflection — Review self-model + recent semantic memories. Produce self-observations with evidence citations. Detect patterns and contradictions.
- Contradiction Resolution — Find unresolved
contradictslinks via graph query. Claude analyzes each pair, stores a resolved belief as semantic memory withresolveslinks. Accelerates decay on the weaker/older memory. - Emergence — Introspective synthesis — the agent examines its own existence. Optionally posts the thought externally via
onEmergencecallback.
Molecular Memory Architecture
Memories form a graph with typed bonds:
Memory Graph:
├── Memories = nodes with type, importance, decay
├── Bonds = typed weighted edges
│ ├── causes (1.0) — "this led to that"
│ ├── supports (0.9) — "evidence for"
│ ├── resolves (0.8) — "contradiction resolved"
│ ├── elaborates (0.7) — "adds detail"
│ ├── contradicts (0.6) — "these conflict"
│ ├── relates (0.4) — "conceptually linked"
│ └── follows (0.3) — "temporal sequence"
├── Entities = extracted people, tokens, concepts, wallets
└── Co-occurrence = entities that appear together across memoriesWhy it's faster: Traditional retrieval scans all memories — O(n). Bond traversal follows strong connections — O(k) where k ≈ 3-5.
Permissionless Inference (Venice)
Clude supports Venice as a decentralized inference provider:
const brain = new Cortex({
supabase: { ... },
venice: {
apiKey: process.env.VENICE_API_KEY,
model: 'llama-3.3-70b', // or deepseek-r1, qwen, etc.
},
inference: {
primary: 'venice', // Use Venice first
fallback: 'anthropic', // Fall back to Claude if needed
},
});Why Venice?
- Permissionless: No approval process, no rate limits
- Private: No data retention — your prompts stay yours
- Decentralized: Matches Clude's on-chain memory philosophy
- Multi-model: Access Claude, GPT, Llama, DeepSeek, and more
Set INFERENCE_PRIMARY=venice and VENICE_API_KEY to use Venice by default.
Association Graph & Entity Knowledge Graph
Memory-to-memory bonds — typed, weighted links:
supports,contradicts,elaborates,causes,follows,relates,resolves- Auto-linked on storage via embedding similarity and heuristics
- Strengthened through co-retrieval (Hebbian learning)
- Boosts recall scores for connected memories
contradictslinks are resolved during dream cycles, producingresolveslinks
Entity knowledge graph — extracted from memory content:
- Entity types: person, project, concept, token, wallet, location, event
- Entities extracted automatically (Twitter handles, wallet addresses, token tickers, proper nouns)
- Entity co-occurrence drives recall expansion — when recalling about an entity, memories from co-occurring entities are surfaced with a scaled boost
