This document is the single source of truth for the Mnemon memory -> harness design. It is written for both humans and agents: a capable agent -> should be able to read this file and install Mnemon into its own runtime. - -## Purpose - -Mnemon is not an agent runtime. It is an external memory harness around an -agent runtime. - -The runtime still talks to the user, plans, edits files, runs commands, and -makes semantic judgments. Mnemon provides durable memory, a stable memory -protocol, and lifecycle reminders that help the runtime use memory across -sessions. - -```text -Runtime does the work. -Mnemon preserves experience, recalls experience, and constrains the memory protocol. -``` - -The harness should stay simple: - -- **Skill first.** The agent learns Mnemon through markdown instructions and - command examples. -- **Guideline driven.** The agent receives one memory policy that explains when - to recall, remember, link, forget, or do nothing. -- **Hook assisted.** Four lifecycle reminders keep the guideline active at the - right moments. -- **Protocol constrained.** The agent makes semantic decisions; Mnemon provides - deterministic commands, structured output, provenance, deduplication, and - lifecycle operations. -- **Markdown evolved.** Stable experience can become reviewed markdown assets: - skills, guidelines, install notes, rules, contracts, or eval cases. - -## Non-Goals - -Mnemon should not become: - -- a full agent runtime -- a workflow engine -- a large adapter framework -- an automatic prompt-injection system -- an append-only memory dump -- a vector database wrapper -- a self-modifying agent without review - -Different runtimes do not need a custom Mnemon adapter before they can use the -harness. If a runtime can read instructions, run commands, and optionally attach -hooks or rules, it can install Mnemon by following this document. - -## Harness Shape - -The harness has four conceptual assets. - -| Asset | Purpose | -|---|---| -| **Mnemon binary** | Executes deterministic memory operations through `remember`, `recall`, `link`, and lifecycle commands | -| **Skill** | Teaches the agent what commands exist and how to call them | -| **Guideline** | Teaches the agent when memory is useful, what is worth writing, and how to avoid noise | -| **Hooks** | Remind the agent to apply the guideline at session start, task start, task end, and compaction | - -These assets can be installed as skill files, rules, system instructions, -plugin docs, hook scripts, or any runtime-specific equivalent. The installation -format is less important than preserving the behavior. - -## Markdown Contract - -The durable harness layer should be mostly markdown. A runtime-specific adapter -is optional convenience, not the core design. - -The canonical installation package should be expressible as three readable -files: - -| File | Primary Reader | Responsibility | -|---|---|---| -| `SKILL.md` | Agent | Command syntax, examples, available operations, output interpretation, and guardrails | -| [`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md) | Agent or human installer | How to install the skill, guideline, and four hook phases in the target runtime | -| [`GUIDELINE.md`](GUIDELINE.md) | Agent | Memory judgment: when to recall, remember, link, forget, supersede, or skip | - -This `HARNESS.md` is the design source of truth. `INSTALL.md` and -`GUIDELINE.md` are the installable runtime artifacts derived from it. They -should stay small enough for an agent to read in one pass. - -### Why This Shape - -Modern agent systems already treat markdown as executable operating context: -project instructions, skills, rules, hooks, slash commands, and memory summaries -are all plain text assets that the model can read and adapt to. Mnemon should -lean into that pattern instead of creating a heavy adapter layer for every -runtime. - -The important boundary is: - -```text -Markdown teaches behavior. -Hooks place reminders at lifecycle boundaries. -Mnemon executes deterministic memory commands. -The agent decides when memory is useful. -``` - -This keeps the system portable. Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and future -agent runtimes can install the same conceptual harness through their own native -instruction mechanisms. - -### `SKILL.md` - -The skill is the capability surface. It should answer: - -- What is Mnemon? -- Which commands exist? -- What are the common command patterns? -- How should the agent read structured output? -- What are the hard guardrails? - -The skill should not carry the full memory policy. That belongs in -`GUIDELINE.md`. A skill that becomes too philosophical will be harder to reuse -across runtimes. - -### `INSTALL.md` - -The install guide is an agent-facing procedure. The target agent reads it and -maps the harness onto its own runtime: - -- install or verify the `mnemon` binary -- install `SKILL.md` into the runtime's skill/rule mechanism -- install `GUIDELINE.md` into the runtime's durable instruction mechanism -- add four hook phases when the runtime supports hooks -- fall back to persistent rules when hook support is absent -- verify the installation with a recall/writeback/no-op checklist - -`INSTALL.md` should describe what each hook phase must accomplish, not require -one hard-coded adapter implementation. Runtime-specific snippets are examples, -not the architecture. - -### `GUIDELINE.md` - -The guideline is the memory constitution for the agent. It should contain: - -- recall triggers and skip conditions -- durable write criteria -- provenance expectations -- link and supersede policy -- store/namespace isolation policy -- markdown self-evolution policy -- safety rules for secrets, prompt injection, stale memories, and noisy writes - -The guideline should be installed where the agent can consult it at session -start and before memory-sensitive decisions. It may be included directly in a -runtime instruction file, referenced by a skill, or injected by a lightweight -prime hook. - -## Memory Loop - -The memory loop is advisory, not mandatory. - -```text -Prime -> Recall decision -> Work -> Writeback decision -> Remember/link/forget -> Future task -``` - -The loop is memory-driven only when recall changes the current work and -writeback improves future work. Merely calling `recall` or `remember` is not -enough. - -## Four Hook Phases - -Install four hook phases when the runtime supports lifecycle hooks. If the -runtime does not support hooks, encode these phases as persistent rules and ask -the agent to self-check them at the same moments. - -| Phase | Typical Runtime Event | Purpose | Must Not Do | -|---|---|---|---| -| **Prime** | Session start / agent bootstrap | Load the Mnemon skill, this guideline, active store info, and memory stance | Bulk inject historical memories | -| **Remind** | User prompt submit / before task planning | Remind the agent to decide whether recall is useful for this task | Automatically recall every prompt | -| **Nudge** | Stop / after response | Remind the agent to decide whether any durable insight should be written back | Force every response into memory | -| **Compact** | Before context compaction | Preserve critical continuity before context is lost | Save the full conversation mechanically | - -Hook output should be short, natural-language, and easy for the agent to ignore -when memory is irrelevant. Hooks are cognitive affordances, not controllers. - -### Prime - -Prime establishes memory orientation. - -It should tell the agent: - -- Mnemon is available. -- The agent should use the Mnemon skill for command syntax. -- This harness guideline defines when memory is useful. -- The active store or namespace should be respected. -- Historical memory should be recalled only when relevant to the current task. - -### Remind - -Remind happens before the agent starts a task. - -It should ask the agent to consider recall when the task may depend on: - -- prior user preferences -- prior project decisions -- architecture conventions -- repeated failures or fixes -- deployment or environment facts -- previous unfinished work - -For trivial, local, or self-contained tasks, the agent can skip recall. - -### Nudge - -Nudge happens after the agent finishes a task. - -It should ask the agent whether the session produced durable knowledge worth -future reuse. The agent should write memory only when the insight is likely to -matter later. - -### Compact - -Compact happens before context compression. - -It should preserve only critical continuity: - -- open decisions -- user preferences that changed the work -- unresolved blockers -- important implementation facts -- commands or workflows that future agents must repeat or avoid - -## Memory Guideline - -The guideline is the behavioral policy every agent should follow. - -### Recall - -Recall when prior experience can plausibly change the current task. - -Good recall triggers: - -- The user refers to previous work, a prior decision, or an established - preference. -- The task touches architecture, release, deployment, integrations, or long-lived - project conventions. -- The agent is resuming after a long gap or context compaction. -- The task is likely to repeat a known failure mode. -- The user asks for consistency with prior style, strategy, or policy. - -Weak recall triggers: - -- A simple one-off command. -- A purely local code edit with clear current context. -- A question answered completely by the visible repository or current prompt. - -Recall results are evidence, not authority. Current user instructions, current -repository state, and verified sources override stale memory. - -### Remember - -Remember only durable insights. - -Good memory candidates: - -- stable user preferences -- project conventions -- architecture or product decisions -- repeated failure modes and fixes -- non-obvious setup or deployment facts -- constraints that future agents should respect -- decisions that supersede older decisions - -Poor memory candidates: - -- secrets, credentials, tokens, or private data -- transient progress updates -- raw conversation logs -- unverified assumptions -- facts that are already obvious from source files -- noisy implementation details unlikely to matter again - -Each durable write should include enough provenance for a future agent to judge -whether the memory still applies. - -Recommended provenance: - -- `source`: user, agent, system, repo, docs, command output -- `source_ref`: file path, command, issue, PR, conversation, or hook phase -- `reason`: why this is worth remembering -- `confidence`: how reliable the insight is -- `evidence`: concrete supporting reference when available -- `scope`: project, user, runtime, or global - -### Link - -Link memories when the relationship is useful for future recall. - -Useful links: - -- a decision supersedes another decision -- a failure is caused by a specific setup or dependency -- a preference applies to a project or runtime -- a workflow depends on a tool, file, or environment -- two memories should be recalled together - -Do not create links just because two memories are vaguely similar. - -### Forget And Supersede - -Memory must evolve. - -When a memory becomes outdated, prefer superseding or soft deletion over adding -another conflicting memory. A future agent should be able to tell which decision -is current. - -Use lifecycle operations when: - -- a stored decision is now wrong -- a preference changed -- an implementation detail no longer matches the repository -- a memory is too noisy or too broad -- a stronger memory replaces a weaker one - -### Scope And Isolation - -Default to project-scoped memory. Use global memory only for stable user -preferences or cross-project practices that are clearly safe to share. - -Do not let one project's architecture assumptions silently guide another -project. If a runtime supports namespaces or stores, install Mnemon with an -explicit store strategy. - -## Installation - -Installation is an agent task. Give this document to the target agent and ask it -to install Mnemon into its own runtime using the closest available mechanism. - -The preferred user flow is: - -```text -1. Give the target agent INSTALL.md. -2. INSTALL.md tells the agent where SKILL.md and GUIDELINE.md are. -3. The agent installs those files into its own native instruction system. -4. The agent adds the four hook phases if its runtime supports hooks. -5. The agent verifies behavior with small recall/writeback/no-op checks. -``` - -This means Mnemon does not need a dedicated adapter before a runtime can use it. -An adapter or `mnemon setup --target ` command may automate the same -steps later, but the architecture should remain understandable and installable -from markdown alone. - -### Prerequisites - -The target machine should have the `mnemon` binary available: - -```bash -mnemon --version -``` - -If missing, install it with one of the project-supported methods: - -```bash -brew install mnemon-dev/tap/mnemon -``` - -or: - -```bash -go install github.com/mnemon-dev/mnemon@latest -``` - -### Install The Skill - -Install a skill, rule, or instruction file that teaches the agent: - -- Mnemon is an external memory tool. -- The core protocol is `remember`, `recall`, `link`, and lifecycle commands. -- The agent should inspect structured command output instead of guessing. -- The agent should follow this harness guideline for memory decisions. - -The skill should stay focused on command syntax and capability. The guideline in -this document owns judgment policy. - -### Install The Guideline - -Install this document, or the Memory Guideline section of it, into the runtime's -persistent instruction mechanism. - -Valid forms include: - -- a skill reference -- a rules file -- a project instruction file -- a plugin guide -- a system prompt section -- a checked-in repository document that the runtime loads at startup - -The guideline should be visible enough that the agent can apply it without the -user repeating memory instructions in every session. - -### Install The Hooks - -If the runtime supports hooks, install four lightweight hooks: - -| Hook | Required Behavior | -|---|---| -| Prime | Tell the agent to load Mnemon skill/guideline and respect the active store | -| Remind | Before task work, ask whether recall is useful | -| Nudge | After task work, ask whether writeback is useful | -| Compact | Before compaction, preserve only critical continuity | - -Hook scripts may print natural-language reminders. They do not need to run -heavy memory operations themselves. - -Hook scripts also do not need to be identical across runtimes. The required -contract is the phase behavior, not the script body. For example: - -- Codex can use hooks plus `AGENTS.md`, skills, or local instructions. -- Claude Code can use `CLAUDE.md`, skills, slash commands, settings hooks, or - project/user memory files. -- OpenClaw can use plugin hooks and skills, but Mnemon should not require an - OpenClaw-specific memory engine. -- Skill-first runtimes can express most behavior directly as skills, memory - guidance, and lightweight reminders. - -If a runtime lacks hooks, use rules or persistent instructions that simulate the -same checks: - -```text -At task start, decide whether Mnemon recall is useful. -At task end, decide whether durable memory writeback is useful. -Before compaction, preserve critical continuity. -``` - -### Verify Installation - -An installation is acceptable when the agent can: - -1. Explain when it should recall and when it should skip recall. -2. Run `mnemon recall` for a relevant task. -3. Write a durable memory with provenance. -4. Avoid writing memory for a trivial task. -5. Preserve critical state before compaction if the runtime exposes that event. - -## Evaluation - -The harness is working when: - -- recall improves task continuity or decision quality -- writeback produces future value -- memory volume stays controlled -- stale memories can be superseded -- project stores do not pollute one another -- the agent can explain why it recalled or remembered something - -The harness is failing when: - -- hooks force memory into every task -- the agent saves ordinary chat as memory -- old memory overrides current repository facts -- memory grows faster than recall quality -- global memory leaks project-specific assumptions - -## Lightweight Self-Evolution - -Self-evolution should start as a lightweight markdown loop, not a heavy -framework. - -The formal modular self-evolution harness docs live in -[Mnemon Harness](../harness/README.md). Historical v0.2 architecture remains in -[Self-Evolution Harness Archive](../design/self-evolution-harness/SELF_EVOLUTION_HARNESS.md). - -Mnemon should not automatically rewrite runtime behavior. It should help the -agent notice repeated experience, preserve evidence, and propose markdown -changes that a human or repository review can accept. - -```text -experience - -> Mnemon memory - -> LLM reflection - -> markdown candidate - -> diff / PR / human review - -> installed skill, guideline, rule, contract, or eval -``` - -This is the practical path because LLM agents already understand markdown -instructions well. Skills, rules, install guides, and harness guidelines are -cheap to write, inspect, diff, review, and revert. - -### What Evolves - -The first evolution targets should be text assets: - -| Asset | Evolves When | Example | -|---|---|---| -| **Skill** | A repeated procedure works across tasks | A release workflow, migration workflow, review workflow | -| **Guideline** | A memory policy needs sharper judgment | "Do not remember one-off deployment IPs unless the user says they are stable" | -| **Install Note** | A runtime integration pattern becomes reliable | How to install the four hook phases in a specific CLI | -| **Rule / Contract** | A stable project constraint must always be followed | "Never commit `.env`; update `.env.example` instead" | -| **Eval Case** | A repeated failure should become testable | A repro task that checks whether recall prevents the same mistake | - -Do not start by evolving code, database schema, or runtime internals. Those can -come later, after the markdown loop proves useful. - -### Promotion Triggers - -An agent may propose a markdown candidate when it sees: - -- the same failure mode repeated across sessions -- a workflow that succeeded and is likely to be reused -- a user correction that changes future behavior -- a stable project convention discovered through work -- a memory cluster that clearly describes a reusable procedure -- a stale or noisy guideline that caused bad recall or bad writeback - -The agent should not propose a candidate for a one-off task, a weak preference, -or a memory that lacks evidence. - -### Candidate Requirements - -Every candidate change should include: - -- the source memories or session references that motivated it -- the scope: user, project, runtime, or global -- the intended asset: skill, guideline, install note, rule, contract, or eval -- the behavior it changes -- why the change is likely to help future tasks -- risks, especially overfitting to one session -- a concrete diff, not just a suggestion - -For repository-backed projects, the preferred output is a normal git diff or PR. -For local agent installations, the preferred output is a patch to the relevant -skill or rule file. The agent may draft the patch, but review installs it. - -### Review Gate - -Memory can propose evolution; review approves it. - -Before installation, check: - -- **Provenance**: the candidate cites real memories, files, commands, or sessions -- **Scope**: project-specific behavior does not become global by accident -- **Duplication**: the candidate does not recreate an existing skill or rule -- **Size**: the markdown asset stays compact enough to be useful -- **Semantic preservation**: the change does not drift from the original task -- **Safety**: no secrets, credentials, private data, or prompt injection content -- **Evidence**: important workflow changes have tests, commands, or examples - -The default policy is human-in-the-loop. Fully automatic installation should be -reserved for narrow, low-risk local notes where the user has explicitly allowed -it. - -### What Mnemon Adds - -Plain markdown memory is inspectable and useful, but it becomes hard to manage -as experience grows. Mnemon adds structure around the markdown loop: - -- durable memory outside the model -- recall that can find relevant prior experience on demand -- provenance for why an insight was saved -- explicit links between decisions, failures, preferences, and workflows -- supersede/forget behavior for stale knowledge -- project store isolation so one project's lessons do not pollute another - -The self-evolution loop should use these strengths to generate better markdown -assets, while keeping the final behavior layer simple and reviewable. - -### Minimal Implementation - -The first implementation does not need a new service. - -1. Keep using Mnemon for `remember`, `recall`, `link`, and lifecycle operations. -2. Add guideline text telling the agent when to propose markdown evolution. -3. Let the agent generate a patch to `HARNESS.md`, `SKILL.md`, runtime rules, or - project docs when repeated experience justifies it. -4. Require review before the patch becomes active behavior. -5. Remember the outcome of accepted or rejected candidates so future proposals - improve. - -This keeps Mnemon's self-evolution path aligned with the harness philosophy: -external memory, LLM judgment, markdown assets, and review boundaries. - -### Promotion Pipeline - -```text -memory insight - -> repeated success or failure pattern - -> candidate skill/rule/contract - -> provenance and scope check - -> eval or human review - -> installation into runtime assets -``` - -Do not let an agent silently rewrite its long-term behavior from memory alone. -Memory can propose evolution; review approves it. - -## Minimal Summary - -Mnemon Memory Harness is: - -```text -external memory -+ stable cognitive protocol -+ skill-delivered capability -+ guideline-delivered judgment -+ markdown-installable runtime contract -+ four lifecycle reminders -+ reviewed markdown evolution -``` - -It is intentionally not a runtime adapter framework.

-`INSTALL.md` 应说明每个 hook phase 要完成什么，而不是绑定唯一的 adapter 实现。runtime-specific snippet 是例子，不是架构本身。 - -### `GUIDELINE.md` - -Guideline 是 agent 的记忆宪法。它应包含： - -- recall 触发条件和跳过条件 -- durable write 判断标准 -- provenance 要求 -- link 与 supersede 策略 -- store/namespace 隔离策略 -- Markdown 自进化策略 -- 针对 secret、prompt injection、陈旧记忆和噪音写入的安全规则 -

-### Remind - -Remind 发生在 agent 开始任务之前。 - -它应要求 agent 在任务可能依赖以下内容时考虑 recall： - -- 先前用户偏好 -- 先前项目决策 -- 架构约定 -- 重复失败或修复经验 -- 部署或环境事实 -- 之前未完成的工作 - -对于简单、本地、上下文已经充分的任务，agent 可以跳过 recall。 - -### Nudge - -Nudge 发生在 agent 完成任务之后。 - -它应要求 agent 判断本次 session 是否产生了未来值得复用的 durable knowledge。只有当 insight 未来可能再次有用时，agent 才应写入 memory。 - -### Compact - -Compact 发生在上下文压缩之前。 - -它只应保留关键连续性： - -- 尚未关闭的决策 -- 影响工作的用户偏好 -- 未解决的 blocker -- 重要实现事实 -- 未来 agent 必须重复或避免的命令和 workflow -

-### Link - -当关系对未来 recall 有用时，建立 link。 - -有用的 link： - -- 一个决策 supersede 另一个决策 -- 一个失败由特定 setup 或依赖导致 -- 一个偏好适用于某个项目或 runtime -- 一个 workflow 依赖某个工具、文件或环境 -- 两条记忆未来应一起被召回 - -不要仅仅因为两条记忆语义上有点相似就创建 link。 - -### Forget 与 Supersede - -Memory 必须演化。 - -当一条 memory 过期时，优先 supersede 或软删除，而不是继续追加冲突记忆。未来 agent 应能判断哪个决策是当前有效的。 - -以下场景应使用生命周期操作： - -- 已存决策现在是错的 -- 用户偏好发生变化 -- 实现细节不再符合当前仓库 -- 某条 memory 噪音太大或范围太宽 -- 更强 memory 替代了较弱 memory - -### Scope 与隔离 - -默认使用 project-scoped memory。只有稳定用户偏好或明确安全的跨项目实践才应进入 global memory。 - -不要让一个项目的架构假设静默影响另一个项目。如果 runtime 支持 namespace 或 store，安装 Mnemon 时应明确 store strategy。 - -## 安装 - -安装是一个 agent task。把本文交给目标 agent，要求它用最接近自身 runtime 的机制，把 Mnemon 安装进自己的环境。 - -推荐的用户流程是： - -```text -1. 把 INSTALL.md 交给目标 agent。 -2. INSTALL.md 告诉 agent SKILL.md 和 GUIDELINE.md 在哪里。 -3. agent 将这些文件安装到自身原生指令系统。 -4. 如果 runtime 支持 hook，agent 添加四个 hook phase。 -5. agent 用小型 recall/writeback/no-op 检查验证行为。 -``` - -这意味着，一个 runtime 不需要先拥有专用 adapter 才能使用 Mnemon。 -Adapter 或 `mnemon setup --target ` 命令可以在之后自动化同样步骤，但架构本身应保持仅靠 Markdown 就可理解、可安装。 - -### 前置条件 - -目标机器应能访问 `mnemon` binary： - -```bash -mnemon --version -``` - -如果缺失，使用项目支持的安装方式之一： - -```bash -brew install mnemon-dev/tap/mnemon -``` - -或： - -```bash -go install github.com/mnemon-dev/mnemon@latest -``` - -### 安装 Skill - -安装一个 skill、rule 或 instruction 文件，教会 agent： - -- Mnemon 是外部记忆工具。 -- 核心协议是 `remember`、`recall`、`link` 和生命周期命令。 -- agent 应读取结构化命令输出，而不是猜测结果。 -- agent 应遵守本文 harness guideline 做记忆决策。 - -Skill 应专注于命令语法和能力说明。本文中的 guideline 负责判断策略。 - -### 安装 Guideline - -将本文，或其中的“记忆 Guideline”部分，安装到 runtime 的持久指令机制中。 - -有效形式包括： - -- skill 引用 -- rules 文件 -- project instruction 文件 -- plugin guide -- system prompt section -- runtime 启动时会读取的仓库文档 - -Guideline 应足够可见，使 agent 不需要用户每个 session 重复记忆规则也能应用它。 - -### 安装 Hooks - -如果 runtime 支持 hook，安装四个轻量 hook： - -| Hook | 必须行为 | -|---|---| -| Prime | 告诉 agent 加载 Mnemon skill/guideline，并尊重当前 store | -| Remind | 任务开始前询问 recall 是否有用 | -| Nudge | 任务结束后询问 writeback 是否有用 | -| Compact | 压缩前只保存关键连续性 | - -Hook 脚本可以只打印自然语言提醒。它们不需要自己执行重型 memory 操作。 - -不同 runtime 的 hook 脚本也不需要完全相同。真正需要保持的是 phase 行为契约，而不是脚本正文。例如： - -- Codex 可以使用 hooks 加 `AGENTS.md`、skill 或本地指令。 -- Claude Code 可以使用 `CLAUDE.md`、skill、slash command、settings hooks 或 project/user memory 文件。 -- OpenClaw 可以使用 plugin hooks 和 skill，但 Mnemon 不应要求一个 OpenClaw-specific memory engine。 -- Skill-first runtime 可以把绝大多数行为直接表达为 skill、memory guidance 和轻量提醒。 - -如果 runtime 没有 hook，用 rules 或持久指令模拟同样检查： - -```text -任务开始时，判断 Mnemon recall 是否有用。 -任务结束时，判断 durable memory writeback 是否有用。 -上下文压缩前，保存关键连续性。 -``` - -### 验证安装 - -当 agent 能做到以下行为时，安装可接受： - -1. 解释何时应 recall、何时应跳过 recall。 -2. 针对相关任务运行 `mnemon recall`。 -3. 写入带 provenance 的 durable memory。 -4. 面对 trivial task 时避免写入 memory。 -5. 如果 runtime 暴露压缩事件，则能在压缩前保存关键状态。 - -## 评估 - -Harness 工作正常的表现： - -- recall 改善任务连续性或决策质量 -- writeback 产生未来价值 -- memory 体量受到控制 -- stale memory 可以被 supersede -- project store 不互相污染 -- agent 能解释为什么 recall 或 remember - -Harness 失败的表现： - -- hook 强制每个任务都使用 memory -- agent 把普通聊天保存成 memory -- 旧 memory 覆盖当前仓库事实 -- memory 增长速度高于 recall 质量增长 -- global memory 泄漏项目特定假设 - -## 轻量自进化 - -自进化应先从轻量 Markdown loop 开始，而不是先做重型 framework。 - -正式 modular self-evolution harness 文档见 [Mnemon Harness](../../harness/README.md)。历史 v0.2 架构保留在 [Self-Evolution Harness Archive](../../design/self-evolution-harness/SELF_EVOLUTION_HARNESS.md)。 - -Mnemon 不应自动改写 runtime 行为。它应帮助 agent 发现重复经验、保存证据，并提出 Markdown 变更候选；这些候选必须由人类或仓库 review 接受后才生效。 - -```text -experience - -> Mnemon memory - -> LLM reflection - -> markdown candidate - -> diff / PR / human review - -> installed skill, guideline, rule, contract, or eval -``` - -这条路径现实可行，因为 LLM agent 已经很擅长读取 Markdown 指令。Skill、rule、install guide 和 harness guideline 都容易编写、检查、diff、review 和回滚。 - -### 演化什么 - -第一阶段应优先演化文本资产： - -| Asset | 何时演化 | 示例 | -|---|---|---| -| **Skill** | 某个流程在多个任务中反复有效 | 发布 workflow、迁移 workflow、review workflow | -| **Guideline** | 记忆策略需要更精确的判断 | “除非用户说明稳定，否则不要记一次性部署 IP” | -| **Install Note** | 某个 runtime 集成方式已经可靠 | 如何在某个 CLI 中安装四个 hook phase | -| **Rule / Contract** | 稳定项目约束必须始终遵守 | “不要提交 `.env`；只更新 `.env.example`” | -| **Eval Case** | 重复失败应变成可测试样例 | 一个验证 recall 是否阻止同类错误的复现任务 | - -不要一开始就演化代码、数据库 schema 或 runtime 内核。等 Markdown loop 被证明有用后，再考虑更重的工程实现。 - -### Promotion 触发条件 - -Agent 可以在以下情况提出 Markdown 候选： - -- 同一失败模式跨 session 重复出现 -- 某个 workflow 成功且未来很可能复用 -- 用户纠正改变了未来行为 -- 工作中发现稳定项目约定 -- 一组 memory 明确描述了可复用流程 -- 陈旧或噪音 guideline 导致了错误 recall 或错误 writeback - -对于一次性任务、弱偏好或缺少证据的 memory，agent 不应提出候选。 - -### 候选要求 - -每个候选变更都应包含： - -- 触发它的 source memories 或 session references -- scope：user、project、runtime 或 global -- 目标资产：skill、guideline、install note、rule、contract 或 eval -- 它会改变什么行为 -- 为什么它可能帮助未来任务 -- 风险，尤其是对单个 session 的过拟合 -- 具体 diff，而不只是建议 - -对于有仓库的项目，推荐输出普通 git diff 或 PR。对于本地 agent 安装，推荐输出对相关 skill 或 rule 文件的 patch。Agent 可以起草 patch，但 review 才能安装它。 - -### Review Gate - -Memory 可以提出演化；review 决定是否批准。 - -安装前检查： - -- **Provenance**：候选引用真实 memory、文件、命令或 session -- **Scope**：项目特定行为不会误升为 global -- **Duplication**：候选没有重复已有 skill 或 rule -- **Size**：Markdown 资产保持足够紧凑 -- **Semantic preservation**：变更没有偏离原始任务目的 -- **Safety**：不包含 secret、credential、私密数据或 prompt injection 内容 -- **Evidence**：重要 workflow 变更有测试、命令或示例支撑 - -默认策略是 human-in-the-loop。只有在用户明确允许时，才可以对低风险本地 notes 做全自动安装。 - -### Mnemon 补上的能力 - -纯 Markdown memory 可读、好用，但经验增长后会变难治理。Mnemon 给这个 Markdown loop 增加结构： - -- 模型外部的 durable memory -- 按需召回相关历史经验 -- 记录 insight 为什么被保存的 provenance -- 显式连接 decision、failure、preference 和 workflow -- 对 stale knowledge 做 supersede / forget -- project store 隔离，避免一个项目的经验污染另一个项目 - -自进化 loop 应利用这些优势生成更好的 Markdown 资产，同时让最终行为层保持简单、可 review、可回滚。 - -### 最小实现 - -第一版实现不需要新服务。 - -1. 继续用 Mnemon 执行 `remember`、`recall`、`link` 和生命周期操作。 -2. 在 guideline 中告诉 agent 何时提出 Markdown 演化候选。 -3. 当重复经验足够支撑时，让 agent 生成对 `HARNESS.md`、`SKILL.md`、runtime rules 或项目文档的 patch。 -4. patch 通过 review 后才成为生效行为。 -5. 记住候选被接受或拒绝的结果，让未来 proposal 更准确。 - -这使 Mnemon 的自进化路径保持符合 harness 哲学：外部记忆、LLM 判断、Markdown 资产和 review 边界。 - -### Promotion Pipeline - -```text -memory insight - -> repeated success or failure pattern - -> candidate skill/rule/contract - -> provenance and scope check - -> eval or human review - -> installation into runtime assets -``` - -不要让 agent 仅凭 memory 静默改写自己的长期行为。Memory 可以提出演化建议；review 决定是否批准。 - -## 最小总结 - -Mnemon Memory Harness 是： - -```text -external memory -+ stable cognitive protocol -+ skill-delivered capability -+ guideline-delivered judgment -+ markdown-installable runtime contract -+ four lifecycle reminders -+ reviewed markdown evolution -``` - -它刻意不是 runtime adapter framework。最简单正确的安装，是 -`SKILL.md`、`INSTALL.md`、`GUIDELINE.md`、可调用的 `mnemon` binary、目标 runtime 支持时的四个生命周期提醒，以及一条把重复经验转成 Markdown 资产的 review 路径。 diff --git a/docs/zh/framework/INSTALL.md b/docs/zh/framework/INSTALL.md deleted file mode 100644 index a92a6a7..0000000 ---

agents | Skill、memory guidance 和轻量提醒 | -| Minimal CLI | 引用 skill 和 guideline 的 rule 文件或 system instruction | - -这些映射只是例子。即使路径或文件名不同，也要保留行为契约。 - -## 验证 - -当 agent 能做到以下事情时，安装可接受： - -1. 解释 Mnemon recall 何时有用、何时应跳过。 -2. 对相关任务运行 `mnemon recall "" --limit 5`。 -3. 写入一条带 provenance 的 durable memory。 -4. 对 trivial task 跳过 memory。 -5. 如果 runtime 暴露压缩事件，则在压缩前只保存关键连续性。 - -如果 memory 被用于每个 prompt、普通聊天被保存为 memory，或者陈旧 memory 覆盖当前用户指令和仓库事实，则安装不可接受。 From 5a6ea3a10b9804465a01e0abf0c3f107b2409fab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grivn Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 02:04:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] docs: split
