**Understand how Claude and opencode do memory, then centralize both into one vector database.** Wanted
|
||||
2026-08-25. Two steps in order, and the second should not be started before the first is actually
|
||||
answered rather than assumed:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Understand what "memory" means for each harness, as it exists today.** For Claude that is this
|
||||
platform's own memory system (`~/.claude/projects/*/memory/`, `MEMORY.md` plus per-topic files — the
|
||||
mechanism this very session uses) and whatever `CLAUDE.md` files and file-based conventions the SDK
|
||||
itself reads. For opencode — wired into this platform (`sidecar/opencode/`) but not deeply understood
|
||||
by this session — the equivalent needs the same audit: where does it read and write anything durable
|
||||
about a session or a user, and does it call that memory at all or something else entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Centralize into one vector database**, so both harnesses (and whatever joins later) read and write
|
||||
the same store instead of each keeping its own files. **Needs an affordance per harness**, teaching it
|
||||
NOT to use its native memory mechanism and to use the shared store instead — the same delivery
|
||||
mechanism already used to teach Claude sessions about image rendering and gitea
|
||||
(`capabilities/affordances/`, loaded per turn, no restart).
|
||||
|
||||
Open, deliberately not decided here: which vector database; what gets embedded (raw notes, summaries,
|
||||
both); whether centralization REPLACES each harness's native memory outright or sits ahead of it as a
|
||||
retrieval layer the harness is told to consult first; and how a memory tied to one user account maps
|
||||
onto a store meant to serve every harness the same account uses. Step 1 should surface most of these —
|
||||
this is exploratory before it is a build.
