<h1>ECHO Memory</h1>

<!-- ========== TL;DR ========== -->
|
||
<section>
|
||
<h2>The one-liner</h2>
|
||
<p class="lede">Claude forgets everything when a chat closes. ECHO fixes that. It gives the assistant a structured Obsidian vault that it reads at session start and writes to as you work. The result: <strong>memory you can trust and retrieve</strong>, running identically on every machine.</p>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<!-- ========== WHY ========== -->
|
||
<section>
|
||
<h2>Why it matters</h2>
|
||
<div class="h2sub">The problem it solves</div>
|
||
<p>Every session starts cold. You re-explain who you are, what you're building, and what was decided last week. Notes scatter, duplicate, or land in the wrong place. Worse, writes fail silently — you think a note saved when it didn't. ECHO closes all four gaps.</p>
|
||
<div class="grid g3">
|
||
<div class="card"><span class="ic"></span><h4>Remembers across sessions</h4><p>Profile, active scope, recent sessions, and open projects load automatically at session start. No re-briefing.</p></div>
|
||
<div class="card"><span class="ic"></span><h4>Routes itself</h4><p>One <code>capture</code> call files a note, stamps it, indexes it, and cross-links it. No manual filing.</p></div>
|
||
<div class="card"><span class="ic"></span><h4>Recalls neighbourhoods</h4><p>Ask about a topic. Get the note plus everything linked to it — people, decisions, meetings. Not one fragment.</p></div>

||

<!-- ========== HOW TO USE ========== -->
|
||
<section>
|
||
<h2>Getting started</h2>
|
||
<div class="h2sub">How to use it</div>
|
||
<p>Most of the time you do nothing. The skill fires on phrases like <em>"remember that,"</em> <em>"what do you know about me,"</em> and <em>"log this decision,"</em> and loads your context at the start of real work. For direct control, use the eight slash commands:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="cmds">
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-load</code><span>Cold-start read — profile, scope, recent sessions, inbox.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-save</code><span>Route and persist a memory to its correct home in one call.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-recall</code><span>Pull a topic plus its linked neighbourhood.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-reflect</code><span>Extract durable takeaways from the session for one-tap capture.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-triage</code><span>Drain the inbox — route aging captures to their homes.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-health</code><span>Run the linter — surface drift, broken links, orphans.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-sweep</code><span>Bring an upgraded vault up to spec — index plus links.</span></div>
|
||
<div class="cmd"><code>/echo-doctor</code><span>Readiness check — Python, reachability, auth, schema.</span></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>A typical session</h3>
|
||
<div class="step"><div class="no">1</div><div class="tx"><b>Start working</b><p>ECHO loads your profile, active scope, last session, today's note, and inbox. It confirms scope before doing anything.</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="step"><div class="no">2</div><div class="tx"><b>Just talk</b><p>Mention a decision, a project, or a preference. Say "remember that" and it's filed and cross-linked.</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="step"><div class="no">3</div><div class="tx"><b>Recall on demand</b><p>"What do we know about the ALABAMA wISP rollout?" returns the project note and its linked people, decisions, and meetings.</p></div></div>
|
||
<div class="step"><div class="no">4</div><div class="tx"><b>Session ends</b><p>ECHO writes a one-line Agent-Log entry and a session log, then drops a heartbeat pointer to resume from next time.</p></div></div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="note">Setup is two steps: run Obsidian with the Local REST API plugin, and set an API key (<code>echo.py write-key <token></code> or the env var). Point the plugin at an empty vault and it builds the full structure itself.</div>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<!-- ========== ARCHITECTURE ========== -->
|
||
<section>
|
||
<h2>Under the hood</h2>
|
||
<div class="h2sub">Architecture</div>
|
||
<p>One principle drives the design: <strong>the plugin is the single source of truth.</strong> All behavior — bootstrap logic, the operating contract, taxonomy, routing rules, and note templates — ships <em>inside</em> the plugin. The vault holds <strong>data only</strong>. That makes the system self-bootstrapping, updatable in one place, and portable across machines.</p>

<h3>Key components</h3>

<thead><tr><th>Component</th><th>What it does</th></tr></thead>
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr><td>echo.py</td><td>The validated client and CLI. Every read and write injects auth, checks HTTP status, retries transient errors, and read-back-verifies the result. A failed write fails loud, not silent.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>capture / recall / resolve / link</td><td>The do-it-for-me layer. <code>capture</code> routes, stamps, indexes, auto-links, and logs in one call. <code>recall</code> returns a topic's linked neighbourhood.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>Entity index</td><td>A slug→{path, kind, aliases} registry. Turns routing into an O(1), alias-aware lookup instead of a fuzzy search.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>Hybrid recall</td><td>Local BM25 over note bodies, fused with decayed graph expansion. Keyword relevance and link structure, together.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>Offline queue + cache</td><td>Vault unreachable? Writes queue to a local write-ahead log and replay idempotently later. Reads fall back to a last-known-good cache.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>routing.json + linter</td><td>A machine-readable manifest of what writes where, enforced by a read-only checker — drift, broken links, orphans, frontmatter integrity.</td></tr>
|
||
<tr><td>scaffold/ + bootstrap</td><td>Templates and seeds that stand up an empty vault deterministically and idempotently.</td></tr>

<h3>How memory is organized</h3>
|
||
<p>ECHO mirrors a working memory model: <strong>working</strong> (transient state), <strong>episodic</strong> (what happened, when), <strong>semantic</strong> (durable facts and preferences), and <strong>context</strong> (the active focus). Daily content lives in plain folders — <code>projects/</code>, <code>journal/</code>, <code>decisions/</code>, <code>resources/</code>. The agent's bookkeeping sits under <code>_agent/</code>.</p>

<h2>Does it actually help?</h2>

<div class="h2sub">Efficiency and reliability metrics</div>
|
||
<p>A credential-free A/B harness compares the plugin <strong>before</strong> (hand-built REST calls from the old skill docs) and <strong>after</strong> (the shipped validated client) across six representative operations, with deterministic fault injection. It measures the plumbing: token cost of the I/O layer and the rate of silent write failures.</p>

<p class="caption">Source: <code>eval/run_eval.py</code> (mock OLRAPI, chars/token = 4.0). Generated-token counts are a proxy for the I/O layer only. "Effective tokens" applies a tunable recovery penalty on top of the hard silent-failure count.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="note warn"><strong>What this measures:</strong> deterministic mechanics, not model reasoning (routing choices or prose quality). The "4 → 0 silent failures" figure is a hard count from ground truth. The recovery-weighted number is a model on top of it. CI runs the offline, reflect, and patch-semantics suites across Windows/macOS/Linux × Python 3.10/3.12.</div>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Why "silent failures" are the real win</h3>
|
||
<p>A failed write that looks like success is the worst outcome for a memory system. You trust a note that never saved. The old approach hid four across six operations. The validated client surfaces every one — non-zero exit, retry, read-back verify — so the assistant recovers instead of moving on. That is the line between memory and memory you can trust.</p>

<div class="grid g2">
|

<div class="card"><h4>Search-first writes</h4><p>Before creating a note, ECHO searches the whole vault for the slug and title. No duplicates scattered across folders.</p></div>
