Milla Jovovich 068dbd9a7b MemPalace: palace architecture, AAAK compression, knowledge graph
The memory system:
- Palace structure: Wings (people/projects) → Rooms (topics) → Closets (AAAK compressed) → Drawers (verbatim transcripts)
- Halls connect related rooms within a wing
- Tunnels cross-reference rooms across wings
- AAAK: 30x lossless compression dialect for AI agents
- Knowledge graph: temporal entity-relationship triples (SQLite)
- Palace graph: room-based navigation with tunnel detection
- MCP server: 19 tools — search, graph traversal, agent diary, AAAK auto-teach
- Onboarding: guided setup generates wing config + AAAK entity registry
- Contradiction detection: catches wrong pronouns, names, ages
- Auto-save hooks for Claude Code

96.6% Recall@5 on LongMemEval — highest zero-API score published.

mempalace/ — Core Package

The Python package that powers MemPalace. All modules, all logic.

Modules

Module What it does
cli.py CLI entry point — routes to mine, search, init, compress, wake-up
config.py Configuration loading — ~/.mempalace/config.json, env vars, defaults
normalize.py Converts 5 chat formats (Claude Code JSONL, Claude.ai JSON, ChatGPT JSON, Slack JSON, plain text) to standard transcript format
miner.py Project file ingest — scans directories, chunks by paragraph, stores to ChromaDB
convo_miner.py Conversation ingest — chunks by exchange pair (Q+A), detects rooms from content
searcher.py Semantic search via ChromaDB vectors — filters by wing/room, returns verbatim + scores
layers.py 4-layer memory stack: L0 (identity), L1 (critical facts), L2 (room recall), L3 (deep search)
dialect.py AAAK compression — entity codes, emotion markers, 30x lossless ratio
knowledge_graph.py Temporal entity-relationship graph — SQLite, time-filtered queries, fact invalidation
palace_graph.py Room-based navigation graph — BFS traversal, tunnel detection across wings
mcp_server.py MCP server — 19 tools, AAAK auto-teach, Palace Protocol, agent diary
onboarding.py Guided first-run setup — asks about people/projects, generates AAAK bootstrap + wing config
entity_registry.py Entity code registry — maps names to AAAK codes, handles ambiguous names
entity_detector.py Auto-detect people and projects from file content
general_extractor.py Classifies text into 5 memory types (decision, preference, milestone, problem, emotional)
room_detector_local.py Maps folders to room names using 70+ patterns — no API
spellcheck.py Name-aware spellcheck — won't "correct" proper nouns in your entity registry
split_mega_files.py Splits concatenated transcript files into per-session files

Architecture

User → CLI → miner/convo_miner → ChromaDB (palace)
                                     ↕
                              knowledge_graph (SQLite)
                                     ↕
User → MCP Server → searcher → results
                  → kg_query → entity facts
                  → diary    → agent journal

The palace (ChromaDB) stores verbatim content. The knowledge graph (SQLite) stores structured relationships. The MCP server exposes both to any AI tool.
