# Mining Your Data
|
|
|
|
MemPalace ingests your data by **mining** — scanning files and filing their content as verbatim drawers in the palace.
|
|
|
|
## Mining Modes
|
|
|
|
### Projects Mode (default)
|
|
|
|
Scans code, docs, and notes. Respects `.gitignore` by default.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each file becomes a drawer, tagged with a wing (project name) and room (topic). Rooms are auto-detected from your folder structure during `mempalace init`.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Override wing name
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp --wing myapp
|
|
|
|
# Ignore .gitignore rules
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp --no-gitignore
|
|
|
|
# Include specific ignored paths
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp --include-ignored dist,build
|
|
|
|
# Limit number of files
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp --limit 100
|
|
|
|
# Preview without filing
|
|
mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp --dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Conversations Mode
|
|
|
|
Indexes conversation exports from Claude, ChatGPT, Slack, and other tools. Chunks by exchange pair (human + assistant turns).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace mine ~/chats/ --mode convos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Supports five chat formats automatically:
|
|
- Claude JSON exports
|
|
- ChatGPT exports
|
|
- Slack exports
|
|
- Markdown conversations
|
|
- Plain text transcripts
|
|
|
|
### General Extraction
|
|
|
|
Auto-classifies conversation content into five memory types:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace mine ~/chats/ --mode convos --extract general
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Memory types:
|
|
- **Decisions** — choices made, options rejected
|
|
- **Preferences** — habits, likes, opinions
|
|
- **Milestones** — sessions completed, goals reached
|
|
- **Problems** — bugs, blockers, issues encountered
|
|
- **Emotional context** — reactions, concerns, excitement
|
|
|
|
## Splitting Mega-Files
|
|
|
|
Some transcript exports concatenate multiple sessions into one huge file. Split them first:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Preview what would be split
|
|
mempalace split ~/chats/ --dry-run
|
|
|
|
# Split files with 2+ sessions (default)
|
|
mempalace split ~/chats/
|
|
|
|
# Only split files with 3+ sessions
|
|
mempalace split ~/chats/ --min-sessions 3
|
|
|
|
# Output to a different directory
|
|
mempalace split ~/chats/ --output-dir ~/chats-split/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
Always run `mempalace split` before mining conversation files. It's a no-op if files don't need splitting.

## Multi-Project Setup
|
|
|
|
Mine each project into its own wing:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace mine ~/chats/orion/ --mode convos --wing orion
|
|
mempalace mine ~/chats/nova/ --mode convos --wing nova
|
|
mempalace mine ~/chats/helios/ --mode convos --wing helios
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Six months later:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Project-specific search
|
|
mempalace search "database decision" --wing orion
|
|
|
|
# Cross-project search
|
|
mempalace search "rate limiting approach"
|
|
# → finds your approach in Orion AND Nova, shows the differences
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Team Usage
|
|
|
|
Mine Slack exports and AI conversations for team history:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace mine ~/exports/slack/ --mode convos --wing driftwood
|
|
mempalace mine ~/.claude/projects/ --mode convos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then search across people and projects:
|
|
```bash
|
|
mempalace search "Soren sprint" --wing driftwood
|
|
# → 14 closets: OAuth refactor, dark mode, component library migration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Agent Tag
|
|
|
|
Every drawer is tagged with the agent that filed it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Default agent name
|
|
mempalace mine ~/data/ --agent mempalace
|
|
|
|
# Custom agent name
|
|
mempalace mine ~/data/ --agent reviewer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
