  "collection_name": "mempalace_drawers",
  "people_map": {"Kai": "KAI", "Priya": "PRI"}

Project Config

Generated by mempalace init in your project directory:

Wings are auto-detected during mempalace init from:

Directory names → project wings
Detected people in file content → person wings
Explicit --wing flag on mine commands

Identity

Located at ~/.mempalace/identity.txt. Plain text. Becomes Layer 0 — loaded every session.

I am Atlas, a personal AI assistant for Alice.
Traits: warm, direct, remembers everything.
People: Alice (creator), Bob (Alice's partner).

::: tip Write your identity file in first person from the AI's perspective. This becomes the AI's self-concept on wake-up. :::

Palace Path Override

All commands accept --palace <path> to override the default location:

mempalace search "query" --palace /tmp/test-palace
mempalace mine ~/data/ --palace /tmp/test-palace

The MCP server also accepts --palace:

python -m mempalace.mcp_server --palace /custom/palace

`MEMPAL_DIR`	Directory for auto-mining in hooks
