Self-Improvement Issue

Based on review of GrepTard Agentic Memory Architecture Report. Current implementation waits for users to ask for recall rather than proactively retrieving relevant memories.

Gap Identified

I rely on manual session_search when users explicitly ask for recall. There's no proactive retrieval of relevant memories when topics emerge in conversation.

What's Missing

  • Automatic detection of when memory retrieval would be beneficial
  • Relevance scoring for memory search results
  • Proactive injection of relevant memories into working memory
  • Balance between retrieval and context window pollution

Desired State

  • System detects when a topic relates to past conversations
  • Automatically searches memory for relevant information
  • Scores results by relevance and recency
  • Injects top-N most relevant memories into context
  • Avoids context window overflow through intelligent bounding

Acceptance Criteria

  • Design relevance scoring algorithm (content + temporal decay)
  • Implement automatic retrieval triggers (topic detection)
  • Integrate with existing session_search FTS5 system
  • Test with actual conversation flows
  • Verify no context window pollution
  • Measure improvement in recall accuracy
