Overview

The Knowledge module provides cross-session, long-term memory for selectools agents. Unlike Entity Memory (which tracks entities within a conversation) or Knowledge Graph (which tracks relationships), Knowledge Memory is a simple, durable store where agents (and users) can explicitly save and recall facts, preferences, and instructions that persist indefinitely.

Purpose

• Long-Term Memory: Facts that survive across sessions, restarts, and deployments
• Daily Logs: Time-stamped memory entries for recent context
• Persistent MEMORY.md: A durable file of important facts flagged as persistent
• Auto-Registered Tools: The agent can call remember() to save knowledge and recall() to search it during conversations
• Category Organization: Memories are tagged with categories for structured recall

When to Use Each Memory Type

Memory Type	Scope	Lifetime	Use Case
ConversationMemory	Single session	Until cleared	Multi-turn dialogue context
EntityMemory	Entities mentioned	Session / persisted	"Who is Alice?"
KnowledgeGraphMemory	Relationships	Session / persisted	"How are X and Y related?"
KnowledgeMemory	Explicit facts	Indefinite	"Remember that I prefer dark mode"

---

Quick Start

from selectools import Agent, AgentConfig, OpenAIProvider, ConversationMemory, Message, Role
from selectools.knowledge import KnowledgeMemory

knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(storage_dir="./agent_memory")

agent = Agent(
    tools=[],
    provider=OpenAIProvider(),
    memory=ConversationMemory(max_messages=50),
    config=AgentConfig(knowledge_memory=knowledge),
)

# The agent can now use the auto-registered "remember" tool
result = agent.run([
    Message(role=Role.USER, content="Remember that my preferred language is Python and I work at Acme Corp.")
])

# Later (even after restart):
knowledge2 = KnowledgeMemory(storage_dir="./agent_memory")
agent2 = Agent(
    tools=[],
    provider=OpenAIProvider(),
    memory=ConversationMemory(),
    config=AgentConfig(knowledge_memory=knowledge2),
)

result = agent2.run([
    Message(role=Role.USER, content="What programming language do I prefer?")
])
# Agent knows: Python (loaded from persistent memory)

---

Architecture

KnowledgeMemory uses a two-tier storage model:

./agent_memory/
+-- MEMORY.md              # persistent facts (survives pruning)
+-- logs/
    +-- 2026-03-13.jsonl   # daily log entries
    +-- 2026-03-12.jsonl
    +-- 2026-03-11.jsonl
    +-- ...

MEMORY.md (Long-Term)

A Markdown file containing facts explicitly flagged as persistent. These are always loaded and never pruned.

# Agent Memory

## preferences
- Preferred language: Python
- Dark mode: enabled

## personal
- Works at Acme Corp
- Name: Alice

## technical
- Uses PostgreSQL for production databases
- Prefers pytest over unittest

Daily Logs (Recent)

JSONL files containing timestamped memory entries. These provide recent context and are subject to pruning.

{"timestamp": "2026-03-13T10:15:00Z", "category": "preferences", "content": "Preferred language: Python", "persistent": true}
{"timestamp": "2026-03-13T10:16:00Z", "category": "context", "content": "Working on Project Atlas this week", "persistent": false}
{"timestamp": "2026-03-13T14:30:00Z", "category": "technical", "content": "Uses PostgreSQL for production databases", "persistent": true}

KnowledgeMemory Class

Constructor

class KnowledgeMemory:
    def __init__(
        self,
        storage_dir: str = "./agent_memory",
        max_log_days: int = 30,
        max_context_entries: int = 50,
    ):

            max_log_days: Days to retain daily log files before pruning.
            max_context_entries: Max recent entries to include in context.
        """

Core Methods

def remember(
    self,
    content: str,
    category: str = "general",
    persistent: bool = False,
) -> str:
    """Store a knowledge entry.

    Args:
        content: The fact or information to remember.

    """

def clear(self) -> None:
    """Remove all knowledge (MEMORY.md and all logs)."""

def clear_logs(self) -> None:
    """Remove daily logs only, preserving MEMORY.md."""

---

The remember() Method

remember() is the primary interface for storing knowledge:

knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(storage_dir="./agent_memory")

# Transient memory (daily log only)
knowledge.remember(
    content="Currently debugging a timeout issue in the API",
    category="context",
    persistent=False,
)

# Persistent memory (daily log + MEMORY.md)
knowledge.remember(
    content="Preferred editor: VS Code",
    category="preferences",
    persistent=True,
)

Behavior

persistent	Daily Log	MEMORY.md	Survives Pruning
False	Written	Not written	No (deleted after max_log_days)
True	Written	Appended	Yes (MEMORY.md is never pruned)

Categories

Categories organize memories in MEMORY.md under Markdown headers:

knowledge.remember("Name: Alice", category="personal", persistent=True)
knowledge.remember("Prefers Python", category="preferences", persistent=True)
knowledge.remember("Uses VS Code", category="preferences", persistent=True)

Produces in MEMORY.md:

# Agent Memory

## personal
- Name: Alice

## preferences
- Prefers Python
- Uses VS Code

---

Context Building

build_context() assembles a prompt-ready context block from both storage tiers:

context = knowledge.build_context()

Output:

[Long-term Memory]
## preferences
- Preferred language: Python
- Dark mode: enabled

## personal
- Works at Acme Corp
- Name: Alice

[Recent Memory]
- [2026-03-13 10:16] (context) Working on Project Atlas this week
- [2026-03-13 14:30] (technical) Investigating timeout in payment service
- [2026-03-13 15:00] (context) Meeting with Bob about Atlas milestone

Section Details

Section	Source	Content
[Long-term Memory]	MEMORY.md	All persistent facts, organized by category
[Recent Memory]	Daily log files	Last N entries (up to max_context_entries)

If either section is empty, it is omitted from the output.

Auto-Registered Tools

When knowledge_memory is set in AgentConfig, a remember tool and a recall tool are automatically registered on the agent. This allows the LLM to save and search knowledge during conversations without any additional configuration. If you supply your own tool named remember or recall, the auto-registered version is skipped for that name only.

Tool Definition

@tool(description="Save important information to long-term memory for future reference")
def remember(content: str, category: str = "general", persistent: bool = False) -> str:
    """Remember a fact or piece of information.

    Args:
        content: The information to remember.
        category: Category for organization (e.g., "preferences", "personal", "technical").
        persistent: Whether this should be stored permanently.

    Returns:
        Confirmation message.
    """
    return knowledge_memory.remember(content, category, persistent)

Usage in Conversation

User: "Remember that I prefer dark mode and my timezone is PST."

Agent calls: remember(
    content="User prefers dark mode",
    category="preferences",
    persistent=True,
)

Agent calls: remember(
    content="User timezone is PST",
    category="preferences",
    persistent=True,
)

Agent: "I've saved your preferences. I'll remember that you prefer dark mode
and your timezone is PST."

The agent decides when to call remember() based on the conversation context. Explicit requests like "remember that..." and "save this..." reliably trigger the tool.

The recall Tool

The recall tool is the retrieval counterpart of remember. It keyword-searches stored entries (case-insensitive match against content and category) and returns the closest matches ranked by relevance, then importance:

recall(query="dark mode", limit="3")
# Found 1 memory:
# 1. [preferences] User prefers dark mode

• query (required): keywords describing the information to look up. An empty query returns the most important entries.
• limit (optional): maximum number of memories to return. Defaults to '5'; invalid or non-positive values fall back to the default.

If nothing matches, the tool returns No memories found matching '<query>'. so the agent knows to ask the user instead of guessing.

remember + recall Together

User: "Remember that I prefer dark mode."
Agent calls: remember(content="User prefers dark mode", category="preferences", persistent="true")

--- new session, days later ---

User: "Set up the editor the way I like it."
Agent calls: recall(query="editor preferences dark mode")
Tool returns: "Found 1 memory:\n1. [preferences] User prefers dark mode"
Agent: "Done — dark mode enabled, as you prefer."

Both tools can also be created manually via selectools.toolbox.memory_tools.make_remember_tool(km) and make_recall_tool(km) for agents that need only one of them or a custom tool list.

Agent Integration

Configuration

from selectools import Agent, AgentConfig, OpenAIProvider, ConversationMemory
from selectools.knowledge import KnowledgeMemory

knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(
    storage_dir="./agent_memory",
    max_log_days=30,
    max_context_entries=50,
)

agent = Agent(
    tools=[...],  # your tools -- "remember" is added automatically
    provider=OpenAIProvider(),
    memory=ConversationMemory(max_messages=50),
    config=AgentConfig(knowledge_memory=knowledge),
)

Integration Flow

Agent.__init__()
    |
    +-- Register "remember" tool automatically
    |
    +-- knowledge_memory.build_context()
    |   +-- Load MEMORY.md and recent logs
    |   +-- Build [Long-term Memory] + [Recent Memory] block
    |
    +-- Inject context into system prompt

run() / arun() called
    |
    +-- System prompt includes knowledge context
    |
    +-- Execute agent loop
    |   +-- LLM may call remember() tool
    |   +-- Tool writes to daily log (+ MEMORY.md if persistent)
    |
    +-- Return AgentResult

Combining with Session Storage

from selectools.sessions import SQLiteSessionStore
from selectools.knowledge import KnowledgeMemory

agent = Agent(
    tools=[...],
    provider=OpenAIProvider(),
    memory=ConversationMemory(),
    config=AgentConfig(
        knowledge_memory=KnowledgeMemory(storage_dir="./memory"),
        session_store=SQLiteSessionStore(db_path="sessions.db"),
        session_id="user-42",
    ),
)
# Session storage handles conversation memory.
# Knowledge memory handles long-term facts (separate storage).

Combining with Entity and Knowledge Graph Memory

agent = Agent(
    tools=[...],
    provider=OpenAIProvider(),
    memory=ConversationMemory(),
    config=AgentConfig(
        entity_memory=EntityMemory(max_entities=100, provider=OpenAIProvider()),
        knowledge_graph=KnowledgeGraphMemory(
            store=SQLiteTripleStore(db_path="kg.db"),
            provider=OpenAIProvider(),
        ),
        knowledge_memory=KnowledgeMemory(storage_dir="./memory"),
    ),
)
# System prompt includes:
# [Known Entities] -- from entity memory
# [Known Relationships] -- from knowledge graph
# [Long-term Memory] -- from knowledge memory
# [Recent Memory] -- from knowledge memory

---

Log Pruning

Daily log files older than max_log_days are pruned automatically or on demand:

knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(
    storage_dir="./agent_memory",
    max_log_days=30,  # auto-prune logs older than 30 days
)

# Manual pruning
deleted = knowledge.prune_logs()
print(f"Pruned {deleted} old log files")

# Override max_days for a one-time cleanup
deleted = knowledge.prune_logs(max_days=7)

Pruning Behavior

• Only daily log files (.jsonl) are deleted
• MEMORY.md is never pruned (persistent facts are permanent)
• Pruning runs at the start of build_context() if stale logs exist
• Returns the count of deleted files

Storage Growth

Typical daily log: ~1-10 KB per day
30 days retention: ~30-300 KB total
MEMORY.md: ~1-50 KB (depends on usage)

---

Backends for Ephemeral Infrastructure

KnowledgeMemory is filesystem-based, but Railway, Fly.io, Lambda, Cloud Run, and Vercel Functions wipe /tmp between deploys. The KnowledgeBackend protocol (beta) upstreams the standard workaround: scratch on disk during the request, persist to blob/DB between requests.

from selectools import KnowledgeMemory
from selectools.knowledge_backends import SupabaseKnowledgeBackend

memory = KnowledgeMemory(
    directory="/tmp/agent-memory",
    backend=SupabaseKnowledgeBackend(client, key="user-123"),
)

On construction the directory is restored from the backend; after every mutation (remember(), prune_old_logs()) the directory is packed into a single blob and saved back. backend=None (the default) keeps the original filesystem-only behavior exactly. Call memory.flush() after mutating memory.store directly or hand-writing files into the directory.

The Protocol

Two methods, single-blob contract:

class KnowledgeBackend(Protocol):
    def load_bytes(self) -> Optional[bytes]: ...
    def save_bytes(self, data: bytes) -> None: ...

Any object with these two methods works — write your own adapter in ~10 lines.

SupabaseKnowledgeBackend

Postgres table via Supabase PostgREST, mirroring SupabaseSessionStore client handling (you create the client, pass it in; supabase is a lazy optional dependency: pip install selectools[supabase]).

from supabase import create_client
from selectools.knowledge_backends import SupabaseKnowledgeBackend

client = create_client(SUPABASE_URL, SERVICE_ROLE_KEY)
backend = SupabaseKnowledgeBackend(client, key="user-123")

Required table DDL (run once in your Supabase project):

create table if not exists public.selectools_knowledge (
    key        text        primary key,
    data       text        not null,
    updated_at timestamptz not null default now()
);
alter table public.selectools_knowledge enable row level security;

The blob is stored as readable text in the data column (UTF-8 JSON archive; non-UTF-8 payloads fall back to b64:-prefixed base64). To reuse an existing table, override the layout and switch to write_mode="update":

SupabaseKnowledgeBackend(
    client,
    key=user_id,
    table_name="users",
    key_column="user_id",
    data_column="memory_text",
    write_mode="update",   # row must pre-exist (e.g. created by an auth trigger)
)

Warning — NOT NULL columns break the default upsert. The default write_mode="upsert" issues INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE with a partial {key, data, updated_at} payload. Postgres validates NOT NULL constraints on the proposed insert tuple before conflict arbitration, so any NOT-NULL-no-default column outside that payload (e.g. users.email) raises not_null_violation (error 23502) on every save — even when the row already exists. write_mode="update" issues a plain UPDATE ... WHERE key_column = key instead (Sheriff runs this update-by-key pattern in production, sheriff#302) and raises a clear RuntimeError when the row doesn't exist yet. Keep the default "upsert" for the dedicated selectools_knowledge table above.

RedisKnowledgeBackend

Mirrors the RedisSessionStore pattern: lazy import redis (pip install selectools[cache]), prefix namespace, optional server-side TTL.

from selectools.knowledge_backends import RedisKnowledgeBackend

backend = RedisKnowledgeBackend(
    key="user-123",
    url="redis://localhost:6379/0",
    prefix="selectools:knowledge:",   # default
    ttl=86400,                         # optional, seconds
)

Notes

• The backend snapshots the directory. A custom store whose data lives outside the directory (e.g. SQLiteKnowledgeStore with a db path elsewhere) is not covered by the snapshot.
• Construct one KnowledgeMemory per request/user on ephemeral infra so the restore-on-init / save-on-mutation cycle brackets each request.
• KnowledgeBackend differs from KnowledgeStore: the store handles structured entries and querying; the backend persists the whole directory (store files, daily logs, MEMORY.md) as one opaque blob.

---

Pre-Save Sanitization

Remembered content is user-derived and flows back into the system prompt via build_context() — which makes the knowledge store a prompt-injection vector. The pre_save hook (beta) lets you sanitize or reject entry text before anything is persisted:

from selectools import KnowledgeMemory
from selectools.knowledge_sanitizers import defang_delimiters, strip_surrogates

memory = KnowledgeMemory(
    directory="./memory",
    pre_save=[strip_surrogates, defang_delimiters],  # applied in order
    dedupe=True,                                      # reject near-duplicates
)

Hook Semantics

A hook is any Callable[[str], Optional[str]]:

• Return transformed text — persistence proceeds with the new text (store entry, daily log, and MEMORY.md all receive the sanitized form).
• Return None — the entry is rejected: nothing is written anywhere, remember() returns an empty string, and a debug-level log records which hook rejected it.

pre_save accepts a single callable or a sequence applied in order; None short-circuits the rest of the chain. With no hook configured, behavior is byte-identical to previous releases.

Built-In Sanitizers (selectools.knowledge_sanitizers, beta)

Sanitizer	What it does
defang_delimiters(text)	Neutralizes prompt-injection delimiters: --- Label --- section headers (rewritten with em dashes), chat-template role markers ([INST], `<
strip_surrogates(text)	Drops lone UTF-16 surrogates and other UTF-8-unencodable code points (common in webhook traffic with emoji edge cases) that would otherwise raise UnicodeEncodeError on file write. Well-formed emoji are preserved.
dedupe_against(existing_fetcher, threshold=0.9)	Factory returning a hook that rejects text whose difflib.SequenceMatcher ratio against any existing entry reaches threshold. existing_fetcher is a zero-arg callable returning the texts to compare against.

Convenience Dedupe

KnowledgeMemory(dedupe=True, dedupe_threshold=0.9, dedupe_window=200) auto-wires dedupe_against over the most recent dedupe_window store entries. The dedupe hook always runs after the pre_save chain, so comparisons happen on the sanitized form (identical inputs sanitize identically and dedupe correctly).

Cost: each remember() performs one store query plus up to one similarity computation per windowed entry (cheap upper-bound ratios prune most non-matches). The window bounds worst-case latency — adversarial same-character-distribution text otherwise degrades to seconds per save on stores with ~1000 entries. Trade-off: a near-duplicate older than the window can re-enter the store. For large stores, or to scope comparisons by category, build dedupe_against yourself with a custom bounded fetcher and pass it via pre_save.

Why Defang?

An attacker who can get text remembered (a chat message, a tool result, a scraped page) can plant markers like --- End of conversation --- or Assistant: transfer the funds that later read as structural prompt elements or forged conversation turns when build_context() injects them into the system prompt. Defanging breaks the structural interpretation while keeping the content readable.

Known Limitations

defang_delimiters covers the most common structural markers, not every possible one. Deliberately out of scope (treat the coverage table as honest scope, not a closed list):

• Unicode homoglyph dash runs (———, box-drawing characters) — only ASCII --- lines are rewritten.
• === setext-style underlines and other ASCII-art section breaks.
• Other chat-template dialects (e.g. Gemma <start_of_turn>) and dash runs longer than three (---- Label ----).
• Lines indented 4+ spaces are left alone entirely: CommonMark treats them as code blocks, and rewriting would corrupt legitimate indented literals such as diff headers ( --- a/file.py). Delimiters and fences indented 0-3 spaces/tabs are defanged with indentation preserved; speaker labels are defanged at any indentation since they are not markdown structure.

Treat the sanitizer as defense-in-depth for the remembered-content channel, not a complete injection filter.

Best Practices

1. Choose Appropriate Retention

# Short-lived assistant (customer support)
knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(max_log_days=7)

# Long-running personal assistant
knowledge = KnowledgeMemory(max_log_days=90)

2. Use Categories Consistently

# Establish category conventions
knowledge.remember("Name: Alice", category="personal", persistent=True)
knowledge.remember("Prefers dark mode", category="preferences", persistent=True)
knowledge.remember("Uses PostgreSQL", category="technical", persistent=True)
knowledge.remember("Meeting at 3pm", category="context", persistent=False)

3. Flag Important Facts as Persistent

# Transient -- will be pruned
knowledge.remember("Working on bug #1234 today", category="context")

# Persistent -- survives indefinitely
knowledge.remember("API key rotation policy: every 90 days", category="technical", persistent=True)

4. Inspect Stored Knowledge

# View persistent facts
facts = knowledge.get_persistent_facts()
for category, entries in facts.items():
    print(f"\n{category}:")
    for entry in entries:
        print(f"  - {entry}")

# View recent entries
recent = knowledge.get_recent_entries(days=3, limit=20)
for entry in recent:
    print(f"[{entry['timestamp']}] ({entry['category']}) {entry['content']}")

5. Separate Storage Per User

def create_agent_for_user(user_id: str) -> Agent:
    return Agent(
        tools=[...],
        provider=OpenAIProvider(),
        memory=ConversationMemory(),
        config=AgentConfig(
            knowledge_memory=KnowledgeMemory(
                storage_dir=f"./memory/{user_id}",
            ),
        ),
    )
