Memento FAQs

Question 1

What is Memento?

Accepted Answer

Memento is an open-source middleware that acts as an autonomous nervous system for AI agents, providing local memory management, active code coercion, and robust goal alignment to transform them into proactive, context-aware pair-programmers.

Question 2

How does Memento manage AI agent memory locally?

Accepted Answer

Memento uses a zero-cost, local-first PageRank-optimized SQLite temporal graph combined with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). It leverages SQLite FTS5 for keyword searches and vector embeddings for semantic meaning, ensuring perfect retrieval.

Question 3

What is 'Active Coercion' and how does it prevent AI anti-patterns?

Accepted Answer

Active Coercion, Memento's 'Code Immune System,' uses deterministic regex/AST-based enforcement to prevent AI (or human) anti-patterns. It integrates with pre-commit hooks to block bad code and sends IDE runtime notifications.

Question 4

How does Memento ensure AI agents stay aligned with project goals?

Accepted Answer

The Tri-State Goal Enforcer keeps AI agents strictly aligned by injecting active goals into context, enforcing strict checkpoints for code/plan evaluation, and instructing agents to proactively query objectives before writing any code.

Question 5

Is Memento open-source and what are its licensing terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Memento is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). This license ensures it remains free and open-source, requiring users who modify and offer it as a network service to also release their source code under the same license.
