AgentDB Memory Patterns
What This Skill Does
Provides memory management patterns for AI agents using AgentDB's persistent storage and ReasoningBank integration. Enables agents to remember conversations, learn from interactions, and maintain context across sessions.
Performance: 150x-12,500x faster than traditional solutions with 100% backward compatibility.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- AgentDB v1.0.7+ (via agentic-flow or standalone)
- Understanding of agent architectures
Quick Start with CLI
Initialize AgentDB
# Initialize vector database
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db
# Or with custom dimensions
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db --dimension 768
# Use preset configurations
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db --preset large
# In-memory database for testing
npx agentdb@latest init ./memory.db --in-memory
Start MCP Server for Claude Code
# Start MCP server (integrates with Claude Code)
npx agentdb@latest mcp
# Add to Claude Code (one-time setup)
claude mcp add agentdb npx agentdb@latest mcp
Create Learning Plugin
# Interactive plugin wizard
npx agentdb@latest create-plugin
# Use template directly
npx agentdb@latest create-plugin -t decision-transformer -n my-agent
# Available templates:
# - decision-transformer (sequence modeling RL)
# - q-learning (value-based learning)
# - sarsa (on-policy TD learning)
# - actor-critic (policy gradient)
# - curiosity-driven (exploration-based)
Quick Start with API
import { createAgentDBAdapter } from 'agentic-flow/reasoningbank';
// Initialize with default configuration
const adapter = await createAgentDBAdapter({
dbPath: '.agentdb/reasoningbank.db',
enableLearning: true, // Enable learning plugins
enableReasoning: true, // Enable reasoning agents
quantizationType: 'scalar', // binary | scalar | product | none
cacheSize: 1000, // In-memory cache
});
// Store interaction memory
const patternId = await adapter.insertPattern({
id: '',
type: 'pattern',
domain: 'conversation',
pattern_data: JSON.stringify({
embedding: await computeEmbedding('What is the capital of France?'),
pattern: {
user: 'What is the capital of France?',
assistant: 'The capital of France is Paris.',
timestamp: Date.now()
}
}),
confidence: 0.95,
usage_count: 1,
success_count: 1,
created_at: Date.now(),
last_used: Date.now(),
});
// Retrieve context with reasoning
const context = await adapter.retrieveWithReasoning(queryEmbedding, {
domain: 'conversation',
k: 10,
useMMR: true, // Maximal Marginal Relevance
synthesizeContext: true, // Generate rich context
});
Memory Patterns
1. Session Memory
class SessionMemory {
async storeMessage(role: string, content: string) {
return await db.storeMemory({
sessionId: this.sessionId,
role,
content,
timestamp: Date.now()
});
}
async getSessionHistory(limit = 20) {
return await db.query({
filters: { sessionId: this.sessionId },
orderBy: 'timestamp',
limit
});
}
}
2. Long-Term Memory
// Store important facts
await db.storeFact({
category: 'user_preference',
key: 'language',
value: 'English',
confidence: 1.0,
source: 'explicit'
});
// Retrieve facts
const prefs = await db.getFacts({
category: 'user_preference'
});
3. Pattern Learning
// Learn from successful interactions
await db.storePattern({
trigger: 'user_asks_time',
response: 'provide_formatted_time',
success: true,
context: { timezone: 'UTC' }
});
// Apply learned patterns
const pattern = await db.matchPattern(currentContext);
Advanced Patterns
Hierarchical Memory
// Organize memory in hierarchy
await memory.organize({
immediate: recentMessages, // Last 10 messages
shortTerm: sessionContext, // Current session
longTerm: importantFacts, // Persistent facts
semantic: embeddedKnowledge // Vector search
});
Memory Consolidation
// Periodically consolidate memories
await memory.consolidate({
strategy: 'importance', // Keep important memories
maxSize: 10000, // Size limit
minScore: 0.5 // Relevance threshold
});
CLI Operations
Query Database
# Query with vector embedding
npx agentdb@latest query ./agents.db "[0.1,0.2,0.3,...]"
# Top-k results
npx agentdb@latest query ./agents.db "[0.1,0.2,0.3]" -k 10
# With similarity threshold
npx agentdb@latest query ./agents.db "0.1 0.2 0.3" -t 0.75
# JSON output
npx agentdb@latest query ./agents.db "[...]" -f json
Import/Export Data
# Export vectors to file
npx agentdb@latest export ./agents.db ./backup.json
# Import vectors from file
npx agentdb@latest import ./backup.json
# Get database statistics
npx agentdb@latest stats ./agents.db
Performance Benchmarks
# Run performance benchmarks
npx agentdb@latest benchmark
# Results show:
# - Pattern Search: 150x faster (100µs vs 15ms)
# - Batch Insert: 500x faster (2ms vs 1s)
# - Large-scale Query: 12,500x faster (8ms vs 100s)
Integration with ReasoningBank
import { createAgentDBAdapter, migrateToAgentDB } from 'agentic-flow/reasoningbank';
// Migrate from legacy ReasoningBank
const result = await migrateToAgentDB(
'.swarm/memory.db', // Source (legacy)
'.agentdb/reasoningbank.db' // Destination (AgentDB)
);
console.log(`✅ Migrated ${result.patternsMigrated} patterns`);
// Train learning model
const adapter = await createAgentDBAdapter({
enableLearning: true,
});
await adapter.train({
epochs: 50,
batchSize: 32,
});
// Get optimal strategy with reasoning
const result = await adapter.retrieveWithReasoning(queryEmbedding, {
domain: 'task-planning',
synthesizeContext: true,
optimizeMemory: true,
});

Reasoning Agents (4 Modules)
- PatternMatcher - Find similar patterns with HNSW indexing
- ContextSynthesizer - Generate rich context from multiple sources
- MemoryOptimizer - Consolidate similar patterns, prune low-quality
- ExperienceCurator - Quality-based experience filtering
Best Practices
- Enable quantization: Use scalar/binary for 4-32x memory reduction
- Use caching: 1000 pattern cache for <1ms retrieval
- Batch operations: 500x faster than individual inserts
- Train regularly: Update learning models with new experiences
- Enable reasoning: Automatic context synthesis and optimization
- Monitor metrics: Use
statscommand to track performance
Troubleshooting
Issue: Memory growing too large
# Check database size
npx agentdb@latest stats ./agents.db
# Enable quantization
# Use 'binary' (32x smaller) or 'scalar' (4x smaller)
Issue: Slow search performance
# Enable HNSW indexing and caching
# Results: <100µs search time
Issue: Migration from legacy ReasoningBank
# Automatic migration with validation
npx agentdb@latest migrate --source .swarm/memory.db
Performance Characteristics
- Vector Search: <100µs (HNSW indexing)
- Pattern Retrieval: <1ms (with cache)
- Batch Insert: 2ms for 100 patterns
- Memory Efficiency: 4-32x reduction with quantization
- Backward Compatibility: 100% compatible with ReasoningBank API

codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
