Local peer memory system for AI agents — zero-dependency, SQLite-native, FTS5 trigram retrieval with Dual Mirror architecture.

dyadcore

Local peer memory system for AI agents — zero dependencies, SQLite-native, FTS5 trigram retrieval.

The user and the agent are two poles of a magnetic field, jointly leaving traces in a relational field. Memory is not data — it is a trace that happens in the field.

Quick Start

from dyadcore import DyadCore

dc = DyadCore("agent_memory.db")

# Write traces
uid = dc.write("用户偏好本地部署", source="user", field="技术选型")
dc.anchor(uid)  # pin important memories

# Recall with semantic search + graph expansion
results = dc.recall("本地记忆方案", field_hint="技术选型")

dc.close()

Architecture: Dual Mirror

Mirror	Source	Role
User Mirror	source="user"	Records user behavior and expressions
Agent Mirror	source="agent"	Records agent observations and reasoning
Relation Network	reflections table	Cross-trace edges: triggered, echoed, contradicted, related

Retrieval pipeline (pure SQLite):

• Primary: FTS5 trigram with OR query construction (Chinese-friendly, zero-cost)
• Fallback: LIKE search for terms < 3 characters
• Graph expansion: 1-hop along reflections edges for semantic neighbors

API Overview

Core Operations

Method	Description
write(content, *, source, field, memory_type)	Write a trace, returns memory_id
write_batch(items)	Bulk write in a single transaction (5-10x faster)
recall(query, *, field_hint, limit)	Semantic recall with ranking
anchor(memory_id) / unanchor(memory_id)	Pin / unpin a memory
archive(memory_id) / unarchive(memory_id)	Archive / restore a memory

Relations

Method	Description
add_relation(source_id, target_id, type, strength)	Add a relation edge
get_relations(memory_id)	Get all edges for a memory
get_relation_graph(memory_id, max_depth)	Get subgraph via recursive CTE
get_contradicted_map(result_ids)	Get old→new mapping for evolution chains

Introspection

Method	Description
stats()	Total memories, active, anchored, fields, reflections
list_fields()	Field-level stats with polarity
list_by_field(field)	All memories in a field
field_snapshot(field)	Field strength, polarity, center of gravity
check_silence(days) / check_silence_by_field(days)	Find dormant memories

Design Constraints

• Single-file SQLite — no backend service, no config files
• Zero external dependencies — no sqlite-vec, no embedding model, no C extensions
• FTS5 trigram is the only retrieval engine (built into SQLite)
• Python >= 3.10

Agent Integration

Synchronous Agent Loop

from dyadcore import DyadCore
from hermes_bridge import should_recall, should_write_agent_self, format_for_prompt

dc = DyadCore("agent_memory.db")
history = []
agent_self_count = 0

for turn in conversation:
    field = infer_field_with_llm(turn["user_msg"])  # use your LLM for field classification

    if should_recall(history):
        results = dc.recall(turn["user_msg"], field_hint=field, limit=5)
        memory_context = format_for_prompt(results, dyadcore=dc)
        # inject memory_context into LLM system prompt

    dc.write(turn["user_msg"], source="user", field=field)
    dc.write(turn["agent_msg"], source="agent", field=field)

    if should_write_agent_self(history, agent_self_count):
        reflection = build_agent_reflection(history)  # use your LLM
        dc.write(reflection, source="agent", field=field)
        agent_self_count += 1

    history.append({"role": "user", "content": turn["user_msg"]})
    history.append({"role": "agent", "content": turn["agent_msg"]})

Async Agent Frameworks

dyadcore is synchronous (SQLite). For async agent frameworks, wrap calls with asyncio.to_thread:

import asyncio

results = await asyncio.to_thread(dc.recall, query, field_hint=field)
dc.write(query, source="user", field=field)  # writes are fast, no need to offload

Or use loop.run_in_executor for persistent thread pool reuse.

Bulk Import

items = [
    {"content": "msg1", "source": "user", "field": "onboarding"},
    {"content": "msg2", "source": "agent", "field": "onboarding"},
    # ... hundreds more
]
ids = dc.write_batch(items)  # single transaction

Running Tests

python test_dyadcore.py        # Full test suite (9 test classes)
python test_decay_topology.py  # Decay + topology verification
python test_real_data.py       # Integration test

Benchmarks

python benchmark.py          # Local performance (no LLM)
python eval_retrieval.py     # Retrieval quality (MRR, Hit Rate, NDCG)
