MindSlice
Portable memory for AI agents, with isolation and evolution built in.
Keep project knowledge, personal preferences and shared handbooks in plain Markdown. Mount what an agent needs, let it learn in its own workspace, and bake those learnings into reusable versions. Connect through MCP, the CLI or Python.
Why MindSlice?
Isolation. A slice is a folder of Markdown cards you can mount, unmount and share independently. Mounted slices stay read-only through the engine; new learning goes into a separate overlay. Multiple workspaces can reuse the same baseline while keeping their own changes. Pending edits stay outside live memory until approved.
Evolving memory. Cards can explicitly extend or supersede earlier knowledge, so
retrieval follows recorded relationships under your trust rules. bake turns selected
changes into new slice versions, preserving the original folders and returning the new paths.
Hot/cold memory focuses on what stays in context and what is retrieved later. LLM Wiki focuses on compiling sources into a maintained knowledge base. MindSlice makes memory boundaries and controlled evolution first-class engine operations. How these approaches fit together →
Python 3.12+. No runtime dependencies, database server or LLM API calls inside the engine.
Get started
Paste this into your coding agent:
Install MindSlice (`pipx install mindslice` or `uv tool install mindslice`),
then read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pancerZH/MindSlice/main/skills/mindslice-setup/SKILL.md to finish setup.
The agent helps you choose a workspace, connect your app, and choose how to start:
| Starting point | Tool |
|---|---|
| Empty memory or a short conversation | MindSlice init and ordinary memory writes |
| Existing MindSlice workspace | Connect it directly with -w |
Shared .slice or Markdown notes folder |
MindSlice mount, indexed as is |
| Documents to distill into structured cards | MindSlice-forge |
Forge is an optional document-conversion tool. It creates a new workspace using an agent harness; MindSlice handles storage, retrieval, mounting and memory evolution without needing Forge or an LLM. The builder skill guides conversion and integration with an existing workspace.
Prefer manual setup? With Python 3.12+ and pipx (or uv) installed:
pipx install mindslice # or: uv tool install mindslice
mindslice init ~/mindslice
(For local development from source: git clone https://github.com/pancerZH/MindSlice.git && cd MindSlice && pipx install -e ..)
Then connect your agent and tell it what to remember.
Run mindslice -w ~/mindslice doctor, then verify a new session.
