engramory: A Zero-Dependency Local Memory Protocol Plugin for DeepSeek Harness
tinqiao-oss/engramory
Engramory is a portable memory protocol for DeepSeek Harness, using zero-infrastructure Markdown files and an index for long-term memory, loaded as standing rules with a validator.
engramory is a memory protocol plugin for DeepSeek Harness that organizes AI agent long-term memory into a portable, zero-infrastructure local file system. It requires no database, embeddings, or server—just Markdown files plus an always-loaded index, making memory readable, editable, and diffable. Through a strict curation discipline and a validator, it ensures memory files follow the role/purpose ontology, dedup, and negative-scope rules, with an optional hard index cap. Ideal for developers who want plain-text, transparent, and controllable agent memory.

What Does It Do?
Engramory is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that turns agent memory into a portable, zero-infrastructure protocol based on local files. It solves the problem of unreliable long-term memory by enforcing a strict curation discipline and a validator, making memory human-readable, editable, and diffable plain-text files. Core capabilities include a role/purpose ontology, procedural memory via feedback type, dedup and update rules, and an optional hard index cap hook.
Core Features
- Role/purpose ontology: makes procedural feedback the spine, requiring Why and How to apply lines, instead of auto-extracting into a vector store.
- Curation contract: concrete behaviors like dedup-before-write, update-don't-duplicate, delete-when-wrong, and a negative-scope rule (don't store what git/CLAUDE.md/code already records).
- Validator: provides engramory_doctor.py to check compliance of memory files.
- Hard index cap hook: enforces an index cap for direct-edit tools (Edit, Write, MultiEdit), but not a global write guard.
- Zero dependency: no database, no embeddings, no server—just Markdown files plus an always-loaded index.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, load the protocol as standing rules (e.g., in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md) and follow the procedure in AGENT-SETUP.md. Memory is stored as small, human-readable Markdown files plus an always-loaded index; the model curates it, and the validator can be run periodically to check compliance. To adjust behavior, modify the rules file or the index cap configuration.
