Memory architecture recommendation
Knowledge Graph / RAG Plan
The old Exocortex contains valuable indexed material, but it is brittle. The sane architecture is a provenance-first Markdown wiki + vector search + graph database, exposed to Hermes through a small local API or MCP server.
What Hermes already gives us
- Curated MEMORY/USER facts.
- Native FTS/session_search over past chats.
- Skills as procedural memory.
- Optional external memory providers, but none should replace a project KB.
What to build next
- Repair Exocortex as read-only legacy bridge.
- Export Chroma + graph metadata with provenance.
- Use Markdown wiki as canonical human-readable store.
- Use Qdrant for vectors and Kuzu/Graphiti for graph/temporal memory.
- Publish safe graph visualisations here; keep sensitive sources private.
