Give your AI agent
a real brain

Persistent memory across sessions. 4-layer recall, sleep maintenance, emotion tagging. SQLite-backed, offline-capable, works with any MCP host.

GitHub → npm Quick Start
$ npm install abmind

Why abmind?

AI agents forget everything between sessions. abmind fixes that.

🔍

4-Layer Recall

FTS5 full-text search, trigram fuzzy matching, semantic vector embeddings, and consolidated summaries. Every query hits all four layers and merges results.

🧠

Sleep Maintenance

24-step overnight consolidation cycle. Promotes important memories, demotes stale ones, checks contradictions, builds emotional arcs, compresses old data.

💜

Emotion Tagging

25 emotion types with scoring. Memories carry emotional context that shapes recall priority. High-emotion memories are automatically promoted to core tier.

🛡️

Injection Scanner

14 detection categories block prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and malicious input before it reaches memory. Fail-closed by default.

📦

Zero Dependencies on Hosts

Pure logic, no transport, no platform coupling. Works as an MCP server, CLI tool, OpenClaw plugin, or direct in-process integration.

🔒

Offline & Local

SQLite + local Ollama embeddings. Your memories stay on your machine. No cloud dependency for core functions. CIA+AAA security model on every memory.
