Method

方法

Phase 1: Triage (Read & Classify)

阶段1：分类筛选（阅读与分类）

Scan the raw input and classify each information unit:
TypeSignal WordsPriority Default
fact
"is", "has", "uses", dates, numbers, names5
decision
"decided", "chose", "will use", "going with"7
todo
"need to", "should", "TODO", "must", "remember to"6
error
"bug", "crash", "failed", "broken", "fix"7
insight
"realized", "learned", "turns out", "key takeaway"6
preference
"prefer", "always use", "never do", "convention"5
instruction
"rule:", "always:", "never:", "when X do Y"8
workflow
"process:", "steps:", "first...then...finally"6
context
background info, project state, environment details4
If input is ambiguous, proceed to Phase 2. If clear, skip to Phase 3.
扫描原始输入，对每个信息单元进行分类：
类型标识词默认优先级
fact
"是"、"有"、"使用"、日期、数字、名称5
decision
"决定"、"选择"、"将使用"、"采用"7
todo
"需要"、"应该"、"TODO"、"必须"、"记得要"6
error
"bug"、"崩溃"、"失败"、"损坏"、"修复"7
insight
"意识到"、"学到"、"结果是"、"关键要点"6
preference
"偏好"、"总是使用"、"从不做"、"惯例"5
instruction
"规则："、"总是："、"从不："、"当X时做Y"8
workflow
"流程："、"步骤："、"首先...然后...最后"6
context
背景信息、项目状态、环境细节4
如果输入存在歧义，进入阶段2；如果清晰明确，直接跳至阶段3。

Phase 2: Clarification (1-Question-at-a-Time)

阶段2：澄清确认（一次一个问题）

For each ambiguous item, ask ONE question with 2-4 multiple-choice options:
I found: "We're using PostgreSQL now"

What type of memory is this?
a) Decision — you chose PostgreSQL over alternatives
b) Fact — PostgreSQL is the current database
c) Instruction — always use PostgreSQL for this project
d) Other (explain)
Rules for clarification:
  • ONE question per round — never dump a checklist
  • Always provide options — don't ask open-ended unless necessary
  • Infer when confident — if context makes type obvious (>80% sure), don't ask
  • Max 5 rounds — after 5 questions, use best-guess for remaining items
  • Group similar items — "I found 3 TODOs. Confirm priority for all: [high/normal/low]?"
对于每个模糊的条目，提出一个带有2-4个选择题选项的问题：
I found: "We're using PostgreSQL now"

What type of memory is this?
a) Decision — you chose PostgreSQL over alternatives
b) Fact — PostgreSQL is the current database
c) Instruction — always use PostgreSQL for this project
d) Other (explain)
澄清规则：
  • 每次仅一个问题——切勿一次性抛出多个问题
  • 始终提供选项——除非必要，否则不要提出开放式问题
  • 有把握时自行推断——如果上下文足够明确（置信度>80%），无需提问
  • 最多5轮提问——5个问题后，对剩余条目进行最佳猜测
  • 相似条目分组——"我发现3个TODO条目，请确认所有条目的优先级：[高/普通/低]？"

Phase 3: Enrichment (Add Metadata)

阶段3：信息丰富（添加元数据）

For each classified item, determine:
  1. Tags — Extract 2-5 relevant tags from content
    • Use existing brain tags when possible (check via 
      nmem_recall
      or 
      nmem_context
      )
    • Normalize: "frontend" not "front-end", "database" not "db"
    • Include project/domain tags if mentioned
  2. Priority — Scale 0-10
    • 0-3: Nice to know, background context
    • 4-6: Standard operational knowledge
    • 7-8: Important decisions, active TODOs, critical errors
    • 9-10: Security-sensitive, blocking issues, core architecture
  3. Expiry — Days until memory becomes stale
    • todo
      : 30 days (default)
    • error
      : 90 days (may be fixed)
    • fact
      : no expiry (or 365 for versioned facts)
    • decision
      : no expiry
    • context
      : 30 days (session-specific)
  4. Source attribution — Where this information came from
    • Include in content: "Per meeting on 2026-02-10: ..."
    • Include in content: "From error log: ..."
对于每个已分类的条目，确定：
  1. 标签——从内容中提取2-5个相关标签
    • 尽可能使用现有大脑标签（通过
      nmem_recall
      或
      nmem_context
      查询）
    • 标准化：使用"frontend"而非"front-end"，"database"而非"db"
    • 如果提及，包含项目/领域标签
  2. 优先级——0-10分制
    • 0-3：可选了解的背景信息
    • 4-6：标准操作知识
    • 7-8：重要决策、待办事项、关键错误
    • 9-10：安全敏感信息、阻塞性问题、核心架构
  3. 有效期——记忆失效前的天数
    • todo
      ：30天（默认）
    • error
      ：90天（可能已修复）
    • fact
      ：无有效期（或版本化事实设为365天）
    • decision
      ：无有效期
    • context
      ：30天（会话特定）
  4. 来源归因——信息的来源
    • 在内容中注明："根据2026-02-10的会议：..."
    • 在内容中注明："来自错误日志：..."

Phase 4: Deduplication Check

阶段4：去重检查

Before storing, check for existing similar memories:
nmem_recall("PostgreSQL database decision")
If similar memory exists:
  • Identical: Skip, report as duplicate
  • Updated version: Store new, note supersedes old
  • Contradicts: Store with conflict flag, alert user
  • Complements: Store, note connection
存储前，检查是否存在相似的现有记忆：
nmem_recall("PostgreSQL database decision")
如果存在相似记忆：
  • 完全相同：跳过，报告为重复条目
  • 更新版本：存储新记忆，并注明替代旧记忆
  • 相互矛盾：存储时标记冲突，提醒用户
  • 互为补充：存储新记忆，并记录关联关系

Phase 5: Batch Store (with Confirmation)

阶段5：批量存储（需确认）

Present the batch to user before storing:
Ready to store 7 memories:

  1. [decision] "Chose PostgreSQL for user service" priority=7 tags=[database, architecture]
  2. [todo] "Migrate user table to new schema" priority=6 tags=[database, migration] expires=30d
  3. [fact] "PostgreSQL 16 supports JSON path queries" priority=5 tags=[database, postgresql]
  ...

Store all? [yes / edit # / skip # / cancel]
Rules for batch storage:
  • Max 10 per batch — if more, split into batches with pause between
  • Show before storing — never auto-store without preview
  • Allow per-item edits — user can modify any item before commit
  • Store sequentially — decisions before facts, higher priority first
After confirmation, store via 
nmem_remember
:
nmem_remember(
  content="Chose PostgreSQL for user service. Reason: better JSON support, team familiarity.",
  type="decision",
  priority=7,
  tags=["database", "architecture", "postgresql"],
)
在存储前向用户展示批次内容：
Ready to store 7 memories:

  1. [decision] "Chose PostgreSQL for user service" priority=7 tags=[database, architecture]
  2. [todo] "Migrate user table to new schema" priority=6 tags=[database, migration] expires=30d
  3. [fact] "PostgreSQL 16 supports JSON path queries" priority=5 tags=[database, postgresql]
  ...

Store all? [yes / edit # / skip # / cancel]
批量存储规则：
  • 每批最多10个记忆——如果数量超过，拆分批次并在中间暂停
  • 存储前展示——绝不自动存储而不提供预览
  • 允许逐条编辑——用户可在提交前修改任意条目
  • 按顺序存储——先存储决策类，再存储事实类；优先级高的先存储
用户确认后，通过
nmem_remember
存储：
nmem_remember(
  content="Chose PostgreSQL for user service. Reason: better JSON support, team familiarity.",
  type="decision",
  priority=7,
  tags=["database", "architecture", "postgresql"],
)

Phase 6: Report

阶段6：生成报告

Generate intake summary:
Intake Complete
  Stored: 7 memories (2 decisions, 3 facts, 1 todo, 1 insight)
  Skipped: 1 duplicate
  Conflicts: 0
  Gaps: 2 items need follow-up

Follow-up needed:
  - "Redis cache TTL" — what's the agreed TTL value?
  - "Deploy schedule" — weekly or bi-weekly?

Rules

规则

  • Never auto-store without user seeing the preview
  • Never guess security-sensitive information — ask explicitly
  • Prefer specific over vague — "PostgreSQL 16 on AWS RDS" over "using a database"
  • Include reasoning in decisions — "Chose X because Y" not just "Using X"
  • One concept per memory — don't cram multiple facts into one memory
  • Source attribution — always note where information came from when available
  • Respect existing brain vocabulary — check existing tags before inventing new ones
  • Vietnamese support — if input is Vietnamese, store in Vietnamese with Vietnamese tags
  • 绝不自动存储——必须让用户看到预览后再存储
  • 绝不猜测安全敏感信息——明确提问
  • 优先选择具体表述而非模糊表述——使用“AWS RDS上的PostgreSQL 16”而非“使用数据库”
  • 决策类记忆包含理由——使用“选择X因为Y”而非仅“使用X”
  • 每个记忆对应一个概念——不要将多个事实塞进一个记忆
  • 来源归因——只要有可用信息，始终注明信息来源
  • 尊重现有大脑词汇——在创建新标签前先检查现有标签
  • 越南语支持——如果输入为越南语，则以越南语存储并使用越南语标签
