AgentDB Memory Patterns

AgentDB Memory Patterns is a skill for Claude Code from shyftlabs/continuum. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,175 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of AgentDB Memory Patterns, Apache-2.0.

A guide for giving AI agents persistent memory with AgentDB, so they can retain conversations, learned patterns, and context between sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add session memory, long-term storage, context management, and memory-backed agent behavior.
Why use it?
It removes the need for agents to start every session without knowledge of earlier interactions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

AgentDB Memory Patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AgentDB Memory Patterns

What This Skill Does

Provides memory management patterns for AI agents using AgentDB's persistent storage and ReasoningBank integration. Enables agents to remember conversations, learn from interactions, and maintain context across sessions.

Performance: 150x-12,500x faster than traditional solutions with 100% backward compatibility.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • AgentDB v1.0.7+ (via agentic-flow or standalone)
  • Understanding of agent architectures

Quick Start with CLI

Initialize AgentDB

# Initialize vector database
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db

# Or with custom dimensions
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db --dimension 768

# Use preset configurations
npx agentdb@latest init ./agents.db --preset large

# In-memory database for testing
npx agentdb@latest init ./memory.db --in-memory

Start MCP Server for Claude Code

# Start MCP server (integrates with Claude Code)
npx agentdb@latest mcp

# Add to Claude Code (one-time setup)
claude mcp add agentdb npx agentdb@latest mcp

Create Learning Plugin

# Interactive plugin wizard
npx agentdb@latest create-plugin

# Use template directly
npx agentdb@latest create-plugin -t decision-transformer -n my-agent

# Available templates:
# - decision-transformer (sequence modeling RL)
# - q-learning (value-based learning)
# - sarsa (on-policy TD learning)
# - actor-critic (policy gradient)
# - curiosity-driven (exploration-based)

Quick Start with API

import { createAgentDBAdapter } from 'agentic-flow/reasoningbank';

// Initialize with default configuration
const adapter = await createAgentDBAdapter({
  dbPath: '.agentdb/reasoningbank.db',
  enableLearning: true,      // Enable learning plugins
  enableReasoning: true,      // Enable reasoning agents
  quantizationType: 'scalar', // binary | scalar | product | none
  cacheSize: 1000,            // In-memory cache
});

// Store interaction memory
const patternId = await adapter.insertPattern({
  id: '',
  type: 'pattern',
  domain: 'conversation',
  pattern_data: JSON.stringify({
    embedding: await computeEmbedding('What is the capital of France?'),
    pattern: {
      user: 'What is the capital of France?',
      assistant: 'The capital of France is Paris.',
      timestamp: Date.now()
    }
  }),
  confidence: 0.95,
  usage_count: 1,
  success_count: 1,
  created_at: Date.now(),
  last_used: Date.now(),
});

// Retrieve context with reasoning
const context = await adapter.retrieveWithReasoning(queryEmbedding, {
  domain: 'conversation',
  k: 10,
  useMMR: true,              // Maximal Marginal Relevance
  synthesizeContext: true,    // Generate rich context
});

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
