ReasoningBank with AgentDB

ReasoningBank with AgentDB is a skill for Claude Code from shyftlabs/continuum. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,645 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ReasoningBank with AgentDB, Apache-2.0.

A ReasoningBank learning system backed by AgentDB, a database designed for storing and searching agent memories and experience records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement experience replay, adaptive decision-making, memory persistence, and pattern search for self-learning agents.
Why use it?
It gives agents a persistent place to track task paths, judge outcomes, distil memories, and retrieve patterns for later decisions.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

ReasoningBank with AgentDB 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 4d 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.

ReasoningBank with AgentDB

What This Skill Does

Provides ReasoningBank adaptive learning patterns using AgentDB's high-performance backend (150x-12,500x faster). Enables agents to learn from experiences, judge outcomes, distill memories, and improve decision-making over time with 100% backward compatibility.

Performance: 150x faster pattern retrieval, 500x faster batch operations, <1ms memory access.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • AgentDB v1.0.7+ (via agentic-flow)
  • Understanding of reinforcement learning concepts (optional)

Quick Start with CLI

Initialize ReasoningBank Database

# Initialize AgentDB for ReasoningBank
npx agentdb@latest init ./.agentdb/reasoningbank.db --dimension 1536

# Start MCP server for Claude Code integration
npx agentdb@latest mcp
claude mcp add agentdb npx agentdb@latest mcp

Migrate from Legacy ReasoningBank

# Automatic migration with validation
npx agentdb@latest migrate --source .swarm/memory.db

# Verify migration
npx agentdb@latest stats ./.agentdb/reasoningbank.db

Quick Start with API

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

// Initialize ReasoningBank with AgentDB
const rb = await createAgentDBAdapter({
  dbPath: '.agentdb/reasoningbank.db',
  enableLearning: true,      // Enable learning plugins
  enableReasoning: true,      // Enable reasoning agents
  cacheSize: 1000,            // 1000 pattern cache
});

// Store successful experience
const query = "How to optimize database queries?";
const embedding = await computeEmbedding(query);

await rb.insertPattern({
  id: '',
  type: 'experience',
  domain: 'database-optimization',
  pattern_data: JSON.stringify({
    embedding,
    pattern: {
      query,
      approach: 'indexing + query optimization',
      outcome: 'success',
      metrics: { latency_reduction: 0.85 }
    }
  }),
  confidence: 0.95,
  usage_count: 1,
  success_count: 1,
  created_at: Date.now(),
  last_used: Date.now(),
});

// Retrieve similar experiences with reasoning
const result = await rb.retrieveWithReasoning(embedding, {
  domain: 'database-optimization',
  k: 5,
  useMMR: true,              // Diverse results
  synthesizeContext: true,    // Rich context synthesis
});

console.log('Memories:', result.memories);
console.log('Context:', result.context);
console.log('Patterns:', result.patterns);

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.
