# agent-memory - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `neo4j-labs/agent-memory`
- capability: A graph-native memory system for AI agents and context graphs. Store conversations, build knowledge graphs, and let your agents learn from their own reasoning\u2009—\u2009all backed by Neo4j.
- expected_user_outcome: A graph-native memory system for AI agents and context graphs. Store conversations, build knowledge graphs, and let your agents learn from their own reasoning\u2009—\u2009all backed by Neo4j.

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `f29ae8dd86221bd5ace94d6c39711c38b0a6cdde`
- inspected_files: `uv.lock`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, `docs/vercel.json`, `docs/antora-playbook.yml`, `docs/antora.yml`, `docs/package-lock.json`, `docs/package.json`, `docs/assets/images/diagrams/diagram-descriptions.md`, `examples/basic_usage.py`, `examples/entity_resolution.py`, `examples/langchain_agent.py`, `examples/enrichment_example.py`, `examples/README.md`, `examples/pydantic_ai_agent.py`, `examples/domain-schemas/podcast_transcripts.py`, `examples/domain-schemas/news_articles.py`, `examples/domain-schemas/business_reports.py`, `examples/domain-schemas/legal_documents.py`, `examples/domain-schemas/scientific_papers.py`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
