# memobase - 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: `memodb-io/memobase`
- capability: User Profile-Based Long-Term Memory for AI Chatbot Applications.
- expected_user_outcome: User Profile-Based Long-Term Memory for AI Chatbot Applications.

## 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.

- **Memobase Overview and System Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: readme.md, src/server/api/readme.md, src/server/api/DEVELOPMENT.md, src/server/readme.md, ROADMAP.md
- **Backend Server: FastAPI, Controllers, and Data Models**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/server/api/api.py, src/server/api/memobase_server/api_layer/user.py, src/server/api/memobase_server/api_layer/blob.py, src/server/api/memobase_server/api_layer/buffer.py, src/server/api/memobase_server/api_layer/profile.py
- **Client SDKs: Python, TypeScript, and Go**: importance `high`

  - source_paths: src/mcp/README.md, src/mcp/src/main.py, src/mcp/Dockerfile, src/mcp/pyproject.toml, src/server/docker-compose.yml

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `358c16bbc6d687937d79bc2f984a11c3be8da901`
- inspected_files: `readme.md`, `requirements.txt`, `docs/experiments/900-chats/readme.md`, `docs/experiments/900-chats/run.py`, `docs/experiments/900-chats/run_mem0.py`, `docs/experiments/900-chats/sharegpt_test_7uOhOjo.json`, `docs/experiments/chat_sessions/chats/mock_user/1.json`, `docs/experiments/chat_sessions/chats/mock_user/2.json`, `docs/experiments/chat_sessions/extract.py`, `docs/experiments/chat_sessions/readme.md`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/README.md`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/compute_p95_latency.py`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/evals.py`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/fixture/memobase/memobase_eval_0503_3000.json`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/fixture/memobase/memobase_eval_0710_3000.json`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/fixture/memobase/results_0503_3000.json`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/fixture/memobase/results_0710_3000.json`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/generate_scores.py`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/metrics/llm_judge.py`, `docs/experiments/locomo-benchmark/metrics/utils.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.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/memodb-io/memobase/issues/155
- Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.
