# MemOS - 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: `MemTensor/MemOS`
- capability: Self-evolving memory OS for LLM & AI Agents: ultra-persistent memory, hybrid-retrieval, and cross-task skill reuse, with 35.24% token savings
- expected_user_outcome: Self-evolving memory OS for LLM & AI Agents: ultra-persistent memory, hybrid-retrieval, and cross-task skill reuse, with 35.24% token savings

## 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.

  - source_paths: README.md, src/memos/mem_os/main.py, src/memos/mem_os/core.py, src/memos/mem_cube/base.py, docs/en/open_source/home/overview.md

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `a4f1b5be94b3ed1b78438375176320b04fa3cc44`
- inspected_files: `Dockerfile`, `README.md`, `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`, `docs/cn/open_source/best_practice/common_errors_solutions.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/best_practice/mcp_for_cozespace_and_tools.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/best_practice/memory_structure_design.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/best_practice/network_workarounds.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/best_practice/performance_tuning.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/commit_guidelines.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/development_workflow.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/overview.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/setting_up.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/writing_docs.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/contribution/writing_tests.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/evaluation/openai_memory_locomo_eval_guide.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/evaluation/overview.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/getting_started/examples.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/getting_started/installation.md`, `docs/cn/open_source/getting_started/rest_api_server.md`

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/MemTensor/MemOS/issues/1950
