NEW: v2.6 — Security Hardening & Performance

SuperLocalMemory is now production-hardened with trust enforcement, rate limiting, and accelerated graph building.

What's New in v2.6	Why It Matters
Trust Enforcement	Agents with trust below 0.3 are blocked from write/delete — Bayesian scoring now actively protects your memory.
Profile Isolation	Memory profiles are fully sandboxed — no cross-profile data leakage.
Rate Limiting	Protects against memory flooding and spam from misbehaving agents.
SSRF Protection	Webhook dispatcher validates URLs to prevent server-side request forgery.
HNSW-Accelerated Graphs	Knowledge graph edge building uses HNSW index for faster construction at scale.
Hybrid Search Engine	Combined semantic + FTS5 + graph retrieval for maximum accuracy.

v2.5 highlights (included): Real-time event stream, WAL-mode concurrent writes, agent tracking, memory provenance, 28 API endpoints.

Upgrade: npm install -g superlocalmemory@latest

Dashboard: python3 ~/.claude-memory/ui_server.py then open http://localhost:8765

NEW: Framework Integrations (v2.5.1)

Use SuperLocalMemory as a memory backend in your LangChain and LlamaIndex applications — 100% local, zero cloud.

LangChain

pip install langchain-superlocalmemory

from langchain_superlocalmemory import SuperLocalMemoryChatMessageHistory
from langchain_core.runnables.history import RunnableWithMessageHistory

history = SuperLocalMemoryChatMessageHistory(session_id="my-session")
# Messages persist across sessions, stored locally in ~/.claude-memory/memory.db

LlamaIndex

pip install llama-index-storage-chat-store-superlocalmemory

from llama_index.storage.chat_store.superlocalmemory import SuperLocalMemoryChatStore
from llama_index.core.memory import ChatMemoryBuffer

chat_store = SuperLocalMemoryChatStore()
memory = ChatMemoryBuffer.from_defaults(chat_store=chat_store, chat_store_key="user-1")

LangChain Guide | LlamaIndex Guide

Install in One Command

npm install -g superlocalmemory

Or clone manually:

git clone https://github.com/varun369/SuperLocalMemoryV2.git && cd SuperLocalMemoryV2 && ./install.sh

Both methods auto-detect and configure 17+ IDEs and AI tools — Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, Codex, Claude, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, and more.

The Problem

Every time you start a new Claude session:

You: "Remember that authentication bug we fixed last week?"
Claude: "I don't have access to previous conversations..."
You: *sighs and explains everything again*

AI assistants forget everything between sessions. You waste time re-explaining your:

• Project architecture
• Coding preferences
• Previous decisions
• Debugging history

The Solution

# Install in one command
npm install -g superlocalmemory

# Save a memory
superlocalmemoryv2:remember "Fixed auth bug - JWT tokens were expiring too fast, increased to 24h"

# Later, in a new session...
superlocalmemoryv2:recall "auth bug"
# ✓ Found: "Fixed auth bug - JWT tokens were expiring too fast, increased to 24h"

Your AI now remembers everything. Forever. Locally. For free.

---

🔍 Advanced Search

SuperLocalMemory V2.2.0 implements hybrid search combining multiple strategies for maximum accuracy.

Search Strategies

Strategy	Method	Best For
Semantic Search	TF-IDF vectors + cosine similarity	Conceptual queries ("authentication patterns")
Full-Text Search	SQLite FTS5 with ranking	Exact phrases ("JWT tokens expire")
Graph-Enhanced	Knowledge graph traversal	Related concepts ("show auth-related")
Hybrid Mode	All three combined	General queries (default)

Search Examples

# Semantic: finds conceptually similar
slm recall "security best practices"
# Matches: "JWT implementation", "OAuth flow", "CSRF protection"

# Exact: finds literal text
slm recall "PostgreSQL 15"
# Matches: exactly "PostgreSQL 15"

# Graph: finds related via clusters
slm recall "authentication" --use-graph
# Matches: JWT, OAuth, sessions (via "Auth & Security" cluster)

# Hybrid: best of all worlds (default)
slm recall "API design patterns"
# Combines semantic + exact + graph for optimal results

Measured Search Latency

Database Size	Median	P95	P99
100 memories	10.6ms	14.9ms	15.8ms
500 memories	65.2ms	101.7ms	112.5ms
1,000 memories	124.3ms	190.1ms	219.5ms

For typical personal databases (under 500 memories), search returns faster than you blink. Full benchmarks →

⚡ Measured Performance

All numbers measured on real hardware (Apple M4 Pro, 24GB RAM). No estimates — real benchmarks.

Search Speed

Database Size	Median Latency	P95 Latency
100 memories	10.6ms	14.9ms
500 memories	65.2ms	101.7ms
1,000 memories	124.3ms	190.1ms

For typical personal use (under 500 memories), search results return faster than you blink.

Concurrent Writes — Zero Errors

Scenario	Writes/sec	Errors
1 AI tool writing	204/sec	0
2 AI tools simultaneously	220/sec	0
5 AI tools simultaneously	130/sec	0
10 AI tools simultaneously	25/sec	0

WAL mode + serialized write queue = zero "database is locked" errors, ever.

Storage

10,000 memories = 13.6 MB on disk (~1.9 KB per memory). Your entire AI memory history takes less space than a photo.

Trust Defense

Bayesian trust scoring achieves perfect separation (trust gap = 1.0) between honest and malicious agents. Detects "sleeper" attacks with 74.7% trust drop. Zero false positives.

Graph Construction

Memories	Build Time
100	0.28s
1,000	10.6s

Leiden clustering discovers 6-7 natural topic communities automatically.

Graph Scaling: Knowledge graph features work best with up to 10,000 memories. For larger databases, the system uses intelligent sampling (most recent + highest importance memories) for graph construction. Core search and memory storage have no upper limit.

LoCoMo benchmark results coming soon — evaluation against the standardized LoCoMo long-conversation memory benchmark (Snap Research, ACL 2024).

Knowledge Graph (It's Magic)

# Build the graph from your memories
python ~/.claude-memory/graph_engine.py build

# Output:
# ✓ Processed 47 memories
# ✓ Created 12 clusters:
#   - "Authentication & Tokens" (8 memories)
#   - "Performance Optimization" (6 memories)
#   - "React Components" (11 memories)
#   - "Database Queries" (5 memories)
#   ...

The graph automatically discovers relationships. Ask "what relates to auth?" and get JWT, session management, token refresh—even if you never tagged them together.

Pattern Learning (It Knows You)

# Learn patterns from your memories
python ~/.claude-memory/pattern_learner.py update

# Get your coding identity
python ~/.claude-memory/pattern_learner.py context 0.5

# Output:
# Your Coding Identity:
# - Framework preference: React (73% confidence)
# - Style: Performance over readability (58% confidence)
# - Testing: Jest + React Testing Library (65% confidence)
# - API style: REST over GraphQL (81% confidence)

Your AI assistant can now match your preferences automatically.

MACLA Confidence Scoring (v2.4.0): Confidence uses a Bayesian Beta-Binomial posterior (Forouzandeh et al., arXiv:2512.18950). Pattern-specific priors, log-scaled competition, recency bonus. Range: 0.0–0.95 (hard cap prevents overconfidence).

Multi-Profile Support

# Work profile
superlocalmemoryv2:profile create work --description "Day job"
superlocalmemoryv2:profile switch work

# Personal projects
superlocalmemoryv2:profile create personal
superlocalmemoryv2:profile switch personal

# Client projects (completely isolated)
superlocalmemoryv2:profile create client-acme

Each profile has isolated memories, graphs, and patterns. No context bleeding.
