# Conversational Activation Architecture for cortexgraph **Document Type**: Architectural Plan **Created**: 2025-11-04 **Status**: Approved, Ready for Implementation **STOPPER Protocol Applied**: Yes (Full 7-step analysis completed) --- ## Executive Summary This document outlines a comprehensive plan to add **conversational activation** to cortexgraph, transforming it from sporadic LLM-dependent memory capture to reliable, preprocessing-assisted activation. The solution adds a preprocessing layer that automatically detects save-worthy content and provides activation signals + pre-filled parameters to the LLM. **Expected Impact**: 85-90% improvement in activation reliability (from ~40% to 85-90%) **Timeline**: 9 weeks to production-ready system **Core Innovation**: Hybrid architecture combining deterministic preprocessing with LLM judgment, reducing executive function load while preserving flexibility. --- ## Problem Statement ### Current State Memory saves in cortexgraph depend entirely on the LLM explicitly calling the `save_memory` MCP tool. No automatic pattern detection, entity extraction, intent classification, or importance scoring exists. ### Root Cause Analysis The LLM must simultaneously: - Conduct natural conversation with the user - Decide when to save information to memory - Extract entities from conversation - Infer appropriate tags - Determine importance/strength values - Remember to call tools consistently across long conversations **Result**: Sporadic activation, missed memories, inconsistent parameter values, high cognitive load. ### Why This Matters From user perspective: - "I told you I prefer TypeScript, why did you forget?" - "I said 'remember this' but you didn't save it" - Inconsistent experience undermines trust From system perspective: - cortexgraph has excellent temporal memory foundations (decay, spaced repetition, knowledge graph) - Activation is the bottleneck preventing production readiness - Reliability cannot depend solely on LLM consistency --- ## Research Findings ### Current cortexgraph Architecture **Core Components Analyzed**: - **MCP Server** (`server.py`): FastMCP-based with 13 tools - **Storage Layer** (`storage/jsonl_storage.py`): JSONL with in-memory indexes - **Memory Models** (`storage/models.py`): Pydantic models with temporal fields - **Tool Layer** (`tools/`): save, search, observe, promote, consolidate, etc. **Existing Activation Mechanisms**: 1. **Explicit API Calls** (Primary): LLM must invoke `save_memory` tool 2. **Smart Prompting** (Documentation only): Patterns exist in `docs/prompts/memory_system_prompt.md` but no code implementation 3. **Natural Spaced Repetition** (v0.5.1): Post-retrieval reinforcement via `observe_memory_usage` 4. **Search Integration**: Review candidate blending (affects retrieval, not capture) **Critical Finding**: All saves are explicit LLM-initiated MCP tool calls. NO automatic detection exists. ### State-of-the-Art Research (2024-2025) **1. Mem0 Architecture (ArXiv 2504.19413v1)** - Two-phase pipeline: Extraction → Update - 26% accuracy boost over OpenAI's memory feature - 91% lower latency vs. full-context approach - Still LLM-driven but uses multi-message context **2. Knowledge Graph Construction with LLMs** - Hybrid LLM + structured NLP pipelines outperform pure LLM - Dedicated entity extraction filters reduce noise - Domain-specific pre-training enhances NER sensitivity **3. Intent Detection with Transformers** - BERT-based models achieve 85%+ accuracy - Fine-tuning on small datasets (100-500 examples) is effective - Enables automatic triggering of memory operations **4. Entity Linking and Relationship Extraction** - Multi-stage pipelines: NER → Linking → Relation Extraction - spaCy provides production-ready NER with minimal setup - Transformers models (REBEL, Relik) for relation extraction **5. Personal Knowledge Management Trends** - Zero-effort capture expectation (Mem.ai, MyMind) - AI-powered automatic tagging - Conversational interfaces over manual organization **Key Insight**: Modern systems use **preprocessing + LLM confirmation**, not LLM-only reasoning. ### Gap Analysis **Critical Gaps Identified**: 1. ❌ **No Automatic Pattern Detection Layer**: LLM decides when to save based on system prompt alone 2. ❌ **No Entity Extraction Pipeline**: `entities` field exists but populated manually 3. ❌ **No Tag Inference System**: `tags` field populated manually 4. ❌ **No Importance Scoring**: `strength` parameter set manually 5. ❌ **No Intent Classification**: No detection of preference vs. decision vs. fact 6. ❌ **No Phrase Trigger Detection**: No pattern matching for "remember this", "important" 7. ❌ **LLM-Dependent Activation Logic**: All decisions made by LLM reasoning **Root Cause Summary**: cortexgraph has excellent foundations but lacks the preprocessing layer that makes activation reliable. --- ## Solution Architecture ### MCP Architectural Constraints (CRITICAL) **Important**: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) does NOT allow message interception before the LLM sees user input. The architecture is: ``` User Message → Claude LLM (ALWAYS FIRST) → MCP Tools → Results → Claude ``` **NOT possible**: ``` User Message → Preprocessing → Claude LLM ❌ IMPOSSIBLE IN MCP ``` This means we **cannot** intercept and enrich messages before Claude sees them. We can only: 1. ✅ Auto-enrich tool parameters when tools are called 2. ✅ Provide helper tools (analyze_message) that Claude can call 3. ✅ Enhance system prompts to guide Claude's behavior 4. ❌ Intercept user messages before Claude receives them For true pre-LLM preprocessing, you would need: - HTTP proxy (like claude-llm-proxy for Claude Code CLI) - works, but only for HTTP API - Modified Claude Desktop client (not practical) - Custom MCP host application (significant engineering effort) ### Realistic MCP Architecture ``` User Message ↓ Claude LLM (receives message first) ↓ Claude decides to call MCP tool ↓ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ MCP Tool Call (e.g., save_memory) │ │ │ │ [PREPROCESSING HAPPENS HERE] │ │ ┌────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ 1.

Call: `analyze_message("I prefer TypeScript")` - Returns: `{should_save: true, entities: ["typescript"], strength: 1.0}` - LLM uses signals to decide whether to call save_memory ### Design Principles 1. **Work Within MCP Constraints**: No impossible pre-LLM interception 2. **Deterministic + Flexible**: Preprocessing provides reliable defaults, LLM can override 3. **Low Latency**: Lightweight models (spaCy, regex) for real-time inference 4. **Graceful Degradation**: System works even if preprocessing fails 5. **Progressive Enhancement**: Each component adds value independently 6. **Configurable**: Enable/disable features, tune thresholds --- ## Implementation Plan ### Phase 1: Quick Wins (1 week, 40-50% improvement) **Timeline**: Week 1 **Effort**: 3-4 days development + 2-3 days testing **Risk**: Low (simple, deterministic components) #### Component 1.1: Phrase Detector **Purpose**: Detect explicit memory requests with 100% reliability **Implementation**: ```python # src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/phrase_detector.py import re from typing import List, Dict EXPLICIT_SAVE_PHRASES = [ r"\b(remember|don't forget|keep in mind|make a note)\b", r"\b(never forget|write this down|document this)\b", r"\b(save this|store this|record this)\b", ] EXPLICIT_RECALL_PHRASES = [ r"\bwhat did (i|we) (say|tell you|discuss)\b", r"\bdo you remember\b", r"\brecall\b", ] EXPLICIT_IMPORTANCE = [ r"\b(important|critical|crucial|essential)\b", r"\b(very|really|extremely)\s+(important|critical)\b", ] class PhraseDetector: def __init__(self): self.save_patterns = [re.compile(p, re.IGNORECASE) for p in EXPLICIT_SAVE_PHRASES] self.recall_patterns = [re.compile(p, re.IGNORECASE) for p in EXPLICIT_RECALL_PHRASES] self.importance_patterns = [re.compile(p, re.IGNORECASE) for p in EXPLICIT_IMPORTANCE] def detect(self, text: str) -> Dict[str, any]: return { "save_request": any(p.search(text) for p in self.save_patterns), "recall_request": any(p.search(text) for p in self.recall_patterns), "importance_marker": any(p.search(text) for p in self.importance_patterns), "matched_phrases": self._get_matches(text), } def _get_matches(self, text: str) -> List[str]: matches = [] for p in self.save_patterns + self.recall_patterns + self.importance_patterns: if match := p.search(text): matches.append(match.group()) return matches ``` **Integration Point**: Run before LLM receives message, add signals to system context **Test Coverage**: -

`MUST_SAVE`: Explicit save request ("remember this") → Always call save_memory - `SHOULD_SAVE`: High-confidence save-worthy content → Usually call save_memory - `SHOULD_SEARCH`: User asking about past info → Call search_memory - `NONE`: No strong signal → Use your judgment **Intent Types**: - `SAVE_PREFERENCE`: User preference ("I prefer X") - `SAVE_DECISION`: Decision made ("We decided to...") - `SAVE_FACT`: Important fact ("The API key is...") - `RECALL_INFO`: Asking about past ("What did I say about...") - `GENERAL_QUESTION`: General query - `GREETING`: Social interaction **Example Workflow**: ``` User: "I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript for new projects" You: analyze_message("I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript for new projects") Result: { "action_recommendation": "SHOULD_SAVE", "intent": "SAVE_PREFERENCE", "confidence": 0.87, "suggested_entities": ["typescript", "javascript"], "suggested_strength": 1.2 } You: save_memory( content="I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript for new projects", entities=["typescript", "javascript"], # From analyze_message strength=1.2, # From analyze_message tags=["preference", "programming"] ) ``` **Auto-Enrichment Fallback**: If you don't call analyze_message first, save_memory will still auto-populate entities and strength, but without intent-aware optimization. ``` **Configuration**: ```python # src/cortexgraph/config.py (new section) # Conversational Activation CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_PREPROCESSING", "true").lower() == "true" CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_MODEL_PATH = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_MODEL_PATH", "./models/intent_classifier") CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD", "0.7")) CORTEXGRAPH_AUTO_SAVE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_AUTO_SAVE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD", "0.8")) CORTEXGRAPH_SPACY_MODEL = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_SPACY_MODEL", "en_core_web_sm") ``` #### Phase 2 Deliverables - ✅ Intent classification training dataset (600-3000 examples) - ✅ Training script (`scripts/train_intent_classifier.py`) - ✅ Trained DistilBERT model checkpoint - ✅ `src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/intent_classifier.py` - ✅ Enhanced `src/cortexgraph/tools/analyze.py` with intent classification - ✅ Updated system prompt with action recommendations and intent types - ✅ Configuration options in `config.py` - ✅ `tests/preprocessing/test_intent_classifier.py` -

✅ Implicit preferences detected (e.g., "I prefer X" → SAVE_PREFERENCE intent) - ✅ analyze_message provides SHOULD_SAVE recommendation for 90%+ of save-worthy content - ✅ 60-70% improvement in overall activation reliability (still LLM-dependent for "when to call") **Note on Reliability Ceiling**: Within MCP constraints, we cannot achieve 85-90% reliability for automatic saves because: - Claude must still decide when to call analyze_message or save_memory - We cannot intercept messages before Claude sees them - System prompt guidance can only achieve ~70-80% consistency For higher reliability, consider: - HTTP proxy approach (like claude-llm-proxy for Claude Code CLI) - MCP-to-MCP proxy server (future enhancement) - Custom MCP host application --- ### Phase 3: Advanced Features (4 weeks, 85-90% improvement) **Timeline**: Weeks 5-8 **Effort**: 1 week per component **Risk**: Medium-High (complex features, integration challenges) #### Component 3.1: Tag Suggester **Purpose**: Automatically suggest tags to improve search and cross-domain detection **Approaches**: **1. Keyword Extraction (KeyBERT)**: ```python # src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/tag_suggester.py from keybert import KeyBERT class TagSuggester: def __init__(self): self.model = KeyBERT() def suggest_tags(self, text: str, top_k: int = 5) -> List[str]: keywords = self.model.extract_keywords( text, keyphrase_ngram_range=(1, 2), stop_words="english", top_n=top_k, ) return [kw[0] for kw in keywords] ``` **2.

Hybrid Approach**: - Extract keywords via KeyBERT (content-specific) - Classify into categories via zero-shot (broad themes) - Combine and rank by relevance **Integration**: - Pre-fill `tags` parameter for `save_memory` - LLM reviews and adjusts as needed - User feedback loop: Track accepted vs. rejected suggestions #### Component 3.2: Multi-Message Context **Purpose**: Improve extraction of implicit preferences from conversation history **Implementation**: ```python # src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/context_manager.py from collections import deque from typing import List, Dict class ConversationContext: def __init__(self, max_messages: int = 10): self.buffer = deque(maxlen=max_messages) def add_message(self, role: str, content: str): self.buffer.append({"role": role, "content": content}) def get_context(self, window_size: int = 5) -> List[Dict]: return list(self.buffer)[-window_size:] def generate_summary(self) -> str: # TODO: Use LLM to generate rolling summary of conversation # Useful for detecting patterns across multiple turns pass ``` **Use Cases**: - User states preference across multiple messages - Decision emerges from discussion (not single statement) - Fact mentioned indirectly, then clarified later **Integration Point**: Pass context to intent classifier and tag suggester #### Component 3.3: Automatic Deduplication **Purpose**: Prevent redundant saves by detecting similar existing memories **Implementation**: ```python # src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/dedup_checker.py from .storage import JSONLStorage from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util class DeduplicationChecker: def __init__(self, storage: JSONLStorage, similarity_threshold: float = 0.85): self.storage = storage self.threshold = similarity_threshold self.embedder = SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2") def check_before_save(self, content: str, entities: List[str]) -> Dict: # Search for similar memories candidates = self.storage.search(content, top_k=5) if not candidates: return {"is_duplicate": False} # Calculate semantic similarity new_embedding = self.embedder.encode(content, convert_to_tensor=True) similarities = [] for candidate in candidates: candidate_embedding = self.embedder.encode(candidate["content"], convert_to_tensor=True) similarity = util.cos_sim(new_embedding, candidate_embedding).item() similarities.append((candidate, similarity)) # Find best match best_match, best_score = max(similarities, key=lambda x: x[1]) if best_score > self.threshold: return { "is_duplicate": True, "similar_memory": best_match, "similarity_score": best_score, "recommendation": "MERGE" if best_score > 0.9 else "REVIEW", } return {"is_duplicate": False} ``` **Integration**: - Run before calling `save_memory` - If duplicate detected, prompt LLM: "Similar memory exists (score: 0.92). Options: 1) Merge, 2) Save as new, 3) Skip" - LLM decides based on context **Relation to Existing Tools**: - Complements existing `consolidate_memories` tool (proactive vs. reactive) - Uses same similarity logic as `cluster_memories` #### Phase 3 Deliverables - ✅ `src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/tag_suggester.py` - ✅ `src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/context_manager.py` - ✅ `src/cortexgraph/preprocessing/dedup_checker.py` - ✅ Integration tests for multi-message scenarios - ✅ User acceptance testing (A/B test: old vs. new) - ✅ Performance benchmarks (latency, accuracy) - ✅ Documentation updates **Success Criteria**: - ✅ Tags automatically suggested and accepted 70%+ of time - ✅ Multi-message context improves implicit preference detection by 20%+ - ✅ Near-duplicate detection prevents redundant saves (false positive rate <5%) - ✅ 85-90% overall improvement in activation reliability --- ## Testing Strategy ### Unit Tests **Phase 1 Components**: ```python # tests/preprocessing/test_phrase_detector.py def test_explicit_save_phrases(): detector = PhraseDetector() test_cases = [ ("Remember this for later", True), ("Don't forget to use TypeScript", True), ("This is important", True), ("Just a regular message", False), ] for text, expected in test_cases: result = detector.detect(text) assert result["save_request"] == expected def test_case_insensitivity(): detector = PhraseDetector() assert detector.detect("REMEMBER THIS")["save_request"] assert detector.detect("remember this")["save_request"] assert detector.detect("ReMeMbEr ThIs")["save_request"] ``` **Phase 2 Components**: ```python # tests/preprocessing/test_intent_classifier.py def test_intent_classification_accuracy(): classifier = IntentClassifier() test_set = load_test_set() # Held-out 20% of training data correct = 0 total = len(test_set) for example in test_set: result = classifier.classify(example["text"]) if result["intent"] == example["label"]: correct += 1 accuracy = correct / total assert accuracy > 0.85 # 85% accuracy target ``` ### Integration Tests ```python # tests/integration/test_preprocessing_pipeline.py async def test_end_to_end_activation(): """Test complete flow: message → preprocessing → LLM → save""" # Setup mcp_server = setup_test_server() test_message = "I prefer TypeScript for backend projects" # Execute signals = await mcp_server.preprocess_message(test_message) # Verify preprocessing assert signals["intent"] == "SAVE_PREFERENCE" assert signals["intent_confidence"] > 0.7 assert "TypeScript" in signals["entities"] assert signals["suggested_strength"] > 1.0 assert signals["action_recommendation"] == "SHOULD_SAVE" # Simulate LLM calling save_memory with pre-filled params memory_id = await mcp_server.save_memory( content="User prefers TypeScript for backend projects", entities=signals["entities"], tags=["preferences", "typescript", "backend"], strength=signals["suggested_strength"], ) # Verify save memory = await mcp_server.storage.get_memory(memory_id) assert memory is not None assert "TypeScript" in memory.entities ``` ### User Acceptance Testing (UAT) **A/B Test Design**: - **Control Group**: Current cortexgraph (LLM-only activation) - **Treatment Group**: New cortexgraph (preprocessing + LLM) - **Sample Size**: 20-30 users, 2 weeks of usage - **Metrics**: - Save rate (% of messages resulting in saves) - User satisfaction (survey: "Did system miss anything important?") - False positive rate (unnecessary saves) - False negative rate (missed important information) **Success Criteria**: - Treatment group: 85-90% save rate on save-worthy content - Control group: ~40% save rate (baseline) - User satisfaction: 8/10 or higher - False positive rate: <10% - False negative rate: <5% (excluding ambiguous cases) --- ## Integration Points ### 1.

System Prompt Enhancement **File**: `docs/prompts/memory_system_prompt.md` **New Section** (to be appended): ```markdown --- ## Activation Signals (Preprocessing) You receive preprocessing signals with each user message to assist memory decisions. ### Signal Types **1. Action Recommendations** - `MUST_SAVE`: Explicit user request ("remember this") - mandatory save - `SHOULD_SAVE`: High-confidence save-worthy content - strongly recommended - `SHOULD_SEARCH`: User asking for past info - search recommended - `NONE`: No strong signal, use your judgment **2. Pre-filled Parameters** When save is recommended, you receive: - `entities`: Auto-extracted entities (PERSON, ORG, PRODUCT, etc.) - `suggested_strength`: Importance score (0.0-2.0) - `suggested_tags`: Relevant tags from content - `intent`: Content type (PREFERENCE, DECISION, FACT, etc.) **3. Deduplication Alerts** If similar memory exists: - `similar_memory`: Existing memory content - `similarity_score`: How similar (0.0-1.0) - `recommendation`: MERGE or REVIEW ### How to Use Signals **When action is MUST_SAVE**: 1. Review pre-filled parameters 2. Adjust if needed (add context, refine tags) 3. Call `save_memory` with parameters **When action is SHOULD_SAVE**: 1. Confirm content is save-worthy given full context 2. Adjust parameters as needed 3. Call `save_memory` if confirmed **When action is SHOULD_SEARCH**: 1. Call `search_memory` with relevant query 2. Surface information to user **When deduplication alert**: 1. Review similar memory 2. Decide: MERGE (update existing), NEW (save anyway), SKIP (don't save) 3. Explain decision to user ### Important Notes - Preprocessing is **assistance**, not mandate - You have final say on all memory operations - Use your judgment for edge cases - If uncertain, err toward saving (decay handles false positives) - Signals improve reliability but don't replace reasoning ``` ### 3. Configuration File **File**: `src/cortexgraph/config.py` **New Section**: ```python # ============================================================================ # Conversational Activation Configuration # ============================================================================ # Enable/disable preprocessing layer CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_PREPROCESSING", "true").lower() == "true" # Intent Classification CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_MODEL_PATH = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_MODEL_PATH", "./models/intent_classifier") CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_INTENT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD", "0.7")) CORTEXGRAPH_AUTO_SAVE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_AUTO_SAVE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD", "0.8")) # Entity Extraction CORTEXGRAPH_SPACY_MODEL = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_SPACY_MODEL", "en_core_web_sm") # Tag Suggestion CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_TAG_SUGGESTION = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_TAG_SUGGESTION", "true").lower() == "true" CORTEXGRAPH_TAG_SUGGESTION_TOP_K = int(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_TAG_SUGGESTION_TOP_K", "5")) # Conversation Context CORTEXGRAPH_CONTEXT_WINDOW_SIZE = int(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_CONTEXT_WINDOW_SIZE", "10")) # Deduplication CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_DEDUP_CHECK = os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_ENABLE_DEDUP_CHECK", "true").lower() == "true" CORTEXGRAPH_DEDUP_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD = float(os.getenv("CORTEXGRAPH_DEDUP_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD", "0.85")) ``` --- ## Dependencies ### Python Packages **Phase 1**: ```toml # pyproject.toml additions [project.dependencies] # Existing dependencies... spacy = "^3.7.0" ``` **Installation**: ```bash pip install spacy python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm ``` **Phase 2**: ```toml transformers = "^4.35.0" torch = "^2.1.0" # or tensorflow scikit-learn = "^1.3.0" ``` **Phase 3**: ```toml keybert = "^0.8.0" sentence-transformers = "^2.2.0" ``` ### Model Storage **Models to download/train**: - `en_core_web_sm`: 17MB (spaCy English model) - Intent classifier: ~250MB (fine-tuned DistilBERT) - Tag suggester: ~120MB (KeyBERT with sentence-transformers backend) - Deduplication embedder: ~80MB (sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) **Total storage**: ~470MB **Inference Requirements**: - CPU: Sufficient (all models optimized for CPU inference) - RAM: +300-500MB when all models loaded - Latency: <100ms total preprocessing time --- ## Performance Considerations ### Latency Analysis **Target**: <100ms total preprocessing time (avoid blocking conversation flow) **Breakdown**: - Phrase detection: ~1ms (regex) - Entity extraction: ~20-30ms (spaCy) - Intent classification: ~20-30ms (DistilBERT on CPU) - Importance scoring: ~1ms (heuristics) - Tag suggestion: ~30-40ms (KeyBERT, Phase 3) - Deduplication check: ~20-30ms (embedding + similarity, Phase 3) **Optimization Strategies**: 1. **Lazy Loading**: Load models only when first needed 2. **Caching**: Cache recent entity/intent results for similar messages 3. **Async Processing**: Run non-blocking preprocessing in background 4. **Batching**: If processing multiple messages, batch through models 5. **Model Quantization**: Use INT8 quantized models for faster inference ### Memory Management **Model Loading**: - Load on first use, not at startup - Share models across requests (singleton pattern) - Option to run preprocessing in separate process/container **Configuration Option**: ```python CORTEXGRAPH_PREPROCESSING_MODE = "inline" # or "async" or "separate_process" ``` --- ## Risks & Mitigations ### Risk 1: Intent Classifier Accuracy Below 85% **Impact**: Medium - Lower accuracy reduces reliability gains **Mitigation**: - Start with rule-based fallback for low-confidence predictions - Collect user feedback: "Was this save appropriate?" - Active learning: Retrain with corrected examples - Fallback to phrase detection + LLM judgment if confidence < threshold ### Risk 2: False Positives (Too Many Auto-Saves) **Impact**: Medium - Clutters memory store, annoys users **Mitigation**: - Conservative confidence thresholds (0.8 for auto-save) - LLM still has final say (can reject preprocessing suggestion) - User feedback loop: "Was this save unnecessary?" - Decay algorithm naturally handles false positives (unused memories fade) ### Risk 3: Model Inference Latency **Impact**: Low - Could slow conversation if >200ms **Mitigation**: - Use lightweight models (DistilBERT, not full BERT) - Async processing (don't block LLM response) - Cache recent results - Quantization for faster inference - Option to disable preprocessing if latency critical ### Risk 4: Preprocessing Overhead Complexity **Impact**: Low - Adds code complexity and maintenance burden **Mitigation**: - Clear separation of concerns (preprocessing layer is modular) - Each component independently testable - Configuration to disable features if not needed - Graceful degradation (system works even if preprocessing fails) ### Risk 5: Training Data Quality **Impact**: Medium - Poor training data → poor intent classifier **Mitigation**: - Use GPT-4/Claude for synthetic data generation (high quality) - Manual review of training examples - Balance classes (equal examples per intent) - Augmentation techniques (paraphrasing, backtranslation) - Held-out test set for validation --- ## Success Metrics ### Quantitative Metrics **Activation Reliability** (Primary Metric): - **Baseline**: ~40% (current, LLM-only) - **Phase 1 Target**: 60-70% - **Phase 2 Target**: 75-85% - **Phase 3 Target**: 85-90% **Measurement**: % of save-worthy content that results in actual saves (human-annotated test set) **Intent Classification Accuracy**: - **Target**: 85%+ on held-out test set - **Per-Class Precision/Recall**: >80% for each intent **False Positive Rate**: - **Target**: <10% (saves that shouldn't have happened) - **Measurement**: User feedback + manual review **False Negative Rate**: - **Target**: <5% (missed important information) - **Measurement**: User reports "you forgot X" **Latency**: - **Target**: <100ms preprocessing time - **Measurement**: Average time from message receipt to preprocessing complete ### Qualitative Metrics **User Satisfaction**: - Survey: "Does the system remember important information?" (8/10 target) - Survey: "How often does the system miss something important?" (Rarely/Never target) - Survey: "Are saves appropriate and relevant?" (7/10 target) **Developer Experience**: - Code maintainability (modular, well-tested) - Ease of adding new intents or patterns - Configuration flexibility --- ## Future Enhancements ### Short-Term (Next 6 Months) **1. Custom Entity Types** - Fine-tune spaCy for domain-specific entities - Technology stack entities (Python → TECHNOLOGY) - Preference entities (TypeScript → PREFERENCE:LANGUAGE) **2. Reinforcement Learning from User Corrections** - Track when users override preprocessing suggestions - Retrain models with correction data - Personalized models per user **3. Multi-Language Support** - Add spaCy models for other languages - Multi-lingual intent classification - Language detection + routing ### Medium-Term (6-12 Months) **4. Active Learning Pipeline** - Identify low-confidence predictions - Request user labels for uncertain cases - Continuously improve models with feedback **5. Personalized Intent Models** - Per-user fine-tuning based on usage patterns - Adaptive confidence thresholds - Preference learning (user prefers high/low activation rate) **6. Cross-Turn Conversation Understanding** - Dialog state tracking - Coreference resolution ("it", "that", etc.) - Multi-turn decision detection ### Long-Term (12+ Months) **7. Automatic Relation Inference** - Detect relationships between entities - Populate `create_relation` automatically - Build richer knowledge graph structure **8. Temporal Reasoning** - Understand time references ("last week", "in the future") - Auto-populate temporal metadata - Query by time periods **9. Explainability Dashboard** - Show why system saved/didn't save - Visualize confidence scores and signals - Allow users to adjust preprocessing behavior --- ## Timeline Summary | Phase | Duration | Components | Expected Impact | |-------|----------|------------|-----------------| | **Phase 1** | 1 week | Phrase Detector, Entity Extractor, Importance Scorer, analyze_message tool, save_memory auto-enrichment | 40-50% improvement in consistency | | **Phase 2** | 3 weeks | Intent Classifier, Enhanced analyze_message, System Prompt Updates | 60-70% improvement (MCP ceiling) | | **Phase 3** | 4 weeks | Tag Suggester, Multi-Message Context, Deduplication | 70-80% improvement (realistic max) | | **Testing & Deployment** | 1 week | UAT, Performance Tuning, Documentation | Production-ready | | **Total** | **9 weeks** | All components integrated and tested | **70-80% activation reliability** | **Note**: 70-80% is the realistic ceiling within MCP constraints. For 85-90%+ reliability, would require HTTP proxy (claude-llm-proxy pattern) or custom MCP host. --- ## Conclusion This architectural plan transforms cortexgraph from **sporadic, LLM-dependent activation** to **reliable, preprocessing-assisted activation**. By adding a preprocessing layer that detects patterns, extracts entities, classifies intent, and scores importance, we reduce LLM cognitive load while preserving flexibility. **Key Principles**: 1. **Work Within MCP Constraints**: Realistic architecture, no impossible pre-LLM interception 2. **Two-Track Approach**: Auto-enrichment (save_memory) + Decision Helper (analyze_message) 3. **Progressive Enhancement**: Each component adds independent value 4. **Research-Backed**: Built on 2024-2025 state-of-the-art approaches 5. **Production-Ready**: Optimized for latency, maintainability, configurability **Expected Outcome**: - **Within MCP**: 70-80% activation reliability (realistic ceiling) - **Parameter Quality**: 100% consistent entities, tags, strength scores (auto-populated) - **User Experience**: Dramatically improved trust in cortexgraph memory system **For Higher Reliability (85-90%+)**: If 70-80% isn't sufficient, consider: - **HTTP Proxy Approach**: Adapt claude-llm-proxy for Claude Code CLI (pre-LLM preprocessing possible) - **MCP-to-MCP Proxy**: Build custom proxy MCP server that forwards to cortexgraph - **Dual Integration**: Use HTTP proxy for Claude Code, direct MCP for Claude Desktop The MCP architecture is fundamentally LLM-first, which limits automatic activation. This plan maximizes what's possible within that constraint. --- ## References ### Academic Papers - ArXiv 2504.19413v1: "Mem0: Building Production-Ready AI Agents with Scalable Long-Term Memory" - Wiley Expert Systems (2025): "Intent detection for task-oriented conversational agents" - MDPI Applied Sciences (2025): "Knowledge Graph Construction: Extraction, Learning, and Evaluation" - Frontiers in Computer Science (2025): "Knowledge Graph Construction with LLMs" ### Industry Tools - Mem0: github.com/mem0ai/mem0 - spaCy: spacy.io - Transformers (Hugging Face): huggingface.co/transformers - KeyBERT: github.com/MaartenGr/KeyBERT - Sentence-Transformers: github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers ### cortexgraph Documentation - Architecture: `docs/architecture.md` - API Reference: `docs/api.md` - Smart Prompting (current): `docs/prompts/memory_system_prompt.md` - Scoring Algorithm: `docs/scoring_algorithm.md` ### Related Projects - **claude-llm-proxy**: HTTP proxy for Claude Code CLI with context injection - Location: `../claude-llm-proxy/` - Pattern: Intercept HTTP API requests → inject preprocessing → forward to Claude - **Key Insight**: This pattern works for HTTP API but NOT for MCP (stdio-based) - Use case: If you need pre-LLM preprocessing for Claude Code CLI (non-MCP) --- **Document Version**: 2.0 (Updated for MCP Architecture Reality) **Last Updated**: 2025-11-14 **Author**: Claude (Sonnet 4.5) with STOPPER Protocol **Approved By**: Scot Campbell (v1.0), Pending approval for v2.0 **Next Review**: After Phase 1 completion **Major Changes in v2.0**: - ❌ Removed impossible `@mcp.before_completion()` hook (doesn't exist in FastMCP) - ✅ Added MCP Architectural Constraints section explaining why pre-LLM interception is impossible - ✅ Updated Solution Architecture to two-track approach (auto-enrichment + analyze_message) - ✅ Adjusted reliability targets: 70-80% realistic ceiling (was 85-90% aspirational) - ✅ Updated all Phase 2 integration code to use realistic MCP tools - ✅ Added claude-llm-proxy reference for HTTP proxy alternative - ✅ Clarified that 85-90%+ requires HTTP proxy or custom MCP host
