Rag sync

RAG Sync — End-of-Session Personal Memory Sync

Review what happened this session and push non-obvious learnings to your personal LightRAG knowledge graph. Run before ending a productive session.

Workflow

Step 1: Review the session

Scan the conversation for items worth persisting. Look for:

• Decisions — architecture choices, tool selections, approach changes
• User corrections — "don't do X", "always do Y", preference changes
• Config changes — new env vars, port changes, server settings
• Project updates — status changes, new goals, deadline shifts
• Debugging insights — root causes found, non-obvious fixes
• New relationships — connections between systems, people, or projects

Step 2: Filter ruthlessly

Remove anything that:

• Is already in the codebase (code, comments, configs)
• Is in git history (commits, diffs, blame)
• Was already stored via /rag-remember this session
• Is ephemeral (task progress, temp files, current branch state)
• Is a duplicate of something already in the knowledge graph

Step 3: Format entries

Format each item using the /rag-remember format:

[TYPE] Title — YYYY-MM-DD

What: ...
Why: ...
Files: ... (if applicable)

Step 4: Confirm with user

Present the list of items to store. Example:

Ready to sync 3 items to personal memory:

1. [DECISION] Switched auth from JWT to session tokens — 2026-04-01
2. [FEEDBACK] User prefers single bundled PRs for refactors
3. [CONFIG] LightRAG project instance moved to port 9625

Proceed? (y/n)

Wait for user confirmation before inserting.

Step 5: Insert each item

node -e "
const BASE = process.env.LIGHTRAG_SERVER_URL || 'http://YOUR_LIGHTRAG_HOST:YOUR_PERSONAL_PORT';
(async () => {
  const auth = await fetch(BASE + '/auth-status').then(r => r.json());
  const token = auth.access_token;
  const res = await fetch(BASE + '/documents/text', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      file_source: 'DESCRIPTION_HERE',
      text: 'CONTENT_HERE'
    })
  });
  console.log('Status:', res.status);
})();
"

Step 6: Report

Summarize what was synced:

Synced 3 items to personal LightRAG.

Quality bar

Only store things that would save 5+ minutes in a future session.

Good examples:

• "The user's Mac Mini SSH requires BindAddress because Tailscale hijacks outbound sockets"
• "User prefers integration tests over mocked tests after a prod migration incident"

Bad examples:

• "Ran npm install successfully"
• "Fixed a typo in line 42 of app.js"
• "The build passed"

Infrastructure

• Server: YOUR_LIGHTRAG_HOST:YOUR_PERSONAL_PORT
• Auth: Bearer token from /auth-status (guest/disabled mode)
• Env var: LIGHTRAG_SERVER_URL
