Hyper memory

hyper-memory

Repo-local knowledge extraction. Scans the accumulated .hyperclaude/ corpus and writes one evidence-anchored candidate markdown file per deterministic copy-based span under .hyperclaude/memory/candidates/. v1 is extraction + curation only — auto-injection into future sessions is the v2 north star and is explicitly out of scope here.

When to use

• User typed /hyperclaude:hyper-memory (with or without an argument).
• A batch of work has accumulated in .hyperclaude/ (several archived plans, plan-reviews, research artifacts) and it's worth mining for durable repo-local knowledge.

When to skip

• Only a single small artifact exists since the last extraction — not enough accumulated corpus to be worth mining.
• You want the knowledge injected automatically into a session — that's v2, not implemented.

How it works

1. Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory/extract.mjs" via Bash and parse the one-line JSON summary it prints to stdout: { ok, scanned, candidates, written, skipped, errored, candidatesDir }.

   The script's CLI accepts exactly two flags — no others exist:

   • --dry-run — compute candidates and keys but write nothing (written is always 0).
   • --root <path> — corpus root to scan (default .hyperclaude).

2. It fully enumerates the v1 source allowlist — NOT newest-only:

   • plans/done/ — every archived plan.
   • plan-reviews/ — every plan-review artifact whose verdict is Ship as-is.
   • research/ — every research artifact.

   code-reviews/ and docs-reviews/ are v1 non-goals and are never scanned.

3. It writes one evidence-anchored markdown file per candidate under .hyperclaude/memory/candidates/, keyed by a compound hash so re-runs are idempotent: a candidate is skipped if its key already exists in EITHER .hyperclaude/memory/candidates/ OR .hyperclaude/memory/promoted/ — an already-promoted candidate is never resurrected.

Candidate schema

Each candidate file's YAML frontmatter carries exactly these keys, in this order:

plugin-version, type, source-artifact, anchors, mode, slug, git-head, generated, staleness

followed by a ## Claim (a deterministically templated one-liner) and a ## Evidence section holding strictly the verbatim copied span — never a generated or derived line.

CORE POLICY: artifact sentences are never stored as truth on their own — every candidate carries an inline evidence anchor quoted verbatim from source-artifact:, so a claim can always be traced back to the exact text it came from.

Two fields are easy to conflate and must be read as distinct:

• source-artifact: — the .hyperclaude/** artifact path the candidate was mined from (evidence provenance; a gitignored artifact, not a canonical repo source).
• anchors: — a YAML list of live canonical repo source/doc paths the claim is about. The extractor ALWAYS emits anchors: [] — none of the three v1 sources deterministically names a real repo file, and a .hyperclaude/** path is NEVER a valid anchors: entry.

Curation

Two locations only — no multi-state machine:

• .hyperclaude/memory/candidates/ — proposed, unreviewed.
• .hyperclaude/memory/promoted/ — human-accepted.

Promote: plain mv .hyperclaude/memory/candidates/<file> .hyperclaude/memory/promoted/<file> — NOT git mv (.hyperclaude/ is gitignored, so git tracks neither side).

Promotion gate: every candidate ships with anchors: []. Before promoting, the curator MUST add at least one real repo source/doc path (a non-.hyperclaude/ file that exists on disk) to the candidate's anchors: list. source-artifact: provenance alone never satisfies this gate — it names a gitignored artifact, not a canonical anchor.

Reject: rm the candidate file.

Idempotency: because promotion is a plain move out of candidates/, and the extractor checks BOTH candidates/ and promoted/ for an existing key, a promoted candidate is never re-created by a later extraction run.

Invocation argument

Invocation argument: $ARGUMENTS

Accepted argument grammar — nothing outside this table:

Token(s)	Meaning
--dry-run	compute candidates/keys, write nothing
--root <path>	corpus root to scan (default .hyperclaude)

The script's CLI parser rejects anything else (unknown flags, --root with a missing/flag-like value) with {"ok":false,"error":...} and a non-zero exit — see scripts/memory/extract.mjs.

Do NOT interpolate the raw $ARGUMENTS string into the Bash command. Parse it into individual tokens, keep only tokens matching the grammar above, and pass each as its own shell-quoted argument (e.g. quote the --root path value) when invoking node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory/extract.mjs". Any token outside the grammar means: do not pass it through — the script would reject it anyway.
