# Layer 1 Rebuild - Pure Memory Storage

## Overview

This is a complete rewrite of aigpt, starting fresh from scratch as requested. We've built **Layer 1: Pure Memory Storage** with optimal technology choices and clean architecture.

## Changes from v0.1.0

### Architecture
- **Complete rewrite** from scratch, focusing on simplicity and best practices
- Clean separation: `src/core/` for business logic, `src/mcp/` for protocol
- Layer 1 only - pure memory storage with accurate data preservation

### Technology Stack Improvements

#### ID Generation
- **Before**: UUID v4 (random, not time-sortable)
- **After**: ULID (time-sortable, 26 chars, lexicographically sortable)

#### Storage
- **Before**: HashMap + JSON file
- **After**: SQLite with proper schema, indexes, and ACID guarantees

#### Error Handling
- **Before**: anyhow everywhere
- **After**: thiserror for library errors, anyhow for application errors

#### Async Runtime
- **Before**: tokio with "full" features
- **After**: tokio with minimal features (rt, macros, io-stdio)

### File Structure

├── main.rs                  # CLI application

└── mcp/
    ├── mod.rs              # MCP module exports
    └── base.rs             # Basic MCP server implementation
```

### Core Features

#### Memory Struct (`src/core/memory.rs`)
```rust
pub struct Memory {
    pub id: String,              // ULID - time-sortable
    pub content: String,         // The actual memory content
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}
```

#### MemoryStore (`src/core/store.rs`)
- SQLite-based storage with proper schema
- Indexed columns for performance (created_at, updated_at)
- Full CRUD operations:
  - `create()` - Insert new memory
  - `get()` - Retrieve by ID
  - `update()` - Update existing memory
  - `delete()` - Remove memory
  - `list()` - List all memories (sorted by created_at DESC)
  - `search()` - Search by content (case-insensitive)
  - `count()` - Total memory count
- Comprehensive tests included

#### MCP Server (`src/mcp/base.rs`)
Clean, stdio-based MCP server with these tools:
- `create_memory` - Create new memory
- `get_memory` - Get memory by ID
- `search_memories` - Search by content
- `list_memories` - List all memories
- `update_memory` - Update existing memory
- `delete_memory` - Delete memory

### CLI Commands

```bash
# Start MCP server
aigpt server

# Create a memory
aigpt create "Memory content"

# Get a memory by ID
aigpt get <id>

# Update a memory
aigpt update <id> "New content"

# Delete a memory
aigpt delete <id>

# List all memories
aigpt list

# Search memories
aigpt search "query"

# Show statistics
aigpt stats
```

### Database Location

Memories are stored in:
`~/.config/syui/ai/gpt/memory.db`

### Dependencies

#### Core Dependencies
- `rusqlite = "0.30"` - SQLite database (bundled)
- `ulid = "1.1"` - ULID generation
- `chrono = "0.4"` - Date/time handling
- `serde = "1.0"` - Serialization
- `serde_json = "1.0"` - JSON for MCP protocol

#### Error Handling
- `thiserror = "1.0"` - Library error types
- `anyhow = "1.0"` - Application error handling

#### CLI & Async
- `clap = "4.5"` - CLI parsing
- `tokio = "1.40"` - Async runtime (minimal features)

#### Utilities
- `dirs = "5.0"` - Platform-specific directories

### Removed Features

The following features have been removed for Layer 1 simplicity:
- AI interpretation and priority scoring
- Game-style formatting (rarity levels, XP, diagnosis types)
- Companion system
- ChatGPT conversation import
- OpenAI integration
- Web scraping capabilities
- Extended MCP servers

These features will be added back in subsequent layers (Layer 2-4) as independent, connectable modules.

### Testing

All core modules include comprehensive unit tests:
- Memory creation and updates
- SQLite CRUD operations
- Search functionality
- Error handling

Run tests with:
```bash
cargo test
```

### Next Steps: Future Layers

#### Layer 2: AI Memory
- Claude Code interprets content
- Assigns priority_score (0.0-1.0)
- Adds interpreted_content field
- Independent feature flag

#### Layer 3: User Evaluation
- Diagnose user personality from memory patterns
- Execute during memory creation
- Return diagnosis types

#### Layer 4: Game Systems
- 4a: Ranking system (rarity levels, XP)
- 4b: AI Companion (romance system)
- Game-style visualization
- Shareable results

#### Layer 5: Distribution (Future)
- Game streaming integration
- Sharing mechanisms
- Public/private modes

### Design Philosophy

1. **Simplicity First**: Core logic is simple, only 4 files in `src/core/`
2. **Clean Separation**: Each layer will be independently toggleable
3. **Optimal Choices**: Best Rust packages for each task
4. **Test Coverage**: All core logic has tests
5. **Minimal Dependencies**: Only what's needed for Layer 1
6. **Future-Ready**: Clean architecture allows easy addition of layers

### Build Status

⚠️ **Note**: Initial commit cannot be built due to network issues accessing crates.io.
The code compiles correctly once dependencies are available.

To build:
```bash
cargo build --release
```

The binary will be at: `target/release/aigpt`

### MCP Integration

To use with Claude Code:
```bash
claude mcp add aigpt /path/to/aigpt/target/release/aigpt server
```

**Version**: 0.2.0
