SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Honcho enables AI agents to maintain a coherent memory across sessions by modeling users per profile, isolating AI peers, and controlling observation and recall settings. It provides a scalable way to inject session summaries, user representations, and AI peer cards into prompts while enforcing context budgets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-session user modeling and per-profile AI peers to maintain consistent context across conversations.
  • Observation controls and memory management to tailor what is learned and recalled.
  • Dialectic reasoning depth controls and context budget enforcement for scalable performance.
  • Multi-profile management with shared workspace and per-profile recalls.

Quick Start

Configure Honcho for your profile with the setup wizard and verify memory status to start cross-session recall.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain AI agent memory across multiple sessions?

To maintain AI agent memory across multiple sessions, configure per-profile memory management using Honcho. This models users per profile, isolates AI peers, and controls observation and recall settings to inject session summaries into prompts.

How do I set up cross-session recall for different user profiles?

Set up cross-session recall by running the setup wizard to configure a per-profile honcho.json file. You then verify memory status using standard CLI tools to ensure the backend supports your workspace's hybrid, context, or tools recall modes.

What is cross-session user modeling and when do I need it?

Cross-session user modeling is the process of maintaining a coherent user representation across conversations. You need it when your AI agent must retain context and dialectic reasoning depth without exceeding context budgets.

Can I control what an AI agent observes and recalls during a session?

Yes, you can control what an AI agent observes and recalls using configurable observation controls and recall modes. You can apply per-directory or per-session scope to tailor exactly what is learned and recalled.

Do I need a specific backend to manage per-profile memory?

Yes, managing per-profile memory requires a working Honcho backend and a valid SKILL.md frontmatter with a name and description. You also need standard Rawclaw CLI tools to execute setup, status checks, and synchronization.

What are the limitations of using context budgets for AI memory?

Context budget limitations restrict the volume of session summaries and user representations injected into prompts. You manage these constraints by adjusting dialectic reasoning depth controls and selecting appropriate recall modes for scalable performance.
