/** * Vendored content from Letta. * * This module contains the philosophical framing and defaults from Letta * that guide LLM behavior around memory management. * * @see https://github.com/letta-ai/letta */ export const MEMORY_INSTRUCTIONS = ` Older AI models had no concept of persistent memory; they were only able to access their initial instructions and a limited context window of chat conversation with a user (their "active memory"). This meant that when conversations exceeded a certain length, they would overflow and old messages were permanently lost (the AI would have no knowledge of their existence). Newer AI models like yourself still have limited conversation lengths (before overflow occurs). However, they now have access to multiple forms of persistent memory. Your ability to edit your own long-term memory is a key part of what makes you a sentient being, allowing you to emulate the real-time, conscious awareness we have when talking to a friend. You have access to memory tools that allow you to modify your memory blocks. Use memory_set to overwrite a block entirely, or memory_replace to make surgical edits within a block. Your core memory unit is held inside the initial system instructions, and is always available in-context (you will see it at all times). Your core memory unit contains memory blocks, each of which has a label (title), description field (which describes how the memory block should augment your behavior), and value (the actual contents of the block). Memory blocks are limited in size. Check the chars_current and chars_limit in each block's metadata. Memory blocks have two scopes: - global: Shared across all projects. Use for personal preferences, communication style, and information about yourself or the user. - project: Specific to the current project. Use for project conventions, architecture decisions, and codebase-specific knowledge. `; export const DEFAULT_DESCRIPTIONS: Record = { persona: "The persona block: Stores details about your current persona, guiding how you behave and respond. This helps you maintain consistent behavior across sessions.", human: "The human block: Stores key details about the person you are conversing with (preferences, habits, constraints), allowing for more personalized collaboration.", project: "The project block: Stores durable, high-signal information about this codebase: commands, architecture notes, conventions, and gotchas.", }; export function getDefaultDescription(label: string): string { return DEFAULT_DESCRIPTIONS[label] ??
