## Implementation Architecture

### Unified Memory Service
```typescript
class UnifiedMemoryService implements IMemoryBackend {
  constructor(
    private agentdb: AgentDBAdapter,
    private indexer: HNSWIndexer,
    private migrator: DataMigrator
  ) {}

  async store(entry: MemoryEntry): Promise<void> {
    await this.agentdb.store(entry);
    await this.indexer.index(entry);
  }

  async query(query: MemoryQuery): Promise<MemoryEntry[]> {
    if (query.semantic) {
      return this.indexer.search(query); // 150x-12,500x faster
    }
    return this.agentdb.query(query);
  }
}
```

### HNSW Vector Search
```typescript
class HNSWIndexer {
  constructor(dimensions: number = 1536) {
    this.index = new HNSWIndex({
      dimensions,
      efConstruction: 200,
      M: 16,
      speedupTarget: '150x-12500x'
    });
  }

  async search(query: MemoryQuery): Promise<MemoryEntry[]> {
    const embedding = await this.embedContent(query.content);
    const results = this.index.search(embedding, query.limit || 10);
    return this.retrieveEntries(results);
  }
}
```

## Migration Strategy

### Phase 1: Foundation
```typescript
// AgentDB adapter setup
const agentdb = new AgentDBAdapter({
  dimensions: 1536,
  indexType: 'HNSW',
  speedupTarget: '150x-12500x'
});
```

### Phase 2: Data Migration
```typescript
// SQLite → AgentDB
const migrateFromSQLite = async () => {
  const entries = await sqlite.getAll();
  for (const entry of entries) {
    const embedding = await generateEmbedding(entry.content);
    await agentdb.store({ ...entry, embedding });
  }
};

// Markdown → AgentDB
const migrateFromMarkdown = async () => {
  const files = await glob('**/*.md');
  for (const file of files) {
    const content = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf-8');
    await agentdb.store({
      id: generateId(),
      content,
      embedding: await generateEmbedding(content),
      metadata: { originalFile: file }
    });
  }
};
```

## SONA Integration

### Learning Pattern Storage
```typescript
class SONAMemoryIntegration {
  async storePattern(pattern: LearningPattern): Promise<void> {
    await this.memory.store({
      id: pattern.id,
      content: pattern.data,
      metadata: {
        sonaMode: pattern.mode,
        reward: pattern.reward,
        adaptationTime: pattern.adaptationTime
      },
      embedding: await this.generateEmbedding(pattern.data)
    });
  }

  async retrieveSimilarPatterns(query: string): Promise<LearningPattern[]> {
    return this.memory.query({
      type: 'semantic',
      content: query,
      filters: { type: 'learning_pattern' }
    });
  }
}
```

Overview

This skill unifies six-plus legacy memory systems into a single AgentDB backend with HNSW vector indexing, delivering 150x–12,500x search improvements while preserving backward compatibility. It consolidates file-based, SQL, distributed and agent-specific memories into a unified query interface and enables cross-agent sharing and SONA learning pattern integration. The implementation is TypeScript-friendly and designed for incremental migration and real-time operations.

How this skill works

A Unified Memory Service wraps an AgentDB adapter, an HNSW indexer, and a migrator. Writes store entries in AgentDB and concurrently index embeddings in HNSW for fast semantic search. Queries route to HNSW for semantic searches and to AgentDB for structured lookups, keeping behavior consistent with legacy systems. Migration utilities transform SQLite, Markdown, and hybrid backends into AgentDB entries with generated embeddings.

When to use it

  • Consolidating multiple memory backends (SQLite, markdown, distributed, agent-local) into one service
  • Improving semantic search performance for large memory stores (100k–1M+ entries)
  • Enabling cross-agent memory sharing and real-time synchronization
  • Integrating learned patterns (SONA) into a unified memory system
  • Migrating a legacy testing or agent platform to a modern vector-indexed architecture

Best practices

  • Migrate incrementally: start with low-risk datasets and validate search results before bulk migration
  • Choose embedding dimension and HNSW parameters to match your model and latency targets (e.g., 1536 dims, tuned ef and M)
  • Keep a compatibility layer for structured queries to avoid breaking legacy agents
  • Batch embedding and indexing operations to optimize throughput during migration
  • Monitor memory usage and query latency; tune ef/search params for desired recall vs. speed

Example use cases

  • Migrate QA test artifacts stored as Markdown and SQLite rows into AgentDB for fast retrieval during test generation
  • Enable agents to share session memories in real time so multi-agent workflows have consistent context
  • Index historical bug reports and test results for semantic retrieval during debugging or regression analysis
  • Store SONA learning patterns as memory entries to quickly retrieve adaptation strategies for agents
  • Replace a distributed memory cluster with a single unified backend to simplify operations and reduce memory footprint

FAQ

How are semantic vs structured queries handled?

Semantic queries are routed to the HNSW indexer using embeddings; structured or filter-based queries use AgentDB's query API to preserve exact-match behavior.

Can migration be rolled back if issues appear?

Yes. Perform migrations in phases and keep source systems readable until validation completes; treat AgentDB as the new primary only after verification.
