Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Shodh Memory Tools (38)
remember
Store a memory for future recall. Use this to remember important information, decisions, user preferences, project context, or anything you want to recall later.
recall
Search memories AND todos using semantic similarity. Returns both relevant memories and matching todos. Use this to find past experiences, decisions, context, or pending work. Modes: 'semantic' (vector similarity), 'associative' (graph traversal), 'temporal' (time-based retrieval), 'hybrid' (combined), 'spatial' (geo-location based), 'mission' (mission context), 'action_outcome' (reward-based learning).
recall_by_tags
Find memories by tags. Returns memories matching ANY of the provided tags. Useful for finding memories by category (e.g., 'tool:Edit', 'file:src/main.rs', 'source:hook', 'error', 'session-summary').
context_summary
Get a condensed summary of recent learnings, decisions, and context. Use this at the start of a session to quickly understand what you've learned before.
