PHYLACTERY

Your mind, preserved. Your thoughts, transmuted into eternal knowledge.

Protocol PHYLACTERY

Not a notes app.
A vessel for your cognition.

Your thoughts scatter. Your decisions evaporate. The signal drowns in noise. Phylactery is the counterspell — an AI-powered second brain forged for minds that move too fast for ordinary tools.

Every memory you capture is transmuted through a multi-stage enrichment ritual: chunked, embedded, summarized, tagged, classified, and linked — all without lifting a finger. When you need it again, hybrid divination finds it through meaning, not just keywords. This is grounded retrieval built on PostgreSQL, pgvector, and an OpenAI-compatible inference layer. Not a prototype. Not a toy. A real artifact.

The Rites

Every incantation at your disposal

Not just tools, but artifacts. Each rite is a precisely engineered capability woven into a cohesive system of intelligence.

RITE I

Hybrid Divination

Parallel vector and full-text search, merged by identity and scored by meaning. Priority-aware ranking with pinned boosts, signal feedback, and natural language queries. Find by intent, not just incantation.

RITE II

Automatic Transmutation

Every captured thought passes through a six-stage enrichment pipeline — chunk, embed, summarize, tag, classify, and link. Background processing with dead-letter recovery. You capture; the vessel refines.

RITE III

The People Codex

Track people as first-class entities. Aliases, roles, organizations, communication preferences. Auto-link future memories to known entities. Merge duplicates with full audit trails and stakeholder mapping.

RITE IV

Focus Wards

Project-scoped focus sessions with automatic context restoration. "Where you left off" retrieval from prior sessions. Time tracking, work session resumption, and closeout drafting — your concentration, protected.

RITE V

Confidence Propagation

Confirm a memory and its contradictions fall to speculative. Mark one outdated and linked knowledge adjusts automatically. Belief flows through the graph with full audit logging. Knowledge that maintains itself.

RITE VI

Voice Inscription

Speak and it is captured. Whisper-powered transcription with configurable models and multi-format audio support. From raw utterance to enriched memory in seconds. Think aloud. The vessel remembers.

RITE VII

Daily Briefings

AI-generated overviews of recent activity, per-project summaries, decay alerts for neglected knowledge, overdue task warnings, and stale project detection. Your corpus, distilled each dawn.

RITE VIII

Ask the Oracle

Pose natural language questions against your entire memory corpus. Hybrid retrieval feeds an LLM that synthesizes answers with source citations. Grounded, referenced, accountable intelligence.

RITE IX

Memory Signals

Explicit feedback loops for search quality. Mark results as useful or irrelevant. Signal scores adjust ranking up to ±30%. The vessel learns which knowledge matters most to you.

The Ritual

From raw thought to refined knowledge

Every memory you capture is silently transmuted through a six-stage background pipeline. You never wait. You never intervene. The ritual completes itself.

Transmission Channels

Three gateways into the vessel

Access your preserved knowledge through whichever channel suits the moment. Every gateway reaches the same corpus. Every query draws from the same well.

>_ MCP

Claude Integration

126 MCP tools wired directly into Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Full feature access through natural language. Proxy mode collapses all tools into a single dispatch incantation.

126 tools · JSON-RPC 2.0 · OAuth 2.0 + PKCE
$ CLI

Terminal Grimoire

78 commands for capture, search, focus, people, tasks, and bulk operations. Pipe-friendly output. Data export in JSON and Markdown. The power of the full corpus from your terminal.

78 commands · API key auth · Pipe-friendly

HTTP Codex

176 RESTful endpoints for every operation the vessel supports. Structured error responses, rate limiting, health monitoring, and dead-letter queue observability.

Invocation

Speak the words.
The vessel answers.

Capture a thought from the command line. Search by meaning. Start a focus session. Ask a question against your entire knowledge corpus. Every interaction, a few keystrokes.

$ phylactery add "OAuth callback must be same-origin for Claude.ai MCP"

✓ Memory captured. Processing...


$ phylactery search "authentication architecture decisions"

◆ OAuth callback must be same-origin 0.94

◆ Session tokens stored as API keys 0.87

◆ PKCE flow for remote MCP clients 0.82


$ phylactery focus auth-refactor

◉ Focus session started.

Last session: 2h 14m · 7 memories captured


$ phylactery ask "Why did we choose PKCE over implicit flow?"

▸ Based on 3 memories: PKCE was chosen because

Claude.ai requires Authorization Code + PKCE for

same-origin MCP integration. Implicit flow lacks

refresh tokens and is deprecated in OAuth 2.1.
