FAQ | 常见问题


General | 一般问题

Is my data sent to the cloud? | 我的数据会发送到云端吗?

No. Everything is stored as local markdown files in ~/.agent-recall/. Zero cloud, zero telemetry, zero API keys. Browse your data in Obsidian, grep it in the terminal, version it with git.

不会。 所有数据都以本地 markdown 文件存储在 ~/.agent-recall/ 中。零云服务、零遥测、零 API key。在 Obsidian 中浏览,在终端中 grep,用 git 版本管理。

Which editors/agents are supported? | 支持哪些编辑器/agent?

Any MCP-compatible agent: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, Codex. Plus SDK for any JS/TS framework (LangChain, CrewAI, Vercel AI SDK) and CLI for terminal workflows.

任何兼容 MCP 的 agent:Claude Code、Cursor、VS Code (Copilot)、Windsurf、Codex。另外 SDK 支持任何 JS/TS 框架(LangChain、CrewAI、Vercel AI SDK),CLI 支持终端工作流。

Do I need all 22 tools? | 我需要全部 22 个工具吗?

No. Start with 5: recall_insight, palace_walk, journal_capture, alignment_check, awareness_update. These cover 90% of daily use. See MCP Tools Reference for the priority guide.

不需要。 从 5 个开始:recall_insightpalace_walkjournal_capturealignment_checkawareness_update。覆盖 90% 的日常使用。参见 MCP 工具参考 的优先级指南。


Usage | 使用问题

When should I NOT use AgentRecall? | 什么时候不应该使用 AgentRecall?

Skip it for truly throwaway single-session tasks: quick Q&A, trivial one-off scripts, simple fixes. For everything else, use it — memory compounds over time. See When to Use for the full decision guide.

对于真正一次性的单会话任务跳过它:快速问答、简单的一次性脚本、简单修复。其他情况都使用——记忆随时间复利。完整决策指南参见 何时使用

My palace is empty on first use — is that normal? | 第一次使用时记忆宫殿是空的,正常吗?

Yes. The palace builds up over sessions. After your first /arsave, you'll have journal entries and initial palace rooms. After 3-5 sessions, the awareness system starts compounding insights.

是的。 记忆宫殿随会话逐渐积累。第一次 /arsave 后,你会有日志条目和初始宫殿房间。3-5 次会话后,感知系统开始复利洞察。

How much token overhead does AgentRecall add? | AgentRecall 增加多少 token 开销?

Measured on a simple CLI task: ~2,300 tokens (~30% overhead) per session from MCP tool calls. For simple single-session tasks, this is pure overhead. For multi-session projects, the cold-start recall saves far more than it costs. Break-even point: ~3 sessions.

在简单 CLI 任务上测量:每次会话来自 MCP 工具调用约 2,300 tokens(约 30% 开销)。对于简单的单会话任务,这是纯开销。对于多会话项目,冷启动回忆节省的远超成本。盈亏平衡点:约 3 次会话。

Can multiple agents share the same memory? | 多个 agent 可以共享同一个记忆吗?

Yes. Memory is file-based. Any agent pointing to the same ~/.agent-recall/ directory reads the same data. This is how /arstart works — a fresh agent instance loads yesterday's decisions written by a different agent.

可以。 记忆基于文件。任何指向相同 ~/.agent-recall/ 目录的 agent 读取相同数据。这就是 /arstart 的工作方式——一个新的 agent 实例加载昨天由不同 agent 写入的决策。


Troubleshooting | 故障排查

recall_insight returns no matches | recall_insight 没有返回匹配

This means no stored insight matches your current task context. This is normal for new projects or when working in a new domain. Insights build up over time through awareness_update.

这意味着没有存储的洞察匹配你当前的任务上下文。这对于新项目或在新领域工作时是正常的。洞察通过 awareness_update 随时间积累。

palace_walk returns minimal content | palace_walk 返回内容很少

Check the depth parameter:

  • identity returns ~50 tokens (just the project name)
  • active returns ~200 tokens (top rooms)
  • Use relevant with a focus parameter for targeted loading
  • Use full only when you need everything

检查 depth 参数:

  • identity 返回约 50 tokens(只有项目名)
  • active 返回约 200 tokens(顶部房间)
  • 使用 relevantfocus 参数进行定向加载
  • 只在需要全部内容时使用 full

Journals are getting too large | 日志变得太大

Use journal_rollup to condense old journals into weekly summaries:

使用 journal_rollup 将旧日志压缩为周报摘要:

# Preview what would be rolled up
ar rollup --dry-run

# Roll up entries older than 14 days
ar rollup --min-age-days 14

The awareness file is full (200 lines) | 感知文件已满(200 行)

This is by design. The 200-line cap forces merge-or-replace. When a new insight is added, it either merges with an existing one (strengthening it) or replaces the lowest-salience insight. This is what makes memory compound instead of accumulate.

这是设计如此。 200 行上限强制合并或替换。当添加新洞察时,它要么与现有的合并(强化它),要么替换最低显著性的洞察。这就是让记忆复利而不是线性累积的机制。
