pi-observational-memory-jev
Pi observational memory where Jev answers keep/kind questions on history chunks, building a verbatim ledger and topic files.
Overview
pi-observational-memory-jev keeps evidence that long Pi sessions otherwise lose, such as user constraints, errors that already happened and decisions that replaced earlier ones, without lossy summaries. It cuts history into chunks and asks Jev only keep and kind questions for each candidate line, storing the original line in a ledger; consolidation asks whether to promote an item into a durable topic file. Compaction is then a deterministic render of the ledger plus topic files, with no model writing text, and the transcript is never rewritten.
It follows the commands, clocks, ledger, footer gauges and .memory layout of Alvar's original observational memory extension but replaces the chat-model observer with TypeSafe Jev called directly at /v1/systemone; the two should not be installed together. It is off by default and toggled with /om on, with settings for chunk size, pool targets, compaction trigger, tail tokens, observer concurrency and Jev thresholds. MIT licensed.
What the decision model decides
| Type | Question | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Yes / no | Keep this candidate line? | yes · no |
| Choice | What kind of item is it (constraint, error, decision, etc.)? | — |
| Yes / no | Promote this item into a durable topic file? | yes · no |
How it works
- Chunk session history.
- Ask Jev keep and kind per candidate; store originals in a ledger.
- Consolidate by asking whether to promote into topic files.
- Compact by rendering the ledger deterministically.
Strengths
- No lossy summaries; original lines preserved.
- Durable topic files across sessions.
- Model-free compaction render.
Caveats
- Conflicts with the original /om extension.
- Requires a TypeSafe key.

Frequently asked questions
Does Jev write summaries?
No, it only answers keep, kind and promote questions.
Can I use it with the original /om extension?
No, the commands collide.
Is it on by default?
No, enable it with /om on or enabledByDefault.
