# Changelog
## 1.7.0
### New Features
- **Retrieval-optimized memory format**: Extraction prompts now produce topic-tagged memory blocks with a `[Names — description]` tag as the first bullet. This improves vector search discrimination, allowing Vector Storage to retrieve only the most relevant memories instead of thematically similar ones.
- **Unified Convert tool**: The Convert and Reformat tools are merged into a single Convert tool with a source picker. Select "Current memories" to reformat existing memories to the new topic-tagged format, or "Data Bank file" to import from any file. The conversion prompt is always visible for easy iteration.
- **Recommended VS settings**: Diagnostics panel now includes a "Recommended Vector Storage Settings" card with optimal chunk size, retrieve chunks, score threshold, and other settings for CharMemory.
### Improvements
- **Tighter memory blocks**: Default bullet limit reduced from 8 to 5 per block (not counting the topic tag). Forces outcome-focused extraction rather than step-by-step narration.
- **Better consolidation labels**: Consolidation now uses encounter-specific labels (e.g., "Adoption day at the apartment") instead of broad categories (e.g., "Key Events"). Topic tags are preserved and updated during consolidation.
- **Improved health checks**: Chunk size recommendations now include specific guidance (800-1000 chars). New checks for retrieve chunks and score threshold.
- **Named participants**: Extraction and consolidation prompts now require specific names instead of generic labels like "a client" or "someone".
- **Multi-tag block splitting**: When the LLM produces a memory block with multiple topic tags, it is automatically split into separate blocks — one per topic. This ensures clean 1:1 mapping between topic tags and vector chunks.
### Bug Fixes
- **Fix parsing of attributed memory tags**: The LLM sometimes copies `<memory chat="..." date="...">` attributes from existing memories into its response. The extraction regex now handles both bare and attributed `<memory>` tags instead of silently falling through to a single-entry fallback.
- **Hide redundant mini-log on Log tab**: The always-visible activity log mini-bar is now hidden when the full Log tab is active, avoiding duplicate display.
### Migration
- Existing memories continue to work without changes. Use the **Convert** tool (source: "Current memories") to add topic tags to existing memory files for improved retrieval.
- Users with customized extraction prompts are unaffected — only the default prompt is updated. Click "Restore Default" to opt into the new format.

#### Recommended Vector Storage Settings
#### Recommended Starting Settings
The Vector Storage panel has two rows of file settings: **Message attachments** (top) and **Data Bank files** (bottom). CharMemory uses the Data Bank, so focus on the bottom row:
| Setting | Recommended | Why |
|---------|-------------|-----|
| **Size threshold** | 1 KB | Controls when chunking kicks in. Below this size, the whole file gets one embedding. At 1 KB (~5-10 memory bullets), individual chunks start getting their own vectors so Vector Storage can retrieve *specific* relevant memories instead of the whole file as a blob. |
| **Chunk size** | 3000 chars | A `<memory>` block with 8 bullets is roughly 500-1500 chars. 3000 keeps 1-2 full blocks per chunk without splitting them mid-sentence. Too small and blocks get cut in half. Too large and you lose retrieval granularity. |
| **Chunk overlap** | 15% | ~450 chars of overlap at 3000 chunk size. Catches memory blocks that straddle a chunk boundary. Without overlap, a block landing exactly on the split gets half in one chunk and half in another, making neither retrievable cleanly. |
| **Retrieve chunks** | 5 | How many memory chunks are retrieved per generation. At ~2 blocks per chunk, that's roughly 10 memory blocks — enough context without flooding the prompt. Going too high (20+) effectively dumps the whole file, defeating the purpose of semantic search. |
| Setting | Starting value | What it does |
|---------|---------------|--------------|
| **Size threshold** | 1 KB | Files smaller than this get one embedding. At 1 KB, Vector Storage starts chunking so it can retrieve *specific* memories instead of the whole file. |
| **Chunk size** | 1000 chars | Each chunk gets its own embedding. With topic-tagged blocks (~200-400 chars each), 1000 fits 2-3 blocks per chunk — enough for clean retrieval without splitting blocks mid-sentence. |
| **Chunk overlap** | 0% | Overlap copies the end of each chunk into the start of the next. With small topic-tagged blocks, 0% works well. If you see blocks getting split (check [Injection Viewer](#injection-viewer)), try 10-15%. |
| **Retrieve chunks** | 2 | How many chunks are injected per generation. At 2-3 blocks per chunk, this gives ~4-6 memory blocks per message — enough context without flooding the prompt. |
| **Score threshold** | 0.3 | Filters out low-relevance chunks. Without this, Vector Storage injects whatever it has, even irrelevant memories. Start at 0.3 and lower if too few memories are injected — see [Tuning Vector Storage](#tuning-vector-storage). |
| **Query messages** | 1 | How many recent chat messages are used as the search query. 1 means only the latest message drives retrieval — keeps results focused on the current topic. Higher values blend recent context together, which can dilute the search. |
Not sure if your settings are right? The [Injection Health Score](#injection-health-score) checks your chunk size, overlap, and other Vector Storage settings automatically — look for the colored dot in the stats bar.
These are starting points, not universal answers. The right values depend on your embedding model, memory file size, and how your character's memories are structured. See [Tuning Vector Storage](#tuning-vector-storage) for how to test and adjust.
#### Local vs API-Based Vectorization
#### Choosing an Embedding Source
**Local (Transformers)** runs the embedding model in your browser. It's the simplest option — no API key, no cost, no privacy concerns (memories never leave your machine). For retrieval quality, local is perfectly adequate: embedding is a much simpler task than generation, and for a typical CharMemory use case (dozens to low hundreds of memory bullets), the semantic gaps between relevant and irrelevant memories are wide enough that any reasonable model catches them.
The embedding model determines how well Vector Storage can distinguish relevant memories from irrelevant ones. This matters more than you might expect — the wrong model can mean your character recalls vaguely related memories instead of the specific ones that matter.
**When to use an API source instead:**
| Source | Quality | Speed | Cost | Best for |
|--------|---------|-------|------|----------|
| **Local (Transformers)** | Adequate | Slow | Free | Getting started, privacy, small memory files |
| **OpenAI** | Excellent | Fast | ~$0.01/1M tokens | Best retrieval quality, large memory files |
| **NanoGPT** | Excellent | Fast | Pay-as-you-go | Same API key for extraction and embedding |
| **Ollama** | Good–Excellent | Fast | Free (local GPU) | Good quality without API costs |
| **Cohere / Jina / Voyage** | Good–Excellent | Fast | Free tier / cheap | Alternatives if you already use one |
- **Low-powered devices** — Local Transformers loads a ~100 MB model into your browser and runs inference on your CPU/GPU. On a phone, tablet, Chromebook, or older laptop this can be noticeably slow and eat battery. An API source offloads that work to a remote server.
- **Faster vectorization** — API sources return embeddings in milliseconds per call vs. the local model's per-chunk processing time. This matters most during bulk operations like batch extraction or revectorization of large memory files.
- **Large memory files** — If a character has hundreds of memory bullets, the local model has to churn through many chunks. An API source handles this faster.
**Model recommendations:**
**When local is the better choice:**
- **Local Transformers**: The default model (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`, 384 dimensions) works for getting started but has lower discrimination than larger models. If you stay on local, check if your SillyTavern version offers `nomic-embed-text` or `bge-base-en-v1.5` (768 dimensions) as alternatives.
- **OpenAI / NanoGPT**: `text-embedding-3-small` is the best balance of quality, speed, and cost. Memory files are tiny — even hundreds of blocks cost fractions of a cent to embed. If you already use **NanoGPT** for extraction, you can use the same API key for embedding — select it as your vectorization source in Vector Storage and it provides `text-embedding-3-small` among its available models.
- **Ollama**: `nomic-embed-text` is a good local option with better quality than the default browser model.
- You don't want another API key or dependency
- Privacy matters — your memories stay on your machine
- Your device handles it fine (most desktop/laptop setups do)
The retrieval quality difference between local and hosted embeddings is negligible for CharMemory. The bottleneck is almost always memory *content* quality, not the embedding model.
For most users, **`text-embedding-3-small`** (via OpenAI or NanoGPT) or **`nomic-embed-text`** (via Ollama) will give noticeably better retrieval than the default local model — especially as your memory file grows past 50+ blocks.

- Content bullets start with `- ` (dash space) — this is the only recognized format
- Blocks are limited to ~5 content bullets (not counting the topic tag) to keep them focused
- Multiple blocks from the same chat can optionally be merged (see "Merge extraction chunks" in Settings). This is off by default to keep blocks smaller for consolidation
- The file is append-only during normal operation — new extractions add blocks at the end
- Old files using the `## Memory N` heading format are auto-migrated on first read

## Tuning Vector Storage
Vector Storage settings interact with your memory file format, embedding model, and character's memory content. There is no single "correct" configuration — you need to test and adjust for your setup. This section explains what each setting does, how to test whether it's working, and how to iterate.
### How Vectorization Works with CharMemory
The pipeline:
1. CharMemory extracts memories and writes them to a Data Bank file as `<memory>` blocks
2. Vector Storage reads the file and splits it into **chunks** based on `\n\n` (double newline) boundaries
3. Each chunk is sent to the **embedding model**, which converts it into a numerical vector
4. When the character generates a response, Vector Storage compares the current conversation against all stored vectors
5. The top-scoring chunks (above the **score threshold**) are injected into the LLM's context
The key insight: **each chunk gets one embedding**. If a chunk contains a single focused topic, the embedding accurately represents that topic and Vector Storage can retrieve it precisely. If a chunk mixes unrelated topics, the embedding becomes a blurry average and retrieval suffers.
This is why the v1.7.0 topic-tagged format matters — each block starts with a `[Names — topic description]` tag that anchors the embedding to a specific event or theme.
### Why Topic Tags Matter for Retrieval
Without topic tags, a character whose memories are all thematically similar (e.g., all encounters with different people, all combat missions, all cooking sessions) creates a hard problem for vector search. The embedding model produces similar vectors for all of these blocks because they share vocabulary and themes — so when you mention one specific event, Vector Storage can't tell it apart from the others and returns a grab bag.
Topic tags solve this by front-loading each block with unique identifiers: **who was involved** and **what specifically happened**. When the user says "remember the vet?", the embedding for that message matches strongly against `[Flux, Alex — first vet visit and vaccinations]` and weakly against `[Flux, Alex — adoption day at the apartment]`, even though both blocks contain similar content about Flux and Alex. The tag gives the embedding model a discriminating handle.
This was discovered through testing: without topic tags, retrieval at score threshold 0.3 either returned everything (all blocks scored similarly) or nothing (threshold too high). After adding topic tags, the same settings produced targeted, relevant retrieval.
### Understanding Each Setting
**Chunk size** controls how much text goes into each embedding. With topic-tagged blocks (~200-400 chars each), a chunk size of 1000 fits 2-3 blocks. Smaller values give more precise retrieval but create more chunks. Larger values pack more blocks together, reducing precision.
- Too small (< 400): Blocks get split mid-sentence. The topic tag ends up in one chunk and the content bullets in another.
- Too large (> 3000): Multiple unrelated blocks share one embedding. The embedding becomes a vague average and retrieval can't distinguish between topics.
- Sweet spot: Large enough that a single block never gets split, small enough that unrelated blocks don't share chunks. **Start at 1000 and adjust.**
**Chunk overlap** copies the tail end of each chunk into the beginning of the next. This catches blocks that straddle a chunk boundary. With v1.7.0's smaller blocks and a 1000-char chunk size, blocks rarely straddle boundaries, so **0% is a fine starting point**. If you see split blocks in the Injection Viewer (half a block injected without its topic tag), increase to 10-15%.
**Retrieve chunks** controls how many chunks are injected per generation. Each chunk is ~1000 chars (2-3 blocks), so:
- **2-3 chunks**: ~5-8 memory blocks injected. Good for most characters. Keeps injected content focused and relevant.
- **5+**: Injects more context but increases the chance of irrelevant memories diluting the signal. Only useful for characters with very large, diverse memory files where important context is spread across many topics.
**Score threshold** filters out chunks below a similarity score. This is the most important setting for retrieval quality:
- **No threshold (0)**: Vector Storage injects its top N chunks regardless of relevance. If a character has 10 chunks and you retrieve 3, 30% of all memories are injected every time — most will be irrelevant.
- **Too high (> 0.5)**: Only near-exact matches pass. Memories phrased differently from the current conversation get filtered out even when they're topically relevant.
- **Start at 0.3**: This filters out clearly irrelevant chunks while keeping topically related ones. Lower to 0.2 if too few memories are injected, raise to 0.4 if irrelevant ones still slip through. Adjust based on what you see in the Injection Viewer.
**Score threshold varies by embedding model.** A score of 0.3 on `text-embedding-3-small` means something different than 0.3 on `all-MiniLM-L6-v2`. If you change your embedding model, you'll likely need to re-tune your score threshold.
**Query messages** controls how many recent chat messages are used as the vector search query. If set to 1, only the latest message drives retrieval. If set to 3, the last 3 messages are combined.
- **1**: Keeps retrieval tightly focused on what's happening right now. Good default — the most recent message usually captures the current topic.
- **3+**: Blends recent context together, which can dilute the semantic signal. A mix of "let's go to dinner" and "sure, sounds good" produces a vague query that matches everything weakly.
- **Start at 1** and increase only if you find retrieval isn't catching relevant context.
**Size threshold** controls when chunking kicks in. At the default 1 KB, small memory files get a single embedding (the whole file). Once the file grows past 1 KB, Vector Storage starts chunking and semantic search becomes possible. **1 KB is fine for most setups.**
### How to Test and Iterate
The goal is: when your character discusses a topic, the *right* memories are injected — not random ones, not nothing, and not everything.
**Step 1: Generate a message and check what was injected.**
Use the [Injection Viewer](#injection-viewer) (syringe icon on any character message) to see exactly which memory chunks were retrieved. Ask yourself:
- Were relevant memories injected? (If talking about a past event, did memories of that event appear?)
- Were irrelevant memories injected? (Memories about completely different topics?)
- Were *no* memories injected? (Score threshold might be too high, or vectorization isn't working)
**Step 2: Adjust one setting at a time.**
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---------|-------------|-----|
| No memories injected | Score threshold too high, file not vectorized, or "Enable for files" unchecked | Lower score threshold to 0.2 and test. Check the [Health Score](#injection-health-score). |
| Irrelevant memories injected | Score threshold too low or no threshold set | Increase score threshold (try 0.3, then 0.4). |
| Half-blocks injected (bullets without topic tag) | Chunk size too small or block straddling boundary | Increase chunk size or add 10-15% overlap. |
| Too many memories (prompt flooding) | Retrieve chunks too high | Reduce to 2-3. |
| Same memory injected multiple times | Chunk overlap too high or duplicate blocks in file | Reduce overlap. Check for duplicates with [Diagnostics](#using-diagnostics). |
**Step 3: Purge and revectorize after changing settings.**
When you change chunk size, overlap, or the embedding model, the existing vector index is stale — it reflects the old settings. You need to rebuild it:
1. Open **Extensions** → **Vector Storage**
2. Click **Purge Vectors** for the Data Bank file (this deletes the stored embeddings, not your memory file)
3. Generate a message — Vector Storage automatically re-chunks and re-embeds the file on the next generation
If you don't purge, the old chunks persist and your new settings won't take effect.
**Step 4: Repeat.**
Change one setting, purge, generate a message, check Injection Viewer. Repeat until the right memories show up for the right topics.
### Using an LLM to Evaluate Retrieval
The Injection Viewer tells you *what* was injected, but judging whether the right memories were retrieved — especially across dozens of blocks — is tedious to do by eye. You can use an LLM to help.
**What to provide:**
1. **The injected content** — copy from the Injection Viewer (the CharMemory section shows exactly what was sent to the AI)
2. **Your full memory file** — the Data Bank file for the character (so the LLM can see what *wasn't* injected)
3. **The recent chat context** — the last few messages that drove the retrieval query
4. **Your Vector Storage settings** — chunk size, score threshold, retrieve chunks, embedding model
**What to ask:**
- "Given this conversation, which memories *should* have been retrieved? Were any important ones missed?"
- "Are any of the injected memories irrelevant to what's being discussed?"
- "Are the memory blocks distinct enough for vector search to tell apart, or do several look too similar?"
**Why this works:** You're using the LLM as a second pair of eyes to check semantic relevance — something it's good at. It can spot patterns you'd miss: blocks that are thematically too similar, important context that was filtered out by a high score threshold, or memories that are relevant but worded too differently from the chat to match.
This is how the v1.7.0 topic tag format was developed — iterating between adjusting settings, checking the Injection Viewer, and using an LLM to evaluate whether the retrieved memories actually matched the conversation context.
### Embedding Model Impact on Retrieval
The embedding model affects retrieval quality more than most users expect. A weak model produces embeddings where "dinner at the restaurant" and "lunch at the cafe" look nearly identical — so Vector Storage can't tell them apart. A stronger model captures the semantic difference.
**Signs your embedding model isn't discriminating well:**
- Memories about vaguely similar topics always get injected together (all meals, all locations, all emotional moments)
- Score threshold needs to be very high (> 0.4) to filter out noise — meaning even "somewhat related" memories score high
- The same memories get injected regardless of what the character is discussing
If you see these patterns, try a higher-quality embedding model before adjusting other settings. See [Choosing an Embedding Source](#choosing-an-embedding-source) for recommendations.
### Why Data Bank and Not Lorebooks?
SillyTavern has two retrieval systems: **Data Bank** (vector-based) and **Lorebooks/World Info** (keyword-based). CharMemory uses Data Bank. Here's why:
| | Data Bank + Vector Storage | Lorebooks / World Info |
|---|---|---|
| **How it retrieves** | Semantic similarity (embeddings) | Keyword matching (exact or regex) |
| **"Remember the vet?"** | Matches memories about vet visits, vaccinations, or related context | Only fires if "vet" is an exact keyword |
| **Maintenance** | Zero — just extract and forget | High — every entry needs trigger keywords |
| **Scaling** | Works fine at 100+ memory blocks | Managing 100+ lorebook entries is painful |
| **Best for** | Episodic memories that accumulate over time | Stable world-building facts with clear trigger words |
**Lorebooks would be worse for memories because:**
- **Who picks the keywords?** The extraction LLM would need to generate trigger keywords for each memory, or you'd do it manually. Both are error-prone.
- **Keyword brittleness** — if a memory about the vet visit is keyed on "vet" but the chat says "that time he got his shots", it won't trigger. Vector search catches that semantic connection.
- **Lorebooks are designed for stable facts** (locations, characters, lore) that rarely change and have obvious trigger words. Memories are episodic, numerous, and don't have natural keywords.
CharMemory and lorebooks can coexist — they use different storage and retrieval systems. Use lorebooks for world-building, CharMemory for what happens during chat.
---
## Troubleshooting
**"0 memories" after extraction**: Check the Activity Log (Tools → Activity Log). It shows exactly what happened — whether the LLM returned NO_NEW_MEMORIES, produced unparseable output, or encountered an error. Enable **Verbose** mode to see the full prompt and response. If verbose mode shows `finish=length` with completion tokens used but 0 chars content, you're using a reasoning/thinking model that needs a higher **Max response length** — increase it to 2000–3000.

# Retrieval-Optimized Memory Format — Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Improve vector retrieval precision by updating extraction/consolidation prompts to produce topic-tagged, concise memory blocks, adding a Reformat tool for existing memories, and enhancing diagnostics to warn about Vector Storage misconfigurations.
**Architecture:** Three phases — (1) update all prompt strings and tests, (2) add Reformat tool to the Tools tab using the existing conversion dialog pattern, (3) enhance health checks. All changes are in `index.js`, `settings.html`, `lib.js`, and test files. No new dependencies.

- Modify: `index.js:111-183` (the `defaultExtractionPrompt` template literal)
- Reference: `docs/proposed-solo-extraction-prompt.txt`
**Step 1: Read the current prompt and proposed replacement**
Read `index.js` lines 111-183 and `docs/proposed-solo-extraction-prompt.txt` to confirm the exact diff.
**Step 2: Replace `defaultExtractionPrompt` in index.js**
Replace the entire template literal (lines 111-183) with the contents of `docs/proposed-solo-extraction-prompt.txt`, wrapped in backticks as a template literal. Key changes:
- New instruction 6: topic tag as first bullet `- [Names — description]`

- Updated positive example: Flux topic tag + 3 outcome bullets
- Positive example label changed from "Marcus — warehouse heist" to Flux example
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: update default extraction prompt with topic tags and 5-bullet limit"
```
### Task 2: Update Group Extraction Prompt

- Modify: `index.js:4090-4104` (`buildConsolidationPrompt` ADDITIONAL FORMAT RULES)
- Reference: `docs/proposed-consolidation-presets.txt`
**Step 1: Update the three preset prompt strings**
In `CONSOLIDATION_PRESETS` (line 4066):
**Conservative** — append to existing prompt:
```
Each block must start with a topic tag as the first bullet: "- [Names involved — short description]" (e.g., "- [Alex, Flux — adoption day at the apartment]"). Preserve existing topic tags.
```
**Balanced** — append to existing prompt:
```
Each block must start with a topic tag as the first bullet: "- [Names involved — short description]" (e.g., "- [Alex, Flux — adoption day at the apartment]"). When merging blocks, update the topic tag to reflect the combined content. No more than 5 bullets per block (not counting the topic tag).
```
**Aggressive** — append to existing prompt:
```
Each block must start with a topic tag as the first bullet: "- [Names/themes — short description]" (e.g., "- [Alex, Sarah — first visit to the apartment]"). No more than 5 bullets per block (not counting the topic tag). Always name specific people — never use "a client" or "someone."
```
**Step 2: Update the FORMAT RULES in `buildConsolidationPrompt()`**
At line 4096-4100, replace the ADDITIONAL FORMAT RULES section:
```javascript
ADDITIONAL FORMAT RULES:
1. Do NOT use emojis anywhere in the output.
2. Do NOT copy text verbatim from the input — rephrase in third person.
3. Group memories by theme or encounter. Each group is wrapped in <memory chat="Theme Name"></memory> tags where "Theme Name" is a short, specific label. Prefer encounter-specific labels (e.g., "Adoption day at the apartment", "First vet visit") over broad categories (e.g., "Key Events", "Relationships"). Specific labels improve later retrieval.
4. Inside each <memory> block, use a markdown bulleted list (lines starting with "- ").
5. The first bullet in each block must be a topic tag: "- [Names — short description]". This is mandatory.
6. Always use specific names for people involved, never generic labels like "a client" or "someone."
```
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: update consolidation presets with topic tags and encounter-specific labels"
```
### Task 4: Update Conversion/Reformat Prompt
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js:240-253` (`defaultConversionPrompt` template literal)
- Reference: `docs/proposed-reformat-prompt.txt`
**Step 1: Replace `defaultConversionPrompt` with the unified reformat prompt**
Replace the entire template literal with the contents of `docs/proposed-reformat-prompt.txt`. This prompt handles all three cases:
- Unstructured text → create `<memory>` blocks with topic tags
- Existing `<memory>` blocks without tags → add tags + trim to 5 bullets
- Already-formatted blocks → leave unchanged
Note: The `{{today}}` placeholder in the prompt needs to be substituted at call time. Check how `convertWithLLM()` (line 802) builds the prompt — it uses `defaultConversionPrompt` with `{{sourceText}}` and `{{charName}}` substitutions. Add `{{today}}` substitution there:
```javascript
.replace(/\{\{today\}\}/g, new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10))
```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: replace conversion prompt with unified reformat prompt"
```
### Task 5: Update lib.js Copies (if applicable)
**Files:**
- Modify: `lib.js` (if any prompt-related functions are duplicated there)
**Step 1: Check if lib.js contains any of the updated functions**
The prompts are constants, not functions. `lib.js` only contains copies of `stripNonDiegetic`, `formatChatMessages`, and `substitutePromptTemplate`. The prompt constants are NOT in `lib.js`.
**Step 2: Run the sync check test to verify**
Run: `npm test -- --grep "sync"`
Expected: PASS — the sync check only validates the three duplicated functions, not prompt constants.
**Step 3: No changes needed to lib.js for prompt updates.**
### Task 6: Update Sample LLM Response Fixture
**Files:**
- Modify: `test/fixtures/sample-llm-response.txt`
**Step 1: Update the fixture to include a topic tag**
The current fixture:
```
<memory chat="main_abc123" date="2026-01-15 10:00">
- Alex adopted Flux the Cat from a pet store and brought him to his penthouse apartment
- Flux immediately bonded with his custom Gundam-styled Roomba, using it as personal transport
- Alex works in marketing and had a video conference with his boss Mr. Henderson on Flux's first day
- Flux's first meal was premium salmon pate, which triggered his first purr in the new home
</memory>
```
Replace with:
```
<memory chat="main_abc123" date="2026-01-15 10:00">
- [Alex, Flux — adoption day and settling into the apartment]
- Alex adopted Flux and brought him to his penthouse, where Flux immediately bonded with his custom Gundam-styled Roomba.
- Flux's first meal of premium salmon pate triggered his first purr in the new home.
- Alex assembled a cat tree that Flux claimed as a second perch alongside the Roomba.
</memory>
```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add test/fixtures/sample-llm-response.txt
git commit -m "test: update sample LLM response fixture with topic tag format"
```
### Task 7: Update Snapshot Tests
**Files:**
- Modify: `test/integration/__snapshots__/snapshot.test.js.snap`
**Step 1: Run snapshot tests to see what breaks**
Run: `npm run test:snapshot`
Expected: The `substitutePromptTemplate` snapshots will fail because the default prompt text changed. The `formatChatMessages` and `stripNonDiegetic` snapshots should still pass (they don't involve prompt text).
**Step 2: Review the snapshot diff**
The failing snapshots should show the old prompt text being replaced by the new prompt text. Verify the new prompt content looks correct in the snapshot output.
**Step 3: Update snapshots**
Run: `npm run test:snapshot -- --update`
**Step 4: Run all tests to confirm everything passes**
Run: `npm test`
Expected: All tests pass.
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add test/
git commit -m "test: update snapshots for new extraction prompt format"
```
---
## Phase 2: Reformat Tool
Add a "Reformat" tool to the Tools tab that runs existing memory files through the LLM to add topic tags and trim bullets. Uses the same dialog pattern as consolidation (preview + edit + confirm + undo).
### Task 8: Add Reformat Pill to Tools Tab HTML
**Files:**
- Modify: `settings.html:57-64` (tool pills section)
- Modify: `settings.html` (add new tool content pane)
**Step 1: Add "Reformat" pill button after "Convert"**
In settings.html, find the tool pills section and add a fourth pill:
```html
<div class="charMemory_toolPill" data-tool="reformat">Reformat</div>
```
**Step 2: Add the Reformat tool content pane**
After `#charMemory_toolConvert`, add:
```html
<div id="charMemory_toolReformat" style="display:none;">
<div class="charMemory_toolDescription">
Reformat existing memories to improve vector retrieval. Adds topic tags, trims to 5 bullets per block, and ensures specific names are used. Works on any format — unstructured text, old memory blocks, or already-formatted blocks.
</div>
<div class="charMemory_inlineRow">
<div id="charMemory_reformatPreview" class="menu_button">
<i class="fa-solid fa-wand-magic-sparkles"></i> Preview Reformat
</div>
<div id="charMemory_undoReformat" class="menu_button" disabled>
<i class="fa-solid fa-rotate-left"></i> Undo Reformat
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add settings.html
git commit -m "feat: add Reformat pill and content pane to Tools tab"
```
### Task 9: Wire Up Reformat Tool in JavaScript
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (add reformat flow near consolidation code, ~line 4050)
- Modify: `index.js` (add event handlers in `setupListeners()`, ~line 4900)
**Step 1: Add `reformatBackup` variable**
Near `consolidationBackup` declaration (search for `let consolidationBackup`), add:
```javascript
let reformatBackup = null;
```
**Step 2: Add `reformatMemories()` async function**
Add after `consolidateMemories()`. This function:
1. Reads the current memory file for the active character
2. If no memories exist, shows error and returns
3. Sends the full memory text through `convertWithLLM()` using the updated `defaultConversionPrompt` (which is now the reformat prompt)
4. Shows a preview dialog using `buildConversionDialog()` (reuse the existing conversion dialog builder — it already has the left/right pane with editing)
5. On confirmation:
- Backs up current content to `reformatBackup`
- Writes reformatted blocks to the memory file
- Enables the Undo button
- Shows success toast
```javascript
async function reformatMemories() {
const context = getContext();
if (!context.characterId) {
toastr.warning('No character selected.', 'CharMemory');
return;
}
const charName = context.name2;
const content = await readMemoriesForCharacter();
if (!content || !content.trim()) {
toastr.warning('No memories found to reformat.', 'CharMemory');
return;
}
const blocks = parseMemories(content);
if (blocks.length === 0) {
toastr.warning('No memory blocks found in file.', 'CharMemory');
return;
}
logActivity(`Reformat started: ${blocks.length} blocks`);
// Check if already formatted (all blocks have topic tags)
const allHaveTags = blocks.every(b => b.bullets.length > 0 && /^\[.+\]$/.test(b.bullets[0].trim()));
if (allHaveTags) {
const proceed = await callGenericPopup(
'All memory blocks already appear to have topic tags. Reformat anyway?',
POPUP_TYPE.CONFIRM,
);
if (!proceed) return;
}
// Send through LLM
const reformatted = await convertWithLLM(content, charName);
if (!reformatted) {
toastr.error('Reformat failed — no response from LLM.', 'CharMemory');
return;
}
const newBlocks = parseMemories(reformatted);
if (newBlocks.length === 0) {
toastr.error('Reformat produced no valid memory blocks.', 'CharMemory');
return;
}
// Show preview dialog (reuse conversion dialog pattern)
const result = await showReformatPreview(blocks, newBlocks, charName);
if (!result) return; // User cancelled
// Save with backup
reformatBackup = content;
const serialized = serializeMemories(result);
await writeMemoriesForCharacter(serialized);
$('#charMemory_undoReformat').prop('disabled', false);
logActivity(`Reformat complete: ${blocks.length} blocks → ${result.length} blocks`);
toastr.success(`Reformatted ${result.length} memory blocks.`, 'CharMemory');
}
```
Note: `showReformatPreview()` should be a simplified version of the consolidation dialog. It needs:
- Left pane: original blocks (read-only)
- Right pane: reformatted blocks (editable — same card editor as consolidation)
- Confirm/Cancel buttons
- Returns the edited blocks array or null if cancelled
The easiest approach is to reuse `buildConsolidationDialog()` with minor modifications, or create a generic `buildMemoryComparisonDialog(originalBlocks, newBlocks, title)` that both consolidation and reformat can use. However, to minimize risk and code churn, the simplest path is to build a standalone `showReformatPreview()` that creates a popup with the same HTML structure as the consolidation dialog.
**Step 3: Add undo handler**
```javascript
async function undoReformat() {
if (!reformatBackup) return;
const confirm = await callGenericPopup(
'Undo the last reformat and restore original memories?',
POPUP_TYPE.CONFIRM,
);
if (!confirm) return;
await writeMemoriesForCharacter(reformatBackup);
reformatBackup = null;
$('#charMemory_undoReformat').prop('disabled', true);
toastr.info('Reformat undone — original memories restored.', 'CharMemory');
logActivity('Reformat undone');
}
```
**Step 4: Wire up event handlers in `setupListeners()`**
Near the consolidation button handlers (search for `$('#charMemory_consolidate')`):
```javascript
$('#charMemory_reformatPreview').off('click').on('click', () => reformatMemories());
$('#charMemory_undoReformat').off('click').on('click', () => undoReformat());
```
Also update the tool pill switching handler to include 'reformat':
```javascript
if (tool === 'reformat') { /* no special init needed */ }
```
**Step 5: Handle `{{today}}` in the conversion prompt**
In `convertWithLLM()` (around line 802-837), add the `{{today}}` substitution when building the prompt:
```javascript
.replace(/\{\{today\}\}/g, new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10))
```
**Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: add Reformat tool with preview, confirmation, and undo"
```
### Task 10: Build the Reformat Preview Dialog
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js` (add `showReformatPreview()` function)
- Modify: `style.css` (reuse existing consolidation dialog styles if possible)
**Step 1: Implement `showReformatPreview()`**
This function creates a popup dialog showing original vs reformatted blocks side-by-side. It should closely follow the consolidation dialog pattern from `buildConsolidationDialog()` (line 4002) but simplified — no strategy dropdown, no re-run button. Just:
- Left pane: "Original" with read-only block cards
- Right pane: "Reformatted" with editable block cards
- Stats bar: "Original: N blocks → Reformatted: M blocks"
- OK/Cancel buttons (via `callGenericPopup`)
Use the same card HTML structure and editing event delegation as the consolidation dialog. The key functions to reference:
- Block card rendering: look at how consolidation renders `editorBlocks` into HTML cards
- Edit mode toggling: the `.charMemory_toggleEdit` click handler
- Bullet editing: the `.charMemory_editBullet` input handler
- Block/bullet deletion: the `.charMemory_deleteBullet` and `.charMemory_deleteBlock` handlers
Since consolidation already uses event delegation on the popup container for editing, the reformat dialog can use the same CSS classes and the same delegation handlers will work automatically — as long as the reformat dialog is shown as a popup with the same class structure.
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js style.css
git commit -m "feat: add reformat preview dialog with side-by-side comparison"
```
---
## Phase 3: Diagnostics Enhancements
Add new health checks that detect common Vector Storage misconfigurations.
### Task 11: Add Retrieve Chunks Health Check
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js:3268-3393` (inside `computeHealthScore()`)
**Step 1: Research how to access Vector Storage settings**
Before implementing, check whether SillyTavern exposes Vector Storage extension settings to other extensions. Look for:
- `extension_settings.vectors` or similar in the ST global scope
- Any API endpoint that returns VS configuration
- The VS extension's settings object in the DOM
If VS settings are accessible, add a check. If not, skip this task and rely on the documentation/UI guidance approach instead.
**Step 2: Add check for retrieve chunks (if accessible)**
After the `chunk_size` check (line 3355), add:
```javascript
// Check: retrieve_chunks — warn if too high
const retrieveChunks = /* access VS setting */;
if (retrieveChunks !== undefined) {
if (retrieveChunks > 5) {
checks.push({
id: 'retrieve_chunks',
level: 'yellow',
label: 'Retrieve chunks is high',
detail: `Retrieve chunks is set to ${retrieveChunks}. For CharMemory, 2-3 is recommended. Higher values inject more memories per message, which can flood the prompt with irrelevant content.`,
});
} else {
checks.push({
id: 'retrieve_chunks',
level: 'green',
label: `Retrieve chunks: ${retrieveChunks}`,
detail: 'Retrieve chunks is in the recommended range for CharMemory.',
});
}
}
```
**Step 3: Add check for score threshold (if accessible)**
```javascript
// Check: score_threshold — info if not set
const scoreThreshold = /* access VS setting */;
if (scoreThreshold !== undefined && scoreThreshold < 0.1) {
checks.push({
id: 'score_threshold',
level: 'yellow',
label: 'No score threshold set',
detail: 'Without a score threshold, low-relevance memories may be injected. Recommended: 0.2-0.3 for most embedding models.',
});
}
```
**Step 4: Commit (if changes were made)**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: add retrieve chunks and score threshold health checks"
```
### Task 12: Update Existing Chunk Size Check
**Files:**
- Modify: `index.js:3333-3355` (existing `chunk_size` check)
**Step 1: Update the chunk size recommendations**
The current check warns if chunk size is smaller than average block or larger than 4x average block. Update the messaging to include the specific recommendation:
```javascript
detail: `Chunk size (${chunkSize} chars) is smaller than the average memory block (${avgBlockSize} chars). This may split blocks mid-content. Recommended: 800-1000 chars for CharMemory.`,
```
And for too-large chunks:
```javascript
detail: `Chunk size (${chunkSize} chars) is much larger than the average memory block (${avgBlockSize} chars). Multiple blocks may be packed into single chunks, reducing retrieval precision. Recommended: 800-1000 chars for CharMemory.`,
```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add index.js
git commit -m "feat: improve chunk size health check messaging with specific recommendations"
```
### Task 13: Add Recommended Settings to Diagnostics Panel
**Files:**
- Modify: `settings.html` (diagnostics section)
- Modify: `index.js` (render the recommendation card)
**Step 1: Add a collapsible "Recommended Vector Storage Settings" section**
In the diagnostics panel area of `settings.html`, add an expandable info section:
```html
<div class="charMemory_settingsRecommendation">
<div class="charMemory_recommendationHeader">
<i class="fa-solid fa-circle-info"></i> Recommended Vector Storage Settings
</div>
<div class="charMemory_recommendationBody" style="display:none;">
<table class="charMemory_recommendationTable">
<tr><td>Embedding Model</td><td>text-embedding-3-small or all-MiniLM-L6-v2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Chunk Size</td><td>800–1000 characters</td></tr>
<tr><td>Chunk Overlap</td><td>0%</td></tr>
<tr><td>Retrieve Chunks</td><td>2–3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Score Threshold</td><td>0.2–0.3 (varies by model)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Size Threshold</td><td>1 KB</td></tr>
<tr><td>Query Messages</td><td>2–3</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
```
**Step 2: Add toggle handler and minimal styling**
In `setupListeners()`:
```javascript
$('.charMemory_recommendationHeader').off('click').on('click', function () {
$(this).next('.charMemory_recommendationBody').slideToggle(200);
});
```
In `style.css`, add minimal styling for the recommendation table.
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add settings.html index.js style.css
git commit -m "feat: add recommended Vector Storage settings card to diagnostics"
```
---
## Phase 4: Version Bump and Cleanup
### Task 14: Update Version and Changelog
**Files:**
- Modify: `manifest.json` (version bump to 1.7.0)
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md` (add v1.7.0 section)
**Step 1: Bump version in manifest.json**
Change `"version": "1.6.1"` to `"version": "1.7.0"`.
**Step 2: Add changelog entry**
Add a new section at the top of CHANGELOG.md:
```markdown
## 1.7.0
### New Features
- **Retrieval-optimized memory format**: Extraction prompts now produce topic-tagged memory blocks with a `[Names — description]` tag as the first bullet. This improves vector search discrimination, allowing Vector Storage to retrieve only the most relevant memories instead of thematically similar ones.
- **Reformat tool**: New tool in the Tools tab that reformats existing memory files to the new topic-tagged format. Works on any input — unstructured text, old memory blocks, or already-formatted blocks. Includes preview dialog, editing, and one-click undo.
- **Recommended VS settings**: Diagnostics panel now includes a "Recommended Vector Storage Settings" card with optimal chunk size, retrieve chunks, score threshold, and other settings for CharMemory.
### Improvements
- **Tighter memory blocks**: Default bullet limit reduced from 8 to 5 per block (not counting the topic tag). Forces outcome-focused extraction rather than step-by-step narration.
- **Better consolidation labels**: Consolidation now uses encounter-specific labels (e.g., "Adoption day at the apartment") instead of broad categories (e.g., "Key Events"). Topic tags are preserved and updated during consolidation.
- **Improved health checks**: Chunk size recommendations now include specific guidance (800-1000 chars). New checks for retrieve chunks and score threshold (when accessible).
- **Named participants**: Extraction and consolidation prompts now require specific names instead of generic labels like "a client" or "someone".
### Migration
- Existing memories continue to work without changes. Use the new **Reformat** tool to add topic tags to existing memory files for improved retrieval.
- Users with customized extraction prompts are unaffected — only the default prompt is updated. Click "Restore Default" to opt into the new format.
```
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add manifest.json CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "chore: bump version to 1.7.0, add changelog"
```
### Task 15: Clean Up Proposed Files
**Files:**
- Delete: `docs/proposed-solo-extraction-prompt.txt`
- Delete: `docs/proposed-group-extraction-prompt.txt`
- Delete: `docs/proposed-consolidation-presets.txt`
- Delete: `docs/proposed-reformat-prompt.txt`
- Delete: `docs/proposed-migration-prompt.txt` (if it exists)
**Step 1: Remove proposed files that are now implemented**
```bash
rm docs/proposed-*.txt
```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add -A docs/proposed-*.txt
git commit -m "chore: remove proposed prompt files (now implemented)"
```
### Task 16: Final Test Run
**Step 1: Run all unit tests**
Run: `npm test`
Expected: All pass.
**Step 2: Run snapshot tests**
Run: `npm run test:snapshot`
Expected: All pass (snapshots were updated in Task 7).
**Step 3: Run sync check**
Run: `npm test -- --grep "sync"`
Expected: Pass — prompt constants are not duplicated in lib.js.
---
## Risk Mitigations
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|
| Prompt changes produce bad extractions | Only affects default prompt; users with custom prompts unaffected. Beta branch testing period before merge to master. |
| Topic tags confuse the LLM during generation | Tags are inside `<memory>` blocks which are already structured data the LLM expects. The `[brackets]` signal metadata, not narrative. |
| 5-bullet limit loses important information | The prompt says "combine related facts into single bullets" not "delete". Test with varied content during beta. |
| Reformat tool destroys memories | Backup + undo mechanism (same pattern as consolidation). Preview dialog before saving. |
| parseMemories() breaks with topic tags | Verified: topic tags parse as regular bullets. No parsing changes needed. |
| Snapshot tests break unexpectedly | Phase 1 updates snapshots intentionally. Phase 2+ adds no snapshot-affecting changes. |
| VS settings not accessible for health checks | Task 11 includes a research step — if settings aren't accessible, we skip the check and rely on the recommendation card (Task 13) instead. |

# Prompt Design: Why the Prompts Changed in v1.7.0
This document explains the reasoning behind the v1.7.0 prompt changes. It's aimed at contributors and users who want to understand *why* the extraction format looks the way it does, rather than just *what* it looks like.
## The Problem: Vector Search Can't Tell Memories Apart
CharMemory stores memories as markdown in a Data Bank file. Vector Storage chunks that file, embeds each chunk, and retrieves the most relevant chunks when the AI generates a response. The quality of retrieval depends entirely on whether the embedding model can distinguish one memory chunk from another.
Before v1.7.0, the extraction prompt produced memory blocks like this:
```
<memory>
- She broke into a warehouse and stole a sealed envelope from a hidden safe.
- She delivered the envelope to her contact, who confirmed it contained what they needed.
</memory>
```
This worked fine for *storage*. But it failed at *retrieval*, because:
1. **No unique identifiers** — the block doesn't say who "she" is, or name the warehouse, the contact, or anything that distinguishes this event from other events.
2. **Thematic similarity** — a character with 50+ memory blocks about encounters with different people produces embeddings that all look alike. The embedding model sees "person did something somewhere" in every block and can't rank them.
3. **No block-level anchoring** — the embedding for a chunk containing 2-3 blocks is an average of everything in that chunk. Without distinctive content per block, the average is meaningless.
## What We Found Through Testing
During v1.7.0 development, we iterated through vectorization settings using the Injection Viewer to see exactly which memories were being retrieved for each AI response:
1. **Local Transformers (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`)** with high chunk overlap → everything scored similarly, almost all memories injected regardless of relevance.
2. **Switched to `text-embedding-3-small` (via NanoGPT)** → better discrimination, but still too many false positives with thematically similar blocks.
3. **Raised score threshold** from 0.0 → 0.2 → 0.3 → got closer, but the core problem remained: blocks about different encounters with different people still scored nearly identically because they shared vocabulary and structure.
4. **Added topic tags** to memory blocks → immediately solved the discrimination problem. Mentioning "the vet" in chat now matched strongly against `[Flux, Alex — first vet visit and vaccinations]` and weakly against `[Flux, Alex — adoption day at the apartment]`, even though both blocks shared vocabulary.
The insight: **the prompt determines the shape of the embedding**. You can't fix retrieval by tuning Vector Storage settings alone — you have to produce text that's *embeddable* in the first place.
## The Three Prompt Changes
### 1. Topic Tags (Instruction 6)
**Before:**
```
6. HARD LIMIT: No more than 8 bullet points TOTAL.
```
**After:**
```
6. Start each block with a topic tag as the first bullet:
"- [Names involved — short description of encounter]"
(e.g., "- [Alex, Sarah — first visit to the apartment]").
This aids later retrieval.
```
The topic tag is the single most important change. It front-loads each block with:
- **Who** was involved (specific names, not "a friend")
- **What** the encounter was about (short, unique descriptor)
This gives the embedding model a discriminating anchor. When the tag text appears in the embedding, it creates a unique signature for that memory block even when the rest of the content shares vocabulary with other blocks.
### 2. Tighter Bullet Limits (Instruction 7)
**Before:**
```
HARD LIMIT: No more than 8 bullet points TOTAL.
```
**After:**
```
HARD LIMIT: No more than 5 bullet points per block (not counting the topic tag).
```
Two changes here:
- **8 → 5 bullets**: Forces the LLM to extract outcomes, not processes. With 8 bullets, the LLM writes play-by-play accounts. With 5, it has to prioritize.
- **"per block" not "TOTAL"**: The old limit was ambiguous — did "8 total" mean across all blocks, or per block? The new wording is explicit.
For vectorization, smaller blocks are better. A 200-400 character block gets a more focused embedding than a 1000-character block. With a chunk size of 1000, you fit 2-3 tight blocks per chunk instead of 1 bloated one.
### 3. Named Participants
**Before:**
```
(No explicit instruction about naming)
```
**After:**
```
- Always name specific people involved — use their name, not "a friend" or "someone"
```
Generic labels like "a client" or "someone" produce generic embeddings. "Sarah" is a unique token that the embedding model can match against. This instruction appears in both the WHAT TO EXTRACT section and the conversion prompt.
## Positive and Negative Examples
The old examples used a generic spy scenario:
```
Bad: 8 bullets narrating a warehouse heist step-by-step
Good: 2 bullets summarizing the outcome
```
The new examples use a specific character scenario (Flux, the cat character from our test fixtures):
```
Bad: 8 bullets narrating adoption day step-by-step
Good: topic tag + 3 bullets capturing the encounter
```
The change serves two purposes:
1. It demonstrates the topic tag format in context
2. It uses a concrete, memorable example that the LLM can pattern-match against (character names, specific objects, emotional beats)
## The Conversion Prompt
The conversion/reformat prompt (`defaultConversionPrompt`) was rewritten to align with the extraction prompt. Key differences from the old conversion prompt:
**Old prompt:**
- "Extract every distinct fact or piece of information as a bullet point"
- "Preserve ALL information — do not summarize, combine, or omit anything"
- Topic grouping by category: "Appearance", "Relationships", "Key Events"
**New prompt:**
- Topic tags required as first bullet
- 5-bullet limit per block with "combine related facts into single bullets rather than deleting information"
- Encounter-specific labels: "First day at the apartment", "Club night with Sam"
- Handles three input types: unstructured text, partially formatted blocks, already-formatted blocks
- Won't touch blocks that are already well-formatted (rule 10)
The old prompt's "preserve ALL" instruction was fundamentally incompatible with tight blocks. The new prompt prioritizes *retrievable* structure over exhaustive preservation. Information is preserved by combining related facts into single bullets, not by allowing unlimited bullets.
## The Group Extraction Prompt
The group prompt (`defaultGroupExtractionPrompt`) mirrors the solo prompt changes with additions specific to multi-character chats:
- Topic tags include the specific character whose memories are being extracted
- Instruction 10: "Reference other participants by name"
- Group dynamics in WHAT TO EXTRACT: "who allied with whom, who disagreed, power shifts"
Group memories are even harder for vector search because multiple characters produce similar encounter descriptions. Topic tags with participant names are essential.
## Impact on Existing Users
- **New users**: Get the new prompts automatically.
- **Existing users with default prompt**: Their extraction prompt is set to `""` (meaning "use default"). They'll get the new format on next extraction.
- **Existing users with customized prompts**: Unaffected. Their custom prompt is stored in settings. They can click "Restore Default" to opt in.
- **Existing memories**: Continue to work. The Convert tool (source: "Current memories") rewrites old-format memories into the topic-tagged format via LLM.
## Lessons
1. **Prompt design is retrieval design.** When your output gets embedded and vector-searched, the shape of the text determines retrieval quality. Prompts that produce good-looking text may produce terrible embeddings.
2. **Test with the Injection Viewer, not the output.** The extraction output looked fine before v1.7.0. The problem only became visible when we looked at *what was being retrieved* for each generation.
3. **Unique tokens matter more than structure.** Markdown formatting, clean grammar, and consistent structure don't help vector search. Unique names, specific descriptions, and distinctive vocabulary do.
4. **Tighter is better for chunking.** A 5-bullet block creates a more focused embedding than an 8-bullet block. The lost detail matters less than the gained precision.

- She crept through the dark corridor and disabled the security camera.
- She found the safe behind a false panel in the office.
- She cracked the combination and retrieved the sealed envelope inside.
- She climbed out through a ventilation shaft to avoid the front entrance.
- She crossed two blocks on foot before reaching her getaway vehicle.
- She handed the envelope to her contact in the parking garage.
- Her contact opened it, confirmed the contents, and gave her a nod.
- Alex set the carrier down on the hardwood floor and opened the metal door.
- Flux emerged from the carrier and walked toward the Gundam Roomba by the window.
- Alex poured premium salmon pâté into a ceramic bowl and placed it near the kitchen island.
- Flux ate the salmon and began purring for the first time.
- Alex had a video conference with Mr. Henderson about the Q1 marketing budget.
- Flux rode the Roomba around the apartment, inspecting a floor lamp and a bookshelf.
- Alex assembled a cat tree in the corner and Flux climbed to the top perch.

POSITIVE EXAMPLE — the same scene extracted well:
<good_example>
- She broke into a warehouse and stole a sealed envelope from a hidden safe.
- She delivered the envelope to her contact, who confirmed it contained what they needed.
- [Alex, Flux — adoption day and settling into the apartment]
- Alex adopted Flux and brought him to his penthouse apartment, where Flux immediately bonded with his custom Gundam-styled Roomba.
- Flux's first meal of premium salmon pâté triggered his first purr in the new home.
- Alex assembled a cat tree that Flux claimed as a second perch, alternating between it and the Roomba.

Two bullets capture the full encounter: what she accomplished and the outcome. No step-by-step process, no scene-setting.
A topic tag plus three bullets capture the full encounter: who was involved, what happened, and the key bonding moments. No step-by-step process, no scene-setting.
NOTE: When content is explicit or violent, name the specific outcome — do not sanitize it into vague language. "She killed him with two shots to the chest" is a memory. "Violence occurred" is not. But this does NOT mean narrate each step leading up to it — summarize the outcome, not the process.

Rules:
1. Extract every distinct fact or piece of information as a bullet point starting with "- ".
2. Group related facts into <memory chat="[Topic Name]" date="[today]"> blocks where Topic Name is a short descriptive label (e.g. "Appearance", "Relationships", "Key Events").

4. Do not add facts, inferences, or details not explicitly stated in the source.
5. Clean up grammar and formatting, but do not change the meaning.
6. Skip formatting artifacts, HTML tags, and metadata that aren't actual memories.
RULES:
1. Every memory block must be wrapped in <memory chat="Topic Name" date="YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"></memory> tags.
2. The chat attribute should be a short, specific encounter label (e.g., "First day at the apartment", "Club night with Sam"). Use existing chat attributes if they already contain a descriptive name.
3. The first bullet in each block must be a topic tag: "- [Names involved — short description]" (e.g., "- [Alex, Sarah — first apartment visit]"). Include all people involved.
4. No more than 5 bullets per block (not counting the topic tag). Combine related facts into single bullets rather than deleting information.
5. Always use specific names — never "a friend", "a client", "someone", or "a stranger".
6. Write in past tense, third person.
7. Do NOT add, infer, or invent any facts not present in the original.
8. Do NOT merge events from different times or encounters into one block — keep them separate.
9. If the input is unstructured text, group related facts by encounter or topic into separate blocks.
10. If the input already has well-formatted blocks with topic tags and 5 or fewer bullets, output them unchanged.
