RAG Remember — Store to Personal Knowledge Graph

Store a specific fact, decision, or observation into your personal LightRAG knowledge graph. Use mid-session when something worth remembering comes up.

[TYPE] Title — YYYY-MM-DD

What: Brief description of the fact or decision
Why: The reasoning or context behind it
Files: Relevant file paths (if applicable)

Entry types

How to store

node -e "
const BASE = process.env.LIGHTRAG_SERVER_URL || 'http://YOUR_LIGHTRAG_HOST:YOUR_PERSONAL_PORT';
(async () => {
  const auth = await fetch(BASE + '/auth-status').then(r => r.json());
  const token = auth.access_token;
  const res = await fetch(BASE + '/documents/text', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      file_source: '[TYPE] Title — YYYY-MM-DD',
      text: 'Full content here with What/Why/Files structure'
    })
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  console.log('Status:', res.status);
})();
"

After inserting

• Confirm to the user: "Stored: [TYPE] Title"
• Do NOT dump the raw API response
• If the insert fails, tell the user and suggest trying again

What NOT to store

• Ephemeral task details — current conversation context, in-progress work steps
• Code from the codebase — it's already in the repo; store the decision, not the code
• Duplicates — query first if unsure whether something is already stored
• Credentials or secrets — never store API keys, passwords, tokens
• Git history — use git log / git blame instead

Infrastructure

• Server: YOUR_LIGHTRAG_HOST:YOUR_PERSONAL_PORT
• Auth: Bearer token from /auth-status (guest/disabled mode)
• Env var: LIGHTRAG_SERVER_URL
