## Core Responsibilities

### 1. HNSW Indexing Optimization (150x-12,500x Faster Search)

The Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) algorithm provides logarithmic search complexity for vector similarity queries.

```javascript
// HNSW Configuration for optimal performance
class HNSWOptimizer {
  constructor() {
    this.defaultParams = {
      // Construction parameters
      M: 16,                    // Max connections per layer
      efConstruction: 200,     // Construction search depth

      // Query parameters
      efSearch: 100,           // Search depth (higher = more accurate)

      // Memory optimization
      maxElements: 1000000,    // Pre-allocate for capacity
      quantization: 'int8'     // 4x memory reduction
    };
  }

  // Optimize HNSW parameters based on workload
  async optimizeForWorkload(workloadType) {
    const optimizations = {
      'high_throughput': {
        M: 12,
        efConstruction: 100,
        efSearch: 50,
        quantization: 'int8'
      },
      'high_accuracy': {
        M: 32,
        efConstruction: 400,
        efSearch: 200,
        quantization: 'float32'
      },
      'balanced': {
        M: 16,
        efConstruction: 200,
        efSearch: 100,
        quantization: 'float16'
      },
      'memory_constrained': {
        M: 8,
        efConstruction: 50,
        efSearch: 30,
        quantization: 'int4'
      }
    };

    return optimizations[workloadType] || optimizations['balanced'];
  }

  // Performance benchmarks
  measureSearchPerformance(indexSize, dimensions) {
    const baselineLinear = indexSize * dimensions; // O(n*d)
    const hnswComplexity = Math.log2(indexSize) * this.defaultParams.M;

    return {
      linearComplexity: baselineLinear,
      hnswComplexity: hnswComplexity,
      speedup: baselineLinear / hnswComplexity,
      expectedLatency: hnswComplexity * 0.001 // ms per operation
    };
  }
}
```

### 2. Hybrid Memory Backend (SQLite + AgentDB)

Implements ADR-009 for combining structured storage with vector capabilities.

```javascript
// Hybrid Memory Backend Implementation
class HybridMemoryBackend {
  constructor() {
    // SQLite for structured data (relations, metadata, sessions)
    this.sqlite = new SQLiteBackend({
      path: process.env.CLAUDE_FLOW_MEMORY_PATH || './data/memory',
      walMode: true,
      cacheSize: 10000,
      mmap: true
    });

    // AgentDB for vector embeddings and semantic search
    this.agentdb = new AgentDBBackend({
      dimensions: 1536,        // OpenAI embedding dimensions
      metric: 'cosine',
      indexType: 'hnsw',
      quantization: 'int8'
    });

    // Unified query interface
    this.queryRouter = new QueryRouter(this.sqlite, this.agentdb);
  }

  // Intelligent query routing
  async query(querySpec) {
    const queryType = this.classifyQuery(querySpec);

    switch (queryType) {
      case 'structured':
        return this.sqlite.query(querySpec);
      case 'semantic':
        return this.agentdb.semanticSearch(querySpec);
      case 'hybrid':
        return this.hybridQuery(querySpec);
      default:
        throw new Error(`Unknown query type: ${queryType}`);
    }
  }

  // Hybrid query combining structured and vector search
  async hybridQuery(querySpec) {
    const [structuredResults, semanticResults] = await Promise.all([
      this.sqlite.query(querySpec.structured),
      this.agentdb.semanticSearch(querySpec.semantic)
    ]);

    // Fusion scoring
    return this.fuseResults(structuredResults, semanticResults, {
      structuredWeight: querySpec.structuredWeight || 0.5,
      semanticWeight: querySpec.semanticWeight || 0.5,
      rrf_k: 60  // Reciprocal Rank Fusion parameter
    });
  }

  // Result fusion with Reciprocal Rank Fusion
  fuseResults(structured, semantic, weights) {
    const scores = new Map();

    // Score structured results
    structured.forEach((item, rank) => {
      const score = weights.structuredWeight / (weights.rrf_k + rank + 1);
      scores.set(item.id, (scores.get(item.id) || 0) + score);
    });

    // Score semantic results
    semantic.forEach((item, rank) => {
      const score = weights.semanticWeight / (weights.rrf_k + rank + 1);
      scores.set(item.id, (scores.get(item.id) || 0) + score);
    });

    // Sort by combined score
    return Array.from(scores.entries())
      .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
      .map(([id, score]) => ({ id, score }));
  }
}
```

### 3. Vector Quantization (4-32x Memory Reduction)

```javascript
// Vector Quantization System
class VectorQuantizer {
  constructor() {
    this.quantizationMethods = {
      'float32': { bits: 32, factor: 1 },
      'float16': { bits: 16, factor: 2 },
      'int8':    { bits: 8,  factor: 4 },
      'int4':    { bits: 4,  factor: 8 },
      'binary':  { bits: 1,  factor: 32 }
    };
  }

  // Quantize vectors with specified method
  async quantize(vectors, method = 'int8') {
    const config = this.quantizationMethods[method];
    if (!config) throw new Error(`Unknown quantization method: ${method}`);

    const quantized = [];
    const metadata = {
      method,
      originalDimensions: vectors[0].length,
      compressionRatio: config.factor,
      calibrationStats: await this.computeCalibrationStats(vectors)
    };

    for (const vector of vectors) {
      quantized.push(await this.quantizeVector(vector, method, metadata.calibrationStats));
    }

    return { quantized, metadata };
  }

  // Compute calibration statistics for quantization
  async computeCalibrationStats(vectors, percentile = 99.9) {
    const allValues = vectors.flat();
    allValues.sort((a, b) => a - b);

    const idx = Math.floor(allValues.length * (percentile / 100));
    const absMax = Math.max(Math.abs(allValues[0]), Math.abs(allValues[idx]));

    return {
      min: allValues[0],
      max: allValues[allValues.length - 1],
      absMax,
      mean: allValues.reduce((a, b) => a + b) / allValues.length,
      scale: absMax / 127  // For int8 quantization
    };
  }

  // INT8 symmetric quantization
  quantizeToInt8(vector, stats) {
    return vector.map(v => {
      const scaled = v / stats.scale;
      return Math.max(-128, Math.min(127, Math.round(scaled)));
    });
  }

  // Dequantize for inference
  dequantize(quantizedVector, metadata) {
    return quantizedVector.map(v => v * metadata.calibrationStats.scale);
  }

  // Product Quantization for extreme compression
  async productQuantize(vectors, numSubvectors = 8, numCentroids = 256) {
    const dims = vectors[0].length;
    const subvectorDim = dims / numSubvectors;

    // Train codebooks for each subvector
    const codebooks = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < numSubvectors; i++) {
      const subvectors = vectors.map(v =>
        v.slice(i * subvectorDim, (i + 1) * subvectorDim)
      );
      codebooks.push(await this.trainCodebook(subvectors, numCentroids));
    }

    // Encode vectors using codebooks
    const encoded = vectors.map(v =>
      this.encodeWithCodebooks(v, codebooks, subvectorDim)
    );

    return { encoded, codebooks, compressionRatio: dims / numSubvectors };
  }
}
```

### 4. Memory Consolidation and Cleanup

```javascript
// Memory Consolidation System
class MemoryConsolidator {
  constructor() {
    this.consolidationStrategies = {
      'temporal': new TemporalConsolidation(),
      'semantic': new SemanticConsolidation(),
      'importance': new ImportanceBasedConsolidation(),
      'hybrid': new HybridConsolidation()
    };
  }

  // Consolidate memory based on strategy
  async consolidate(namespace, strategy = 'hybrid') {
    const consolidator = this.consolidationStrategies[strategy];

    // 1. Analyze current memory state
    const analysis = await this.analyzeMemoryState(namespace);

    // 2. Identify consolidation candidates
    const candidates = await consolidator.identifyCandidates(analysis);

    // 3. Execute consolidation
    const results = await this.executeConsolidation(candidates);

    // 4. Update indexes
    await this.rebuildIndexes(namespace);

    // 5. Generate consolidation report
    return this.generateReport(analysis, results);
  }

  // Temporal consolidation - merge time-adjacent memories
  async temporalConsolidation(memories) {
    const timeWindows = this.groupByTimeWindow(memories, 3600000); // 1 hour
    const consolidated = [];

    for (const window of timeWindows) {
      if (window.memories.length > 1) {
        const merged = await this.mergeMemories(window.memories);
        consolidated.push(merged);
      } else {
        consolidated.push(window.memories[0]);
      }
    }

    return consolidated;
  }

  // Semantic consolidation - merge similar memories
  async semanticConsolidation(memories, similarityThreshold = 0.85) {
    const clusters = await this.clusterBySimilarity(memories, similarityThreshold);
    const consolidated = [];

    for (const cluster of clusters) {
      if (cluster.length > 1) {
        // Create representative memory from cluster
        const representative = await this.createRepresentative(cluster);
        consolidated.push(representative);
      } else {
        consolidated.push(cluster[0]);
      }
    }

    return consolidated;
  }

  // Importance-based consolidation
  async importanceConsolidation(memories, retentionRatio = 0.7) {
    // Score memories by importance
    const scored = memories.map(m => ({
      memory: m,
      score: this.calculateImportanceScore(m)
    }));

    // Sort by importance
    scored.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score);

    // Keep top N% based on retention ratio
    const keepCount = Math.ceil(scored.length * retentionRatio);
    return scored.slice(0, keepCount).map(s => s.memory);
  }

  // Calculate importance score
  calculateImportanceScore(memory) {
    return (
      memory.accessCount * 0.3 +
      memory.recency * 0.2 +
      memory.relevanceScore * 0.3 +
      memory.userExplicit * 0.2
    );
  }
}
```

### 5. Cross-Session Persistence Patterns

```javascript
// Cross-Session Persistence Manager
class SessionPersistenceManager {
  constructor() {
    this.persistenceStrategies = {
      'full': new FullPersistence(),
      'incremental': new IncrementalPersistence(),
      'differential': new DifferentialPersistence(),
      'checkpoint': new CheckpointPersistence()
    };
  }

  // Save session state
  async saveSession(sessionId, state, strategy = 'incremental') {
    const persister = this.persistenceStrategies[strategy];

    // Create session snapshot
    const snapshot = {
      sessionId,
      timestamp: Date.now(),
      state: await persister.serialize(state),
      metadata: {
        strategy,
        version: '3.0.0',
        checksum: await this.computeChecksum(state)
      }
    };

    // Store snapshot
    await mcp.memory_usage({
      action: 'store',
      namespace: 'sessions',
      key: `session:${sessionId}:snapshot`,
      value: JSON.stringify(snapshot),
      ttl: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // 30 days
    });

    // Store session index
    await this.updateSessionIndex(sessionId, snapshot.metadata);

    return snapshot;
  }

  // Restore session state
  async restoreSession(sessionId) {
    // Retrieve snapshot
    const snapshotData = await mcp.memory_usage({
      action: 'retrieve',
      namespace: 'sessions',
      key: `session:${sessionId}:snapshot`
    });

    if (!snapshotData) {
      throw new Error(`Session ${sessionId} not found`);
    }

    const snapshot = JSON.parse(snapshotData);

    // Verify checksum
    const isValid = await this.verifyChecksum(snapshot.state, snapshot.metadata.checksum);
    if (!isValid) {
      throw new Error(`Session ${sessionId} checksum verification failed`);
    }

    // Deserialize state
    const persister = this.persistenceStrategies[snapshot.metadata.strategy];
    return persister.deserialize(snapshot.state);
  }

  // Incremental session sync
  async syncSession(sessionId, changes) {
    // Get current session state
    const currentState = await this.restoreSession(sessionId);

    // Apply changes incrementally
    const updatedState = await this.applyChanges(currentState, changes);

    // Save updated state
    return this.saveSession(sessionId, updatedState, 'incremental');
  }
}
```

### 6. Namespace Management and Isolation

```javascript
// Namespace Manager
class NamespaceManager {
  constructor() {
    this.namespaces = new Map();
    this.isolationPolicies = new Map();
  }

  // Create namespace with configuration
  async createNamespace(name, config = {}) {
    const namespace = {
      name,
      created: Date.now(),
      config: {
        maxSize: config.maxSize || 100 * 1024 * 1024, // 100MB default
        ttl: config.ttl || null, // No expiration by default
        isolation: config.isolation || 'standard',
        encryption: config.encryption || false,
        replication: config.replication || 1,
        indexing: config.indexing || {

        }
      },
      stats: {
        entryCount: 0,
        sizeBytes: 0,
        lastAccess: Date.now()
      }
    };

    // Initialize namespace storage
    await mcp.memory_namespace({
      namespace: name,
      action: 'create'
    });

    this.namespaces.set(name, namespace);
    return namespace;
  }

  // Namespace isolation policies

        auditLogging: false,
        encryption: null,
        readOnly: false
      }
    };

    if (!validPolicies[policy]) {
      throw new Error(`Unknown isolation policy: ${policy}`);
    }

    this.isolationPolicies.set(namespace, validPolicies[policy]);
    return validPolicies[policy];
  }

  // Namespace hierarchy management
  async createHierarchy(rootNamespace, structure) {
    const created = [];

    const createRecursive = async (parent, children) => {
      for (const [name, substructure] of Object.entries(children)) {
        const fullName = `${parent}/${name}`;
        await this.createNamespace(fullName, substructure.config || {});
        created.push(fullName);

        if (substructure.children) {
          await createRecursive(fullName, substructure.children);
        }
      }
    };

    await this.createNamespace(rootNamespace);
    created.push(rootNamespace);

    if (structure.children) {
      await createRecursive(rootNamespace, structure.children);
    }

    return created;
  }
}
```

### 7. Memory Sync Across Distributed Agents

```javascript
// Distributed Memory Synchronizer
class DistributedMemorySync {
  constructor() {
    this.syncStrategies = {
      'eventual': new EventualConsistencySync(),
      'strong': new StrongConsistencySync(),

    // Resolve conflicts
    const resolvedState = await this.resolveConflicts(mergedState);

    // Propagate updates
    await this.propagateUpdates(resolvedState, peers);

    return resolvedState;

### 8. EWC++ for Preventing Catastrophic Forgetting

Implements Elastic Weight Consolidation++ to preserve important learned patterns.

```javascript
// EWC++ Implementation for Memory Preservation
class EWCPlusPlusManager {
  constructor() {
    this.fisherInformation = new Map();

## Best Practices

### Memory Organization

```
Namespace Hierarchy:
  global/                    # Cross-project patterns
    patterns/               # Reusable code patterns
    strategies/             # Solution strategies
  project/<name>/           # Project-specific memory
    context/               # Project context
    decisions/             # Architecture decisions
    sessions/              # Session states
  swarm/<swarm-id>/        # Swarm coordination
    coordination/          # Agent coordination data
    results/               # Task results
    metrics/               # Performance metrics
```

### Memory Lifecycle

1. **Store** - Always include embeddings for semantic search
2. **Index** - Let HNSW automatically index new entries
3. **Search** - Use hybrid search for best results
4. **Consolidate** - Run consolidation weekly
5. **Persist** - Save session state on exit
6. **Backup** - Regular backups for disaster recovery

## Collaboration Points

- **Hierarchical Coordinator**: Manages memory allocation for swarm tasks
- **Performance Engineer**: Optimizes memory access patterns
- **Security Architect**: Ensures memory encryption and isolation
- **CRDT Synchronizer**: Coordinates distributed memory state
