# PAIF Session Protocol
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Enable agents to maintain continuity across disconnected sessions by checkpointing state at session end and restoring it at session start.
|
|
|
|
## Checkpoint Data Structure
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
session_checkpoint:
|
|
metadata:
|
|
agent_id: "string"
|
|
session_id: "uuid"
|
|
started_at: "ISO8601"
|
|
ended_at: "ISO8601"
|
|
duration_seconds: "integer"
|
|
checkpoint_version: "1.0"
|
|
|
|
context:
|
|
current_focus: "string" # From mutable.state.current_focus
|
|
active_project_ids: ["string"] # Which projects were being worked on
|
|
conversation_summary: "string" # Brief summary of what happened
|
|
pending_items: ["string"] # Things left unresolved
|
|
|
|
recent_memories:
|
|
# References to memories created in this session
|
|
memory_ids: ["uuid"]
|
|
last_recall_query: "string|null" # Last thing the agent was searching for
|
|
|
|
identity_updates:
|
|
# Changes made to identity during session
|
|
new_beliefs: [{subject, confidence}]
|
|
new_skills: [{name, level}]
|
|
new_relationships: [{entity, type}]
|
|
drift_checks: {passed: 0, failed: 0}
|
|
|
|
working_memory:
|
|
# Temporary state that won't persist to long-term memory
|
|
# e.g., partial code, draft text, calculation state
|
|
scratchpad: "string"
|
|
open_files: ["path"] # Files that were being edited
|
|
context_stack: ["string"] # Mental stack of what agent was doing
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Protocol Flow
|
|
|
|
### Session Start (Restore)
|
|
|
|
1. Agent authenticates with memory-bridge
|
|
2. Load identity.yaml
|
|
3. Load most recent checkpoint (if exists)
|
|
4. Restore working memory and context
|
|
5. Set `mutable.state.last_session_at` to now
|
|
6. Increment `accumulated_experience`
|
|
|
|
### During Session
|
|
|
|
1. Normal operation (store/recall memories, validate identity alignment)
|
|
2. Periodically update mutable state (beliefs, skills, relationships)
|
|
3. Persona gravity checks (see next component)
|
|
|
|
### Session End (Checkpoint)
|
|
|
|
1. Summarize session (what was done, what remains)
|
|
2. Collect memory IDs created this session
|
|
3. Update mutable state with session stats
|
|
4. Write checkpoint file
|
|
5. Store checkpoint reference in memory-bridge
|
|
|
|
## API Endpoints
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /checkpoint/:agent_id - Create checkpoint at session end
|
|
GET /checkpoint/:agent_id/latest - Get most recent checkpoint
|
|
POST /restore/:agent_id - Restore from checkpoint (mark session start)
|
|
GET /sessions/:agent_id - List all sessions for agent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## File Storage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.memory-bridge/
|
|
└── checkpoints/
|
|
├── zero/
|
|
│ ├── checkpoint-2026-04-04T18-34-00.json
|
|
│ └── checkpoint-2026-04-04T20-15-30.json
|
|
└── claude/
|
|
└── checkpoint-2026-04-04T19-00-00.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Claude Code
|
|
|
|
In .claude/CLAUDE.md:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
paif_config:
|
|
agent_id: "zero"
|
|
session_protocol:
|
|
checkpoint_on_exit: true
|
|
restore_on_start: true
|
|
checkpoint_interval_minutes: 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Scripts in session:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# At session start
|
|
claude-paif restore --agent zero
|
|
|
|
# At session end
|
|
claude-paif checkpoint --agent zero --summary "Implemented PAIF namespace isolation"
|
|
```
