name: atlas description: Ingest project documentation and code into persistent semantic memory (Qdrant + Voyage embeddings). Use when user wants to remember context across sessions, ingest docs, or search previous work. Requires Qdrant running locally and VOYAGE_API_KEY set. allowed-tools: Bash(bun:*)

Atlas - Persistent Semantic Memory

Atlas provides automatic context ingestion and retrieval using Voyage embeddings + Qdrant vector database. Solves the context overflow problem by storing knowledge persistently across sessions.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Qdrant running locally:

docker run -d -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant

2. VOYAGE_API_KEY set (get from https://voyageai.com):

export VOYAGE_API_KEY="your-key-here"

3. Verify setup:

curl http://localhost:6333/health

Ingesting Context

Store files in Atlas memory for persistent retrieval:

Ingest Single File

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas ingest /path/to/file.md

Ingest Directory (Recursive)

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas ingest /path/to/docs/ --recursive

Ingest Multiple Paths

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas ingest README.md src/index.ts docs/ -r

What gets ingested:

• Supported: .md, .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .json, .yaml, .qntm, .rs, .go, .py, .sh, .css, .html
• Ignored: node_modules, .git, dist, build, coverage, .atlas

Processing:

• Chunks text (768 tokens, 13% overlap) for semantic coherence
• Embeds with Voyage-3-large (1024-dim)
• Stores in Qdrant with dual-indexing (semantic QNTM keys + temporal timestamps)
• Preserves original text for future consolidation

Searching Context

Retrieve relevant context semantically:

Basic Search

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas search "typescript patterns"

Limited Results

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas search "memory consolidation" --limit 10

Temporal Filtering (Since Date)

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas search "sleep patterns" --since "2025-12-25"

Chronological Timeline

cd ~/production/atlas
bun run --filter @inherent.design/atlas atlas timeline --since "2025-12-01"

When to Use This Skill

Use Atlas when:

• User asks to "remember this across sessions"
• Project context is too large for single session
• User wants to search previous work/decisions
• Documentation needs to be queryable
• Building on previous research or code

Examples:

• "Remember the API architecture we discussed"
• "What did we decide about the database schema?"
• "Find all mentions of authentication patterns"
• "Ingest all the .atlas research files"

Architecture

Built on .atlas research (Steps 1-4 + Sleep Patterns):

Stack:

• Voyage-3-large embeddings (1024-dim, 9.74% better than OpenAI)
• Qdrant HNSW index (M=16, int8 quantization, 4x compression)
• RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter (semantic boundaries)
• Dual-indexing (QNTM semantic keys + RFC 3339 timestamps)

Production Config (from Step 3 research):

• Recall@10: >0.98
• Latency: 10-50ms (p95)
• Memory: 1.4GB RAM + 5GB disk per 1M vectors
