AutoDream

AutoDream is a plugin that depends on the builtin _memory plugin of Agent Zero.

Agent Zero's _memory plugin stores everything: every fragment, every session, but never forgets, never prioritises. Over time the vector database fills with duplicate fragments, stale context, and noise that dilutes semantic recall.

AutoDream gives the agent a sleep cycle. It periodically reviews recent sessions, merges what overlaps, promotes what matters, and lets the rest fade, exactly the way memory consolidation works during REM sleep. The result is a leaner, higher-signal long-term memory that actually improves with use instead of degrading under its own weight.

Dependency Model

• _memory remains the source of vector storage, similarity search, and memory-subdirectory resolution.
• AutoDream owns the reflective pass, prompt contract, durable markdown files, MEMORY.md generation, and dream changelog.
• AutoDream keeps its code and settings under usr/plugins/AutoDream/, but stores durable memory inside each _memory scope so project-isolated memory continues to work as expected.

Files Written

For each memory scope, AutoDream writes:

• autodream/MEMORY.md as a compact index
• autodream/memories/*.md as durable memory files
• autodream/.dream-log.md as a short changelog of each dream run
• autodream/state.json and autodream/vector_state.json as plugin bookkeeping

Claude Code MEMORY.md Compatibility

AutoDream follows the same broad pattern as Claude Code's MEMORY.md, but per memory scope instead of assuming one global repository file.

• MEMORY.md is an index, not the memory itself.
• The real durable content lives in the sibling markdown files under autodream/memories/.
• Those durable files are synced into the _memory vector database so symbolic browsing and semantic recall stay aligned.

Settings

AutoDream is on by default. Tune its settings:

• min_hours
• min_sessions
• line_limit
• consolidate_every_n_dreams
