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.

Formatting rules

Format each entry as:

[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

Type	Use for
DECISION	Architecture choices, tool selections, approach decisions
FEEDBACK	User corrections, preferences, "do this / don't do that"
CONFIG	Server settings, env vars, ports, credentials (NO actual secrets)
PROJECT	Project status, goals, deadlines, stakeholders
PERSON	People, roles, contact preferences, working styles
REFERENCE	URLs, docs, external resources, where to find things
INSIGHT	Debugging lessons, performance findings, non-obvious learnings

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
