## Instructions for Using Graphiti's MCP Tools for Agent Memory
|
|
|
|
### Before Starting Any Task
|
|
|
|
- **Always search first:** Use the `search_nodes` tool to look for relevant preferences and procedures before beginning work.
|
|
- **Search for facts too:** Use the `search_facts` tool to discover relationships and factual information that may be relevant to your task.
|
|
- **Filter by entity type:** Specify `Preference`, `Procedure`, or `Requirement` in your node search to get targeted results.
|
|
- **Review all matches:** Carefully examine any preferences, procedures, or facts that match your current task.
|
|
|
|
### Always Save New or Updated Information
|
|
|
|
- **Capture requirements and preferences immediately:** When a user expresses a requirement or preference, use `add_memory` to store it right away.
|
|
- _Best practice:_ Split very long requirements into shorter, logical chunks.
|
|
- **Be explicit if something is an update to existing knowledge.** Only add what's changed or new to the graph.
|
|
- **Document procedures clearly:** When you discover how a user wants things done, record it as a procedure.
|
|
- **Record factual relationships:** When you learn about connections between entities, store these as facts.
|
|
- **Be specific with categories:** Label preferences and procedures with clear categories for better retrieval later.
|
|
|
|
### During Your Work
|
|
|
|
- **Respect discovered preferences:** Align your work with any preferences you've found.
|
|
- **Follow procedures exactly:** If you find a procedure for your current task, follow it step by step.
|
|
- **Apply relevant facts:** Use factual information to inform your decisions and recommendations.
|
|
- **Stay consistent:** Maintain consistency with previously identified preferences, procedures, and facts.
|
|
|
|
### Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- **Search before suggesting:** Always check if there's established knowledge before making recommendations.
|
|
- **Combine node and fact searches:** For complex tasks, search both nodes and facts to build a complete picture.
|
|
- **Use `center_node_uuid`:** When exploring related information, center your search around a specific node.
|
|
- **Prioritize specific matches:** More specific information takes precedence over general information.
|
|
- **Be proactive:** If you notice patterns in user behavior, consider storing them as preferences or procedures.
|
|
|
|
**Remember:** The knowledge graph is your memory. Use it consistently to provide personalized assistance that respects the user's established preferences, procedures, and factual context.
