DomeAI
DomeAI explores persistent, searchable memory for AI agents, with explicit source context, access boundaries, and a reviewable record of what informed each action.
The current work focuses on the hard parts: retrieval quality, permission boundaries, stale context, and reliable handoffs between people and agents.
Record. Retrieve. Review.
Record
A proposed workflow records approved context with its source, owner, scope, timestamp, and retention rule.
Retrieve
Retrieval candidates would be ranked against a declared task while stale, conflicting, or unauthorized context remains visible.
Review
Retrieved context would support a prepared action only after source checks, permission checks, and the required human review.
Questions a shared-memory system must answer
Persistence Boundaries
Evaluate which context should survive a session, how long it should remain, and when it must be removed or refreshed.
Scoped Context
Study how workflow-specific context can remain separated while selected approved facts are shared.
Handoff Design
Define what context a person or agent needs for a handoff without exposing unrelated or unauthorized material.
Access Rules
Specify read, write, approval, and retention permissions for each context domain before any shared-memory use.
Compaction Evaluation
Measure what summaries omit or distort before using compaction to control retrieval size and cost.
Source Relationships
Test whether linked sources improve retrieval while preserving provenance, contradictions, and uncertainty.
Context must remain scoped and reviewable
This concept asks whether persistent context can improve reviewed handoffs across model and agent workflows without exposing unrelated data or reviving stale decisions.
The evaluation must separate useful retrieval from confident recall. Source provenance, permission boundaries, expiry rules, and human correction remain part of the system design.
Where persistent memory matters
Long-Running Work
A candidate use case for carrying approved decisions and source context across sessions without assuming recall is complete or current.
Cross-Session Context
A research question about when prior context improves a task and when stale context creates new errors.
Reviewed Handoffs
A candidate workflow for passing findings or prepared actions between specialized roles with explicit ownership.
Decision Records
An evaluation scope for recording the sources, retrieved context, proposed action, and approval attached to a consequential step.

Need context that stays reviewable?
Let's define the sources, permissions, retention rules, retrieval measures, and approval boundaries for a scoped evaluation.
