Research & Memory
Clew provides a built-in deep research system and cross-session semantic memory — both designed to work with local files, web sources, and a persistent knowledge store.
Research System
The research system lives in src/research/ and supports deep, source-grounded research across local files, wiki content, and memory:
- Citation extraction — Automatic extraction of citations from research sources
- Claim verification — Fact-check claims against multiple sources
- Dossier generation — Structured reports with source attribution
- Truth checking — Cross-reference claims for accuracy
- Source ranking — Prioritize authoritative sources
Research Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/research | Deep source-grounded research across local files, wiki, and memory |
Memory System
The memory system lives in src/memory/ and provides cross-session persistent knowledge storage with SQLite FTS5 search:
- SQLite FTS5 search — Find relevant memories using FTS5 similarity
- Cross-lingual — Search across languages using FTS5 indexing
- Memory age tracking — Automatically prune old memories
- Auto-memory capture — Automatically save important information
- Token-aware chunking - 3000-token chunks with word-boundary splitting
- Secret redaction - Strips API keys and tokens before indexing
