Two changes to memwalk/ingest.py:
1. Ingest prompt now asks the model for a brief theme + standout
projects summary instead of "Reply noted". The "X → noted"
pattern was training the model in-context to reply "noted" to
every follow-up regardless of question.
2. query() wraps the user question in a short framing prefix
("Drawing on the work activity I shared with you earlier,
please answer this clearly and concretely: ...") which is
enough to break the noted pattern even on pre-existing state
files, so existing users don't need to rebuild to benefit.
Verified on the maintainer's state: vague greetings still
default to noted (degenerate case, CLI is for questions),
but real questions like "What did I work on this past month?"
and "What features did I ship in Randify.pro?" now produce
detailed accurate responses. Standup output now includes
real blockers extracted from commit messages.

memwalk
Walk through your work memory.
A local-first CLI that watches your git activity (and optionally your shell history) and feeds it into a Mamba-based LLM via persistent state. You can then ask in plain English what you were doing last week, why you started that branch, or generate a standup from yesterday's commits — without your data ever leaving the machine.
Built on memba for state persistence and NVIDIA Nemotron-3-Nano-4B (or any other GGUF SSM/hybrid model) for inference.
Status
v0.1 — alpha. Works end-to-end on Linux for the maintainer; APIs and on-disk format may change.
Install
# Until memba is on PyPI, install both editable from local clones:
pip install -e /path/to/Memba
pip install -e /path/to/memwalk
Make sure you have a GGUF Mamba-2 or hybrid model. Recommended:
hf download nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-4B-GGUF \
NVIDIA-Nemotron3-Nano-4B-Q4_K_M.gguf \
--local-dir ~/.memwalk/models
Quickstart
memwalk init # interactive setup
memwalk update # ingest last 30 days of git+bash
memwalk standup # auto-generate daily standup
memwalk ask "What was I working on last week?"
memwalk status
What it actually does
memwalk update walks your configured git repos and (optionally) your bash
history, formats new events into a readable activity block, and feeds that
into the SSM model. The model's hidden state — a fixed ~85 MB blob — is
saved to ~/.memwalk/current.memb via memba.
memwalk ask and memwalk standup load that state and query it. The model
recalls themes, projects, and trajectory across processes and reboots.
