SKILL: Homoiconic Memory (org-skill-homoiconic-memory.org)

Overview

Because Lisp is homoiconic (code is data), memory objects can be read as executable forms. This skill provides the bridge between the org-object store and live Lisp evaluation — it can serialize an org-object into an s-expression, evaluate it to reconstruct state, and store the result back as a new object. This is the foundation of the agent's ability to save, restore, and inspect its own cognitive state at runtime.

Implementation

Memory Inspection

(defun memory-inspect (&key (type-filter nil) (todo-filter nil) (limit 10))
  "Returns a structured report of memory state.
Optional filters: TYPE-FILTER (keyword), TODO-FILTER (string).
Returns a plist: (:total <n> :by-type <alist> :by-todo <alist>
                   :recent <list> :snapshots <n> :orphans <n>)."
