Evolving Memory System

ScienceClaw learns from every research session. Each completed analysis enriches a persistent memory that makes future research faster, more accurate, and less error-prone.

Memory Record Types

All records are stored in ~/.scienceclaw/memory/findings.jsonl (append-only, one JSON object per line).

Type 1: Finding (existing)

A verified scientific discovery with evidence.

{"type":"finding","date":"2026-03-18","gene":"THBS2","disease":"pancreatic cancer","finding":"THBS2 overexpressed in 17/33 TCGA cancer types (Wilcoxon p<0.001)","significance":"high","sources":["PMID:32273438"],"tags":["expression","pan-cancer"],"project":"thbs2-tumor-2026-03-10"}

Type 2: Ideation

Records whether a research direction proved viable or not. Prevents revisiting dead ends and reinforces promising paths.
