# IdentityDB
IdentityDB is a TypeScript package for building structured AI memory on top of relational databases.
## What it is
IdentityDB stores memory as a graph made of:
- **Topics** — named nodes such as `TypeScript`, `programming language`, `2025`, or `I`
- **Facts** — statements that connect multiple topics
- **Fact-topic links** — the relationships that turn one fact into a bridge between many topics
A single fact like `I have worked with TypeScript since 2025.` can connect the topics `I`, `TypeScript`, and `2025` at the same time.
## Current foundation capabilities
- SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB connection adapters
- Automatic schema initialization for `topics`, `facts`, and `fact_topics`
- High-level APIs for adding topics and facts
- Query APIs for listing topics, loading topic-scoped facts, and finding connected facts/topics
- Pluggable fact extraction so callers can use a small LLM or a deterministic extractor
## Install
```bash
bun install
```
## Quick start
```ts
import { IdentityDB, NaiveExtractor } from 'identitydb';
const db = await IdentityDB.connect({
client: 'sqlite',
filename: ':memory:',
});
await db.initialize();
await db.ingestStatement('I have worked with TypeScript since 2025.', {
extractor: new NaiveExtractor(),
});
await db.addFact({
statement: 'TypeScript is a programming language.',
topics: [
{
name: 'TypeScript',
category: 'entity',
granularity: 'concrete',
},
{
name: 'programming language',
category: 'concept',
granularity: 'abstract',
},
],
});
const topic = await db.getTopicByName('TypeScript', { includeFacts: true });
const connected = await db.findConnectedTopics('TypeScript');
console.log(topic?.facts.map((fact) => fact.statement));
console.log(connected.map((entry) => [entry.name, entry.sharedFactCount]));
await db.close();
```
## Development
```bash
bun run test
bun run check
bun run build
```
## Current status
This repository is in active foundation development.
See `docs/plans/2026-05-11-identitydb-foundation.md` for the current implementation plan.
