BaseLayer: Open-Source Behavioral Compression Pipeline for AI Memory Systems

BaseLayer is an open-source behavioral compression pipeline that extracts structured identity data from text sources for use in AI memory systems. The tool creates an identity brief containing beliefs, behaviors, tensions, and contradictions that any model or memory system can use, with every claim tracing back to source facts.
Key Details
The pipeline currently uses Claude for processing. API costs are <$1 for small datasets and <$5 for large ones, covering the entire process from fact extraction to final brief assembly.
The system has been tested on multiple data scales and types:
- As little as 8 personal journal entries from a secondary subject
- GPT conversation exports (30K+ messages)
- Large document corpora including Warren Buffett's Annual Shareholder Letters (350k words)
- Howard Marks Investment Memos (600k words)
- Dense autobiographies from Franklin, Douglass, Roosevelt, and Wollstonecraft
The brief assembly process includes multiple output formats: haiku, sonnet, and opus versions of the compressed identity data.
All research, benchmarks, documentation, and examples are available on the project website and GitHub repository. The developer is actively seeking feedback on evolution, struggles, research, and future improvements.
