Description

This skill enables AI agents to utilize a local or distributed Datalog engine for fact storage, retrieval, and reasoning. It follows the "Database as a Value" philosophy, allowing for immutable state management and time-travel debugging.

Installation

To use this skill, ensure the core package is installed in your agent's runtime:

npm install @criticalinsight/aarondb-edge

Usage

1. Initialization

import { AaronDB } from '@criticalinsight/aarondb-edge';

// Initialize a new database instance
const db = new AaronDB();

2. Transacting Facts

Facts are stored as "datoms" (Entity, Attribute, Value).

await db.transact([
  { e: "agent/philosophy", a: "type", v: "RichHickey" },
  { e: "agent/philosophy", a: "principle", v: "Simplicity" }
]);

3. Querying

Use Datalog syntax with variable bindings.

const results = db.query({
  where: [
    ["?e", "type", "RichHickey"],
    ["?e", "principle", "?p"]
  ]
});

Architectural Patterns

• Database as a Value: Always treat the database state as an immutable value. Avoid manual state mutations outside of the transact flow.
• Shared Discovery Layer: Facts can be synchronized across agents using a shared D1/KV back-end when running in Cloudflare Worker mode. In library mode, the state is local-first but can be exported/imported as a unified fact log for cross-agent collaboration.
