# CortexDB > Long-term memory for AI agents. Store experiences, recall them later, across sessions. If you are a coding agent setting CortexDB up, start here: - Machine-readable manifest: https://cortexdb.ai/agent/manifest.json - Agent Skill (procedure): https://cortexdb.ai/agent/SKILL.md - Human entry point: https://cortexdb.ai/agent Read the manifest BEFORE choosing a package, version, endpoint, recall view or deletion mode. It is generated from the release snapshot; this file is not a substitute for it. ## Do not guess these - The npm package is `cortexdbai`. An unrelated package named `cortexdb` exists on npm and is not ours. - Write with `?wait=indexed` before recalling, or a read-back miss is a race rather than a real miss. - `raw` and `granular` recall work anonymously; `holistic`/`structured` need the `scope.read.holistic` capability and return 403 without it. That 403 is a documented boundary, not an outage. - Deleting: a selector with `confirm_all:false`, OR an empty selector with `confirm_all:true`. Sending both is refused (`AMBIGUOUS_SELECTOR_CONFIRM_ALL`). ## Docs - Quickstart: https://cortexdb.ai/docs/quickstart - CLI (the reference actuator): https://cortexdb.ai/docs/sdks/cli - API reference: https://cortexdb.ai/docs/api-reference/experience - OpenAPI: https://cortexdb.ai/docs/api-reference/rest-api Generated 2026-08-22T08:43:31+00:00 from release manifest sha256:cbb6e8faa43ec6d4cd63c6ef77dfb82160b6bd8511856c2de33899e683a565b9.
