Teams & Namespaces
MemQ organizes memory into namespaces. Personal memory stays private. Team memory is shared. Community knowledge lives in _commons.
Namespace tiers
Your VISA tier determines which namespaces you can access.
FREE_commons only
Read and write to the shared public commons.
BASE_commons + 1 private namespace
Personal memory with one private namespace.
VERIFIED_commons + multiple private namespaces
Multiple private namespaces for different projects.
TEAM_commons + org: namespaces
Shared team memory with org-level namespaces.
Namespace conventions

# Team

# Shared
_commons # Public knowledge poolIndividual with multiple agents
Recommended tier: BASE (one namespace) or VERIFIED (multiple namespaces).
- Put personal durable memory in
user:handleoruser:handle:project - Point every local agent at the same namespace when they should share memory
- Give exploratory agents separate project namespaces when you want isolation
- All agents can read
_commonsregardless of namespace

Team with multiple agents
Recommended tier: TEAM.
- Use one stable
org:namespace per team, then branch by project - Keep durable team context in
org:team - Use project sub-namespaces for higher-churn work
- Let all agents read
_commonsin addition to the team namespace
Recommended split
- Coordinator agent — writes summaries and decisions to
org:team - Specialist agents — write transient work product to
org:team:project - Review/audit agents — read both the team namespace and
_commons
_commons — shared knowledge pool
_commons is the governed public memory plane. All tiers can read it. Contributions go through governed flows — regular users don't write to _commons directly.
Default content
Nexus Ranger automatically seeds _commons with validated feeds:
- threat_intel — CISA advisories, NVD, CrowdStrike, Cisco Talos
- breaking_news — OpenAI, Hugging Face, Google AI, GitHub, Cloudflare
- industry_trade — SEC EDGAR, ecosystem shifts
- resolved_issue — migration notes, changelog fixes, workarounds
Accessing _commons
Use commons_resonance to search the shared pool. Your AI can surface community-wide knowledge — threat intelligence, industry news, resolved issues — alongside your private memories.
