Security Design Principles

melchizedek is designed with these security properties:

  • Offline by default: no network calls except lazy model downloads on first use
  • No telemetry: zero tracking, zero analytics
  • Private content redaction: <private> tags are replaced with [REDACTED]
  • Read-only source: never writes to ~/.claude/projects/ (transcript source)
  • Local storage only: all data in ~/.melchizedek/memory.db (single SQLite file)
  • Graceful degradation: each layer (embeddings, reranker) is optional
