Memory

Agent memory going stale: the setup that kept it sharp for six months

What it does

Only the facts needed in every chat stay in memory; everything else goes to a vault or a skill. A nightly job tidies the memory and skills, and a model-free script takes the backups.

Why it is worth it

Memory stays sharp when only the essentials live in it, and backups that need no model can never fail for model reasons.
