Invariants · Skill · Issues An agent that closes its session forgets everything it learned in it. agent-memory is the runtime that fixes that, for any agent — not only coding ones. Markdown files in one store are the single source of truth, the SQLite index beside them is a cache you can delete at any time, and Claude Code, Codex CLI, Muse Code, and anything else that can run a shell command share that store. Retrieval is local and ranked, and it answers with paths rather than pasted text — the agent opens each hit only as deep as the task needs. Writes do not wait for the agent to remember to make them: they fire at conversation boundaries. A sleep-time pass then consolidates and forgets by value, on its own clock.
