Memory Systems
/memory
Stores and recalls contextual state across turns, sessions, and tasks.
Strata: L2
Axes: Knowledge
Status: seed
Explainer
Memory systems give agents the ability to persist and retrieve state beyond a single context window. A multi-tiered architecture typically includes working memory for active tasks, episodic memory for session history, and semantic memory for long-term knowledge. Without memory, agents suffer from amnesia — forcing users to repeatedly explain context and endure the same mistakes.
Anti-Patterns
- Deploying stateless agents that suffer from amnesia forces users to repeatedly explain their context and endure the same mistakes in every new session.
Mitigations
- Establish a multi-tiered memory architecture consisting of working memory for active tasks, episodic memory for session history, and semantic memory for long-term knowledge.
