What Agent Memory does

A method for agents to persist critical state—facts, failures, conclusions—in a file that survives context compaction and session ends, with strategies for retrieval and preventing stale data.

Agent Memory is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Agent Memory comes from a repository tagged ai, claude, claude-skills and skills.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Agent Memory

Purpose

Give an agent state that outlives its context window. Anything the agent must not forget belongs in a file it can re-read — not in a conversation history that will be compacted away.

When to Use

A task that spans more turns than the context window holds.
Work that continues across sessions.
An agent that repeatedly rediscovers the same fact or repeats the same failed approach.
Accumulating knowledge about a codebase or a domain over time.

Capabilities

Deciding what deserves persistence.
File-based memory the agent reads and writes.
Structuring notes for retrieval rather than for narrative.
Staleness detection and pruning.

Inputs
