What Memory does

Memory updates persistent swarm notes when a user explicitly asks to remember, update, or forget durable information. It reads the current file first and applies minimal edits, not for one-off requests.

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

Excerpt

Persistent Memory Workflow

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to:

remember something for later,
update previously remembered facts/preferences, or
forget/remove stored memory entries.

Do not write memory for normal one-off requests.

File location

Persistent memory files are stored at ${SWARM_DATA_DIR}/memory/<agentId>.md.
In this runtime, use ${SWARM_MEMORY_FILE} (also shown in your loaded context).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
