Comment on Open-source memory for coding agents, synced over SSH

Comments

I've settled on writing these bespoke per project/client, typically as a harness plugin in its own repo. Not infrequently that maps 1:1 with a single target repo. There's something to be said for having the tools and memories you need and _not_ having those you don't, and it simplifies the full mental model not to have to handle moving from machine to machine and keeping all that in sync.

Go-to stack for this in my case is to start off with a MEMORY.md, and then keep a long-running agent session going to observe human-operated tmux sessions, surface/respond to occurrences where there's something significant learned (typically the human operator redirecting away from an agent/LLM decision), then start having it integrate into and read out of DuckDB. The latter becomes dense, easily searchable data for agent skills and commands and, yes, memory and such.
