memory-systems
Design short-term, long-term, and graph-based memory architectures. Use when building agents that must persist across sessions, needing to maintain entity consistency across conversations, or implementing reasoning over accumulated knowledge.
When to Use This Skill
Design short-term, long-term, and graph-based memory architectures
Use this skill when working with design short-term, long-term, and graph-based memory architectures.
Memory System Design
Memory provides the persistence layer that allows agents to maintain continuity across sessions and reason over accumulated knowledge. Simple agents rely entirely on context for memory, losing all state when sessions end. Sophisticated agents implement layered memory architectures that balance immediate context needs with long-term knowledge retention. The evolution from vector stores to knowledge graphs to temporal knowledge graphs represents increasing investment in structured memory for improved retrieval and reasoning.
When to Use
Activate this skill when:
- Building agents that must persist across sessions
- Needing to maintain entity consistency across conversations
- Implementing reasoning over accumulated knowledge
- Designing systems that learn from past interactions
- Creating knowledge bases that grow over time
- Building temporal-aware systems that track state changes
Core Concepts
Memory exists on a spectrum from immediate context to permanent storage. At one extreme, working memory in the context window provides zero-latency access but vanishes when sessions end. At the other extreme, permanent storage persists indefinitely but requires r
