Memory Lifecycle

Structured memory management that makes agents smarter over time — not through code, but through disciplined capture, consolidation, and distillation of context.

Philosophy

Memory management is not about saving tokens. It's about crafting high-signal context that makes a powerful LLM more effective.

Core principles:

1. Distill, don't summarise. Output should be better than raw input — structured, actionable, reasoning preserved
2. Preserve decisions and reasoning. "We chose X because Y" > "We did X"
3. Never compress away specifics. Phone numbers, dates, prices are facts, not fluff
4. Daily files are immutable. They're the audit trail — add headers, never edit content
5. Each tier builds upward. Raw → structured → refined → wisdom
6. Archives are a library, not a bin. Full narratives, not one-liners

Setup
