Agent Memory Should Be Compiled at Recall, Not Replayed From Storage

What MemHarness teaches us about reconstruction, negative transfer, source state, and compiling production agent memory against current evidence, policy, and authority.

Agent Memory Is a Systems Workload: What SelfMem Changes—and What It Does Not

SelfMem improves long-horizon recall by letting an agent optimize its memory strategy. New systems and security research shows the production contract must also cover cost, freshness, provenance, and poisoning.

AI Agent Memory Is Broken: Designing Multi-Layer Memory for Production AI Agents

A production guide to AI agent memory architecture: designing long-term memory for AI agents across working, episodic, semantic, procedural, and organizational layers. Why RAG is not memory, why vector databases are not memory, and how governed, situation-aware memory prevents memory poisoning in enterprise AI agents.

Give Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex Persistent, Auditable Memory

Coding agents are brilliant and amnesiac. SecondBrain's open-source Memory API gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and ChatGPT shared, local-first memory over HTTP and MCP — where every answer carries a citation back to the source chunk.

Context Graphs: Decision Lineage as a System of Record

How hash-chained DecisionRecords turn execution-time context into a queryable lineage graph for why an agent acted.
