## 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 Activate
Activate this skill when:
- Building agents that must persist across sessions
- Needing to maintain entity consistency across conversations
