agent-memory-discipline

Teaches when to recall from long-term memory before acting and when to save durable decisions, corrections and failures afterwards. Use when a memory tool or MCP memory server is connected but the agent is not using it consistently, when the user complains that the assistant forgets preferences, conventions or past decisions between sessions, or when setting up persistent memory for a project. Works with any memory backend: a folder of Markdown files, a local MCP server, or a managed service. Trigger with "remember this", "what did we decide", "recall", or "save this for next time".

# Agent memory discipline

## Overview

Connecting a memory tool does not make an agent use it: tools register, the session runs, and nothing gets recalled or saved. This skill supplies the missing part, standing rules for when to read memory and when to write it.

The problem it solves is specific. An agent with memory available still repeats settled questions, reverts corrected habits, and loses decisions between sessions, because nothing tells it when recall and save are due. The rules below make both moments explicit.

## Prerequisites

- A memory tool the agent can call. Any backend works, and the rules are identical for each:
  - **Files.** A `memory/` folder of Markdown notes, one fact per file. No dependencies, fully greppable, versionable in git.
  - **A local MCP memory server.** Keeps everything on the local machine; several open-source options exist.
  - **A hosted memory service over MCP.** Adds portability across tools and machines at the cost of the data living elsewhere.
