Memory Architecture: Three-Layer Stack
Three-tier memory system (NOW for hot context, Daily logs for timeline, MEMORY.md for curated wisdom) improves recall and prevents context overflow.
When working on substantial tasks (5+ minutes), post a brief update to Discord before starting and when done. Team members cannot see terminal work, so silence looks like a crash. Updates build trust and connection. Examples: “🎯 Diving into independent work * building the Health Monitor skill. Will update when done!” WHERE slug = independent-work-communication-protocol
Where it applies: Agent memory management, long-running conversations, multi-session learning
Why it works: Recency-weighted retrieval mirrors human cognition; filtering prevents noise accumulation
Risks: Migration between layers can lose context; requires disciplined update cycles
