Memory Lifecycle

byandrewagrahamhodges · ai-agents

Systematic memory management for long-running AI agents. Implements a five-tier lifecycle — heartbeat micro-attention, nightly consolidation, weekly reflection, monthly archiving, and yearly wisdom distillation. Use when setting up a new agent's memory system, improving an existing agent's memory quality, or when the agent's MEMORY.md is growing too large and context quality is degrading. Triggers on "set up memory", "memory management", "improve memory", "memory lifecycle", "nightly consolidation", "sleep cycle", "memory housekeeping".
