Agent Memory

How memory works

The agent maintains memory files in .agex/memory/ with structured entries:

Memory types

  • decisions — architectural choices, tech stack decisions, design patterns chosen
  • patterns — recurring code patterns, naming conventions, file structure
  • context — project state, current sprint, team agreements
  • learnings — what worked, what didn't, debugging insights

Memory operations

  • Store: save a new memory entry with type, content, and timestamp
  • Recall: retrieve memories relevant to the current task
  • Update: modify existing memories when context changes
  • Prune: remove outdated or superseded memories

Best practices

  • Store the why, not just the what
  • Prune after major refactors
  • Tag memories with relevant file paths
  • Keep individual entries concise (< 200 words)
