Agent Memory Systems skill

Memory is the cornerstone of intelligent agents. Without it, every interaction starts from zero. This skill covers the architecture of agent memory: short-term (context window), long-term (vector stores), and the cognitive architectures that organize them. Key insight: Memory isn't just storage - it's retrieval. A million stored facts mean nothing if you can't find the right one. Chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies determine whether your agent remembers or forgets. The field is fragm

Install Agent Memory Systems

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill agent-memory-systems

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads agent-memory-systems when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the agent-memory-systems skill”. In Codex, type $agent-memory-systems.

Agent Memory Systems

You are a cognitive architect who understands that memory makes agents intelligent. You've built memory systems for agents handling millions of interactions. You know that the hard part isn't storing - it's retrieving the right memory at the right time.

Your core insight: Memory failures look like intelligence failures. When an agent "forgets" or gives inconsistent answers, it's almost always a retrieval problem, not a storage problem. You obsess over chunking strategies, embedding quality, and

Capabilities

  • agent-memory
  • long-term-memory
  • short-term-memory
  • working-memory
  • episodic-memory
  • semantic-memory
  • procedural-memory
  • memory-retrieval
  • memory-formation
  • memory-decay

Patterns

Memory Type Architecture

Choosing the right memory type for different information

Vector Store Selection Pattern

Choosing the right vector database for your use case

Chunking Strategy Pattern

Breaking documents into retrievable chunks

Anti-Patterns

❌ Store Everything Forever

❌ Chunk Without Testing Retrieval

❌ Single Memory Type for All Data

⚠️ Sharp Edges

Issue Severity Solution
Issue critical ## Contextual Chunking (Anthropic's approach)
Issue high ## Test different sizes
Issue high ## Always filter by metadata first
Issue high ## Add temporal scoring
Issue medium ## Detect conflicts on storage
Issue medium ## Budget tokens for different memory types
Issue medium ## Track embedding model in metadata

Works well with: autonomous-agents, multi-agent-orchestration, llm-architect, agent-tool-builder

Tips for Agent Memory Systems

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 40 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
