you let your agent keep notes,
because the alternative was explaining yourself every morning
it stopped asking, and it started repeating things that had stopped being true
every guide on this covers what to save and where to put it,
private for one agent, shared for the team
not one of them covers how a fact leaves
the agent writes its own memory while it works,
so a guess it made on a tired tuesday gets stored in the same shape as something you told it,
and after that the two are indistinguishable
i counted mine this morning: forty files,
six of them about decisions we reversed months ago,
all forty read into every session since
you did not give it a memory
you gave it a record with no way to be corrected
