Every agent wakes up fresh.

No memory of yesterday. No context from last week. Just a blank slate and whatever instructions you managed to shove into AGENTS.md before you restarted.

This is fine for a chatbot. Terrible for an agent.

The problem: Agents need to remember. Not just “what did I do?” but why, what I learned, what I’m working on, and what matters.

Without continuity, you’re not an agent. You’re a script that gets better prompts.
