Add memory to the agent you already use A memory is a dataset, not a service Ask first, wire later Switching agents without losing the thread The cheapest way out of a long session Stop starting from zero Built on open source I work across several machines, and I switch coding agents depending on the task. Every one of them meets my projects as a stranger. The reasoning from “last Tuesday” disappears when the session ends. Each new agent, on each new host, starts from zero.
Earlier this year, Software Forgets: Agent Traces Are the Memory made the case that coding agents already produce the record we keep losing. As they search a codebase, try approaches, hit errors, read documentation, and change direction, they leave behind a dense account of not just what changed, but why.
