deep-agents-memory

You add persistent memory to a Deep Agent by configuring a StoreBackend, which handles long-term persistence across sessions. Start with a StateBackend for ephemeral memory and extend it with StoreBackend for persistence.

The best way to route file operations to different storage backends is using a CompositeBackend. It routes memory and filesystem operations across multiple backends, enabling selective data persistence and path routing.

Filesystem access works with memory backends through FilesystemMiddleware, which handles common file operations like ls, read_file, write_file, edit_file, glob, and grep. These operations route through your configured backends.

Yes, you can use both ephemeral and persistent storage in the same agent. Instantiate a Deep Agent with a StateBackend for short-term thread memory and extend it with a StoreBackend or CompositeBackend for long-term persistence.

Yes, you need a Deep Agent runtime to use these memory and persistence backends. You also need backend configurations, including optional StoreBackend and routing, to support the Python and TypeScript examples described in the SKILL.md.
