SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GAIA agents rely on persistent memory sidecars to track decisions, context, and budgets; this skill provides canonical read/write operations to manage those sidecars reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read/write over per-agent sidecars (decision-log.md, conversation-context.md, optional ground-truth.md) with ADR-016 formatting
  • Session load/save, context summarization, stale detection, deduplication, and budget monitoring
  • Cross-agent references are supported via a companion cross-agent skill gaia-memory-management-cross-agent

Quick Start

Invoke this skill to manage an agent’s memory sidecars by loading, saving, and summarizing decisions and context.

Frequently Asked Questions about gaia-memory-management

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage persistent memory sidecars for GAIA agents across sessions?

Manage GAIA agent memory sidecars through canonical read and write operations over per-agent files like decision-log.md and conversation-context.md, ensuring deterministic state tracking across sessions.

How does decision log formatting work for GAIA agent memory?

Decision log formatting for GAIA agents uses ADR-016 compliant entries to standardize how decisions are recorded in decision-log.md, enabling reliable retrieval and consistent context summarization across agent lifecycles.

What is the best way to enforce token budgets on agent conversation context?

Enforce token budgets on agent conversation context by applying budget monitoring with optional archival when token limits exceed defined thresholds, preventing context bloat and maintaining session performance.

How do I save and load agent session state with memory sidecars?

Save and load agent session state by invoking canonical memory operations to persist conversation context and decision logs into memory sidecars, enabling deterministic session restoration and stale context detection.

Does GAIA memory management support deduplication and stale context detection?

GAIA memory management supports deduplication and stale context detection by applying hygiene guarantees during context summarization, ensuring conversation-context.md remains concise and relevant across agent lifecycles.

Can I handle cross-agent memory references with this skill?

Cross-agent memory references require the companion gaia-memory-management-cross-agent skill, while this skill handles canonical read and write operations for individual per-agent memory sidecars.
