Initialize agent memory by defining core memory blocks—persona, project, human—and optional blocks like context and ticket. Each block stores labeled data with descriptions and values, enabling the agent to persist context and learning across sessions without loss.

Memory blocks are structured containers that categorize agent knowledge into core blocks (persona, project, human) and optional blocks (ticket, context, decisions). Each follows a schema with label, description, and value to maintain organized, retrievable information for long-term agent behavior.

Reorganize memory when starting a fresh Letta Code session, shifting project scope, or noticing the agent isn't retaining relevant context. Restructuring ensures memory blocks align with current goals and enforce consistent schemas that guide reliable agent learning.

Yes. Document coding conventions, workflows, and recurrence rules as memory content to guide agent behavior persistently. These structured preferences, stored alongside core memory blocks, help the agent apply consistent patterns across sessions.

Without initialization, the agent lacks persistent context storage and forgets information between sessions. Initializing memory enforces a schema that preserves persona, project context, and learned conventions, enabling reliable cross-session continuity.
