To set up hierarchical agent memory, initialize a deeply nested memory filesystem under the agent's memory root. This organizes 15-25 files across 2-3 levels under system/ and related root directories, ensuring persistent context across sessions.

The best way to organize agent memory is by creating a deeply nested structure with 15-25 files across 2-3 levels. Organize domains such as human, project, and persona under system/ to ensure consistent onboarding and evolving memory needs.

Yes, every agent memory file requires YAML frontmatter containing a description and a limit. This convention ensures future memory updates remain consistent across the deeply nested filesystem structure.

Yes, you can reorganize memory for existing agents. The memory setup guide applies to both new and existing agents, orchestrating a deeply nested structure of 15-25 files to support evolving memory needs.

You should initialize a nested memory filesystem when running /init, when asked to set up agent memory, or when needing guidance on creating effective memory files. It enables persistent context across sessions.

You should create directories under system/ and related root directories. Organize 15-25 files into 2-3 levels within this structure, establishing domains like human, project, and persona for comprehensive memory organization.
