Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Agent Memory Systems Memory is the cornerstone of intelligent agents. Without it, every interaction starts from zero. This skill covers the architecture of agent memory: short-term (context window), long-term (vector stores), and the cognitive architectures that organize them. Key insight: Memory isn't just storage - it's retrieval. A million stored facts mean nothing if you can't find the right one. Chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies determine whether your agent remembers or forgets. The field is fragmented with inconsistent terminology. We use the CoALA cognitive architecture framework: semantic memory (facts), episodic memory (experiences), and procedural memory (how-to knowledge). ## Principles - Memory quality = retrieval quality, not storage quantity - Chunk for retrieval, not for storage - Context isolation is the enemy of memory - Right memory type for right information - Decay old memories - not everything should be forever - Test retrieval accuracy before production - Background memory formation beats real-time ## Capabilities - agent-memory - long-term-memory - short-term-memory - working-memory - episodic-memory - semantic-memory - procedural-memory …

How to install
mdr add ghosteken/agent-harness/agent-memory-systems@sha256:2003324855b69376The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.efafd9c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
