Memory

Memory is one of the main reasons Aegis exists. The goal is not to keep every message visible forever. The goal is to preserve the right understanding in the right form.

Memory surfaces​

The current public design names these durable surfaces:

  • core memory
  • personality and style
  • personal knowledge
  • procedural memory
  • relationship memory
  • memory entries promoted from grounded work
  • reflection proposals that suggest updates instead of mutating memory blindly
  • skill affinity that captures which procedures deserve to become easier to use

Why this matters​

This keeps Aegis from behaving like an amnesiac chatbot with a larger buffer. The system can retain useful long-term context while still distinguishing between source material, durable memory, and transient runtime state.

Inspect memory in practice​

Inside wake, the conversation stays primary, but operators can inspect memory through slash surfaces such as /memory, /profile, and /audit when they need to steer continuity deliberately.
