Agents don't need memory, they need documentation

    I never understood memory solutions for coding agents.

    You have the whole session history right there. One recall skill and some JSON parsing gets you grep over perfect memory. Why would you ever use more tools to spend more tokens to construct a imperfect memory next to your session history?

    I just don't get it.

      But that's one session. Isn't memory for… the next session?

        the code seems to fill this need, for me
