    Why would I need to install your tool for that? It could be an instruction living in AGENTS.md or with some sort of hook to remind the agent.

      You don't. When you see it saying it stored something "in memory" you can just ask it to document it in the product documentation somewhere, and in future please keep doing that. Of course the note to keep doing that needs to go somewhere, which is what "memory" is for.
