Memory Service

memory service provides runtime memory operations.

Responsibilities

• Status and Markdown scan search
• Search and read memory entries
• Store explicit memory records
• Flush conversation window into daily memory
• Inject memory service usage rules for the agent

Integration model

memory is an independent service and is not embedded into the local session execution core.

• The system prompt injects a small stable longterm memory pack from MEMORY.md plus rules for using the memory service
• Injected memory only uses stable Canon text, with dedupe, item limits, and truncation for prompt stability
• When the agent needs more memory, it should call memory.search, memory.get, and memory.store itself
• There is no automatic per-turn recall / capture inside the session executor

Use city memory when you want to inspect or manage memory directly.
