AIFIRST Agent Memory as a File Format
The brief
Cal Paterson proposes memoryfields, a portable agent memory format built on Markdown files with optional YAML frontmatter and SQLite vector indexing.
Key points
- Retrieval uses semantic search rather than knowledge graph traversal, prioritizing simplicity and portability over complex pipelines.
- The format is designed to be readable by humans and tools alike without requiring a special runtime.
