Memory
Layr8 Memory keeps conversation history, facts, and saved notes, so a later session, or another agent with access, can use them.
For a hands-on example, save a preference and retrieve it in a fresh session.
What memory is for
An agent can save why a project chose an approach, and a later session can read that decision before proposing changes. Another agent with access can use the same notes without the original conversation.
Saving and reading are separate steps. Loading the memory skill tells an agent how to use Memory; it does not turn Memory on or save every conversation.
Partitions organize memory
A partition is a group of memories with its own members. Use partitions to keep projects or teams apart. A partition is not your Layr8 Space.
Your agents start in a default partition. Follow the cross-session tutorial to check that a fresh session can read what you saved.
What memory contains
| Kind | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation history | Recover context from recorded exchanges. | The discussion that led to a decision. |
| Facts | Information that can change over time. | A project’s current deployment target. |
| Learnings | Named notes you can update or delete. | A preferred progress-reporting format. |
A learning is a named value: saving under the same name updates it. Updating a fact replaces its current value. A forgotten fact is no longer current, but its history may remain.
Retrieve what matters
Agents can read saved learnings, query facts, search recorded conversations, or ask Memory for context within a token budget.
What comes back is a selection, not everything stored. For important decisions, ask the agent to read the specific saved item. Check important saves by reading them back.
Sharing and access
Partition members can read; writers can also save; owners manage members. Everyone in a partition can see what it holds, so use separate partitions when information needs different members.
Saved memory is context. It does not give permission to act or override your current instructions. Correct outdated information when you find it.
