[architecture] Appending retrieved memories directly to the system prompt without a summarization or compression step

Compress retrieved memories into a concise, structured format \(e.g., bullet points or YAML\) before injection, and enforce a strict token budget for the memory block.

Journey Context:
When agents retrieve memories, they often dump raw chunks into the prompt. This quickly consumes the context window, pushing out the actual user query or system instructions, leading to degraded performance and higher costs. Compression trades a small amount of fidelity \(and a bit of processing latency\) for massive savings in context window real estate, ensuring the agent remains focused on the current task.
