Report #73589

[agent\_craft] Agent saves every single interaction to long-term memory, flooding the retriever with low-signal entries that degrade future retrieval

Implement a reflection or scoring step before writing to long-term memory. Only persist insights, corrected errors, or high-level summaries. Discard routine interactions, failed attempts, and raw data.

Journey Context:
A common mistake in agent design is to treat the memory store as a dump for the entire conversation log. When the agent later queries this memory, the retriever surfaces mundane statements or failed paths, which misleads the agent. Memory must be curated. The cost of the reflection step \(an LLM call to evaluate 'is this worth remembering?'\) is paid back by higher retrieval precision in future turns.
