Report #77068
[architecture] The agent saves every single system step or trivial interaction to long-term memory, causing write amplification and a noisy, unusable database
Implement a reflection or importance scoring step before writing to long-term memory. Only persist memories that score above a certain importance threshold or represent a change in state.
Journey Context:
Agents using naive 'save everything' loops quickly fill the vector store with garbage \('Agent called tool X', 'Agent received output Y'\). This makes future retrieval noisy and expensive. By forcing the LLM to evaluate the importance or novelty of a piece of information before writing it \(e.g., scoring 1-10, only saving > 7\), the agent curates its own memory, prioritizing high-signal state changes over operational logs.
