[architecture] Designing an agent with a sophisticated memory retrieval system but no automated write-back mechanism

Make memory writes an implicit, mandatory step in the agent post-action loop, or explicitly prompt the agent to evaluate if the current interaction warrants a memory save after every tool call or response.

Journey Context:
It is common to build a RAG pipeline for reading memory but leave memory writing as a manual tool the LLM must choose to call. Because LLMs are stateless, they often fail to call the save tool, resulting in an agent that never learns. The architecture must be memory-first: just as a database auto-commits a transaction, the agent loop should automatically evaluate and persist state changes \(learned facts, user preferences\) without relying entirely on the LLMs discretion.
