The thought behind my aichat tool was to directly leverage the session log files and avoid creating any special memory artifacts. I do create a rust/tantivy index for the fast full text search.

The aichat approach does require intentionally asking the agent to find specific earlier work: it doesn’t automatically have “awareness” of prior work. I think of this as the “unknown unknowns” problem. This is where creating explicit memory artifacts can be useful since we can pre-inject recent work-summaries into context. So I’m thinking about a lightweight hook based system to automatically create memory artifacts or work-logs of some sort.
