State of Memory in Agent Harness (12 minute read)
A survey of memory implementations across major AI agent harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, etc.) reveals common boundary failures including bounded local storage, keyword retrieval, harness scoping, weak staleness handling, and 57-71% cross-user contamination rates, highlighting unsolved problems in agent memory infrastructure.
Agent Memory Atlas - what should an agent remember?
Claude investigated 61 repos of agent memory systems (including OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi) to analyze how their memory works, aiming to help developers build their own implementations.

agentmemory is an open-source persistent memory layer for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, etc.) that uses knowledge graphs, confidence scoring, and hybrid search to give agents long-term memory across sessions via MCP, hooks, or REST API. Built on the iii engine, it requires no external databases and exposes 51 MCP tools.

This article explains how memory works in Codex CLI, OpenAI's open-source coding agent. It describes the memory architecture based on markdown files, the write path with phased extraction and consolidation, and the read path using keyword search, all designed for predictability and low retrieval cost.
