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.

Applied Compute introduces ACL-Wiki, a continual learning memory system built on their Context Engine that logs coding agent interactions from Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to build an improving Contextbase, roughly doubling the Critical Memory Rate over two weeks. The system uses a Remember-Refine-Retrieve pipeline exposed via MCP server to give coding agents institutional memory that improves with use.
