Agent communication scenario?
├── Single agent calling tools?
│ ├── Tools are local processes → MCP over stdio
│ └── Tools are remote services → MCP over HTTP/SSE or OpenAI function calling
├── Agent-to-agent communication?
│ ├── Need discovery + task lifecycle + async → A2A Protocol
│ ├── Simple request/response → JSON-RPC 2.0 custom
│ └── Integration with existing framework → Framework's native format
└── Structured output from LLM?
├── Machine-readable payload (APIs, schemas) →…What type of facts does your agent need to remember?
│
├─ User identity + preferences ONLY
│ └─ Use: Core memory (always in context) + simple vector store
│ Algorithm: Flat search or small HNSW (<10K entries)
│ Reasoning: Static facts don't need complex temporal tracking
│
├─ Past conversations + events
│ ├─ Need fact change tracking over time?
│ │ ├─ YES → Bi-temporal knowledge graph (Zep/Graphiti approach)
│ │ │ Algorithm: Triple store with (validFrom, ingestedAt) timestamps…agent-interchange-formats — Data structures and serialization formats for agent-to-agent communication.

episodic-memory-algorithms — Data structures and algorithms for AI agent episodic memory. Covers vector stores (HNSW, IVF, PQ), temporal indexing, knowledge graphs with triple stores, hierarchical summarization, forgetting curves,…
Both are free to install. If you're unsure, install both — Claude Code skills are isolated by filename and only collide if their trigger phrases overlap (rare). The richest signal is the SKILL.md body itself — open both skill pages and read the first paragraph of each.
