episodic-memory-algorithms

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…

When to choose each

always-on-agent-safety — Safety, privacy, cost management, and frank advice for building always-on AI agents with episodic memory. Covers data hygiene, privacy risk surfaces, runaway cost prevention, scope creep, psychological effects of…

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.
