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…# ❌ These look like valid keys but aren't — use the correct alternatives

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.
