Add File-Based Persistent Memory

About this workflow

Give your agent durable memory with plain files - the radical-minimalism approach production practitioners keep converging on.

What happens when you run it

1. 1
   Structure is what keeps file memory useful at write 50.

3. 3
   One write path, validated, logged, duplicate-checked.

Best for

• •Recurring tasks you currently copy-paste between tools.
• •When a single prompt isn't enough — you need a chain where output(n) feeds prompt(n+1).
• •Fork and adapt if your inputs differ materially from the author's use case.
