Open Memory

How OpenAgents remembers within/across sessions — distinct from Open Brain.

When to Use

• Tune memory mode (hybrid / honcho / local)
• Debug "agent forgot X"
• Decide OpenAgents vs Open Brain storage

Structural overview

Store	Scope
~/.openagents/ memory files	Per profile session
sessions.db	Conversation FTS
Honcho plugin	External dialectic memory
Open Brain MCP	Cross-tool durable knowledge

Prerequisites

openagents setup
openagents honcho setup    # optional
openagents honcho mode hybrid

Procedure

1. If fact must survive across tools → open-brain ingest
2. If session-local preference → built-in memory tools
3. Profile isolation: openagents -p <name> separate homes
4. Never store whistleblower/credentials in memory files

Decision rules

Data type	Store
User preference	OpenAgents memory
Company policy	Open Brain (validated)
Audit trail	open-rec
Secrets	Env only — never memory

Pitfalls

• Duplicating Brain content in local memory
• Cross-profile leakage without OPENAGENTS_HOME discipline
• PII in markdown memory files

Verification

• openagents honcho status matches config mode
• Profile -p uses separate sessions.db
• Sensitive domains use open-whistle boundaries
