Minimal Cross-Session Memory for Agents: progress.md With 3 Lines
sujingshen · x · 2026-07-03
The author offers a minimalist implementation requiring no complex harness: create a progress.md in the project root. For every completed task, the Agent appends three lines—what it did, which files changed, and the next task. When launching a new session, this file is the very first thing the Agent reads. "Three lines, that's enough"—a reproducible, ultra-low-cost solution to cross-session memory.
