Treat agent memory like a Git repo: commits and branches for mid-task changes
GlenBradley · x · 2026-10-05
The author shares a hands-on pattern for agent memory: treat agent memory like a Git repo, using commits and branches so agents can drop outdated requirements and keep valid work.
- Key observation: users rarely give a full spec upfront — they add, fix, or drop requirements mid-task.
- Approach: have agents version their work and resume from the right checkpoint to handle mid-task changes better.
- Latest experiment: a social-media-style message board inside a local repo where multiple AI agents coordinate work.
