Agent Memory Write Gate (Delivery)

Agent Memory Write Gate (Delivery)

1. 01

   Define the write scope before any agent is allowed to persist a note

   Name the three to five note types your delivery team actually needs (architectural decisions, client constraints, debugging discoveries, brand rules) and reject everything else at the gate. Knownbase organizes notes by project and tag, so an undefined taxonomy turns into an unsearchable pile within a month.

2. 02

   Require a provenance field on every write, not just a timestamp

   Each stored fact should carry who or what produced it, which client engagement it belongs to, and the source artifact. Jylus compiles Context Packs with proof IDs and explicit missing-evidence markers, which is the standard to hold your own writes to.

3. 03

   Route conflicting facts to a human reviewer instead of letting the agent overwrite

   When a new note contradicts an existing one, the agent flags it and stops. Jylus detects contradictions as a first-class output, and agencies that skip this step end up with two competing versions of a client's brand rule live in production.

4. 04

   Cap note length and force one claim per entry

   A 900-word brain dump is not retrievable. Split it into atomic claims so a retrieval pass can pull the two relevant lines rather than the whole document, which keeps token cost per agent call predictable on fixed-fee retainers.

5. 05

   Tag every write with an expiry or review date

   Client pricing, platform limits, and vendor capabilities change. OzBrain tracks freshness on its articles for exactly this reason; without a review date, a stale constraint from month one silently governs month nine.

6. 06

   Run a weekly retrieval test on five real client questions

   Ask the memory layer the questions your delivery team asked last week and check whether the correct note surfaces. A memory store that writes cleanly but retrieves poorly is worse than no store, because the team trusts it.

7. 07

   Log write volume per client and per agent

   Track how many notes each engagement generates. A client with near-zero writes usually means the agent is not being used on that account, and a client with runaway writes usually means the gate is not filtering.
