Updates
Capture the decisions made in conversations and reconcile conflicting edits.
Compare
A shared file is a good place to start.
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and project notes can carry useful context between agents. The next question is who keeps those files current, consistent and appropriately accessible.
Keep the simple setup when it works.
Several agents can read the same file. They can also help update it. If your conventions change slowly and you are comfortable maintaining the workflow, a file may be all you need.
What grows with the work.
History
Record what replaced an older decision, rather than simply accumulating both.
Access
Decide which client or project material each agent may reach and enforce it before retrieval.
A file, a workflow, or a service.
| Capability | Shared context files | Unforgetter |
|---|---|---|
| Readable text | Yes; can be versioned in Git. | Markdown source memory. |
| Used by several agents | Yes, when they read the same files. | A shared published memory over MCP. |
| Automatic updates | Possible with hooks, agents and a publishing workflow you maintain. | Scoped Cloud capture and maintenance run in an internal Codex pilot; new-user setup remains guided. |
| Current versus superseded | Possible if the file and update process record it. | Temporal status is part of the source record and retrieval workflow. |
| Access boundaries | Depend on filesystem permissions, sandboxing and your integration. | Authorised collection and data-class restrictions in the Cloud service. |
| Operating the workflow | You choose and maintain the components. | The service is being built to take on maintenance; alpha setup is guided. |
Keep repository instructions next to the code.
Build commands, tests and repository conventions belong in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Project status, changed decisions and open questions can live in the memory you share across tools. The two approaches can work together.
