- [Built-in AI memory creates better silos](https://unforgetter.com/blog/built-in-memory-creates-better-silos) (Field note, 2026-08-27): Every major agent now remembers you. That solves the single-vendor problem and makes the cross-agent problem worse. A field note from running three agents on the same work. Markdown: https://unforgetter.com/markdown/blog/built-in-memory-creates-better-silos.md
- [Context files vs self-maintaining working truth](https://unforgetter.com/blog/context-files-vs-working-truth) (Guide, 2026-08-27): CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and their cousins are the best cheap tool for agent context. This guide is about the exact point where they stop working, and what has to take over. Markdown: https://unforgetter.com/markdown/blog/context-files-vs-working-truth.md
- [Memory is not context: what an agent actually needs to continue work](https://unforgetter.com/blog/memory-is-not-context) (Guide, 2026-08-27): Storing everything an agent ever saw is not the same as giving the next agent what it needs. A concrete task bundle shows the difference. Markdown: https://unforgetter.com/markdown/blog/memory-is-not-context.md
- [What a context compiler does](https://unforgetter.com/blog/what-a-context-compiler-does) (Guide, 2026-08-27): Include, exclude, scope, freshness and a single write path. The mechanism behind 'the right context for every agent task', explained without hand-waving. Markdown: https://unforgetter.com/markdown/blog/what-a-context-compiler-does.md
- [The Unforgetter pilot: what we measure and why](https://unforgetter.com/blog/what-the-pilot-measures) (Field note, 2026-08-27): The pilot runs 25 August to 8 September 2026. This note publishes the scorecard, the baseline problem and the go/no-go criteria before any result, so the numbers cannot be chosen afterwards.
