The system checks candidate memories against a live database before saving them, using a separate after-task curator with read-only environment access. In a 40-question SQLite schedule with schema drift after question 20, probing raised pass rate from 70% to 73% versus memory-only curation and reduced task-agent queries from 5.6 to 4.7 per question; probe access and curator instructions changed together.
Key insights
- Persistent memory is also an evidence-validation problem: useful records must be checked for transferability, scope, preconditions, and current validity rather than merely summarized from past trajectories.
- Read-only probing is particularly valuable around environmental drift, such as database schema migrations, but it also helps validate file locations, workbook mappings, tool conventions, and reusable procedures in stable environments.
- The best memories are actionable and scoped procedures, not isolated corrections or instance-specific answers; probing allows the curator to turn observations into executable guidance for later agents.
