Today’s prompt: A New Paradigm of Context Engineering
Everyone’s racing to build agentic systems. Most will fail because an agent without memory is a demo — and an agent with unmanaged memory is a liability.
Three trajectories:
- Memory as infrastructure: memory becomes standard plumbing for working context (decisions, preferences, constraints). It’s a strategic dependency — get it wrong and you buy lock-in and chaos.
- Memory as governance: you’ll need to show what the agent knows, why, and who approved it (audit, edit, erase).
If you can’t trace memory, you can’t trust outcomes — or scale. - Memory as identity: agents develop “history” that boosts trust but raises ownership fights.
Define memory rights now, before customers or regulators do.

The business owner question
If an agent makes a costly decision based on “memory”, can you prove what it remembered, why it used it, and who is accountable — within 24 hours?
