TL;DR: Everyone's building memory plugins for AI coding agents. I'm not sure that stale, past memory of tasks executed is the right way forward for this application. Intelligence has metacognition, the ability to think about how you're thinking. Source (or read on): github.com/houtini-ai/metacog So, I built a nervous system instead.
