Three-Layer Memory

A Markdown memory structure that is auto-generated, Git-persisted, and carried across sessions.

Updated 2026-09-19

The thing long-form writing loses most easily is context. WorkGoa's three-layer Markdown memory keeps what matters firmly inside the project.

Structure

  • Auto-generated: during daily work the agent distills key facts into Markdown memory.
  • Git-persisted: memory is stored as files in the project, traceable and rollbackable by version.
  • Cross-session: no need to re-explain your book each session — the agent continues with memory in hand.

Why Markdown

Memory is human-readable, editable plain files, not a black-box database. You can inspect what it recorded and correct it by hand when needed.

Versus manuscript ledgers

Three-layer memory is about "this project and your preferences"; in-book settings, characters, and foreshadowing are managed by the consistency engine ledgers. The two have distinct roles.
