Store decisions with sources and dates

An original research assistant could retain an agreed topic, the selected source URLs, and unanswered questions. It should distinguish a user preference from an inferred guess, and keep timestamps on information that may become outdated.

Preserve a path back to the underlying evidence

Summaries can omit an important qualification. Keep a way to recover the underlying source or task history before the agent relies on a remembered claim.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Provide correction and deletion paths.
