He proposes 'memoryfield': a zip containing markdown pages with optional YAML frontmatter and an optional SQLite vector index (using nomic-embed-text-v1.5), critiquing three common approaches—vendor-locked harness memory, over-engineered systems needing pgvector + Neo4j + a separate LLM, and graph-based 'distilled facts' that strip context. Why: If you're building AI agents, this gives you a concrete, dead-simple alternative to complex memory stacks: ship markdown files in a zip with an optional SQLite vector index, and let the model read prose in context rather than querying a graph database or paying a platform vendor for memory extraction. Evaluate whether your current memory pipeline can be replaced with a folder of markdown files before investing further in pgvector or Neo4j setups. ai-agents agent-memory file-format sqlite markdown rag
