Cross-session memory. Reads local memory state and injects it into the system prompt through hooks. Part of Unicity AOS.

astrid-capsule-memory

Cross-session memory for Astrid OS agents.

In the OS model, this capsule is the persistent swap file. It carries context across session boundaries so the agent remembers what happened last time.

How it works

Hooks into prompt_builder.v1.hook.before_build. On each prompt assembly cycle:

Reads .astrid/memory.md from the workspace via the VFS
Wraps the content in a # Memory section
Publishes an appendSystemContext hook response on the per-request response topic

If the file is missing or empty, the capsule is a no-op.

Size cap

Agent-written content can grow without limit (unlike human-authored AGENTS.md), so a 32KB hard cap prevents unbounded context window consumption. Content beyond the limit is truncated at a UTF-8 character boundary with a [Memory truncated] marker.

Read-only

This capsule handles the read/inject side only. The agent writes to .astrid/memory.md using existing filesystem tools (write_file, replace_in_file) from astrid-capsule-fs. No new tools needed.
