Skill: vladchatware/notion-agent-memory (version 1.0.1)

--- name: agent-memory description: Structured memory system for AI agents using Notion. Use when setting up agent memory, discussing memory persistence, or helping agents remember context across sessions. Includes ACT framework databases, MEMORY.md templates, and the Continuity Cycle pattern. --- # Agent Memory Kit Persistent memory that works for humans OR AI agents. Same files, same format. ## The Problem Every session starts fresh. No memory of yesterday. No context. You (or your agent) keeps re-learning the same things. ## The Solution Two templates that create continuity: 1. **MEMORY.md** — Persistent context (patterns, projects, lessons) 2. **AGENTS.md** — Operating instructions (how to work in this space) Delivered via Notion — duplicate to your workspace and start using immediately. Works for humans tracking growth OR agents maintaining memory. ## Quick Start (Files-Only Version) This skill works WITHOUT Notion. Just use the files: ### Step 1: Create Your Core Files Create these in your workspace root: ``` /workspace/ ├── MEMORY.md # From assets/MEMORY-TEMPLATE-v2.md ├── IDENTITY.md # From assets/IDENTITY-TEMPLATE.md ├── SOUL.md # From assets/SOUL-TEMPLATE.md ├── USER.md # From assets/USER-TEMPLATE.md ├── HEARTBEAT.md # From assets/HEARTBEAT-TEMPLATE.md └── memory/ └── YYYY-MM-DD.md # Daily logs ``` ### Step 2: Session Start Ritual At the start of EVERY session: 1. Read `MEMORY.md` (long-term context) 2. Read `IDENTITY.md` (who you are) 3. Read today's and yesterday's daily logs 4. Check `HEARTBEAT.md` for scheduled tasks ### Step 3: Session End Ritual Before stopping: 1. Update today's daily log with what you did 2. If something significant changed → update MEMORY.md 3. Add a RESUME block if work was interrupted 4. Check `HEARTBEAT.md` for any scheduled follow-ups ### Step 4: Optional Notion Integration Want structured databases? See `references/notion-integration.md` for API setup. --- ## Quick Start (Notion Version) 1. **Get the templates** at [shop.vlad.chat](https://shop.vlad.chat) 2. **Duplicate** the Notion template to your workspace 3. **For agents:** Set up Notion API access (instructions included) 4. **Start every session** by reading MEMORY.md 5. **Document as you go** — the Continuity Cycle keeps you on track ### Treat Notion Like Obsidian Notion is NOT a flat database. Think of it as a **knowledge graph** — like Obsidian with a GUI: - **Pages link to pages** — Use `[[page-name]]` style relationships - **Bidirectional context** — Each entry knows what it relates to - **Database = queries into the graph** — Views, not containers - **Daily logs are a timeline** — Not separate silos, but a flowing narrative The ACT databases (Hidden Narratives, Limitless, Ideas Pipeline) are not separate boxes — they're lenses into the same memory graph. A idea in ACT III might connect to a breakthrough in ACT II, which traces back to a hidden truth in ACT I. **Mental model:** You're building a second brain, not filling spreadsheets. ## The Memory Stack | Layer | File | Purpose | |-------|------|---------| | **Daily** | `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` | Raw events, decisions, notes | | **Long-term** | `MEMORY.md` | Curated patterns, lessons, active projects | | **Structured** | ACT Scrolls (optional) | Deep introspection frameworks | ## The Continuity Cycle ``` DO WORK → DOCUMENT → UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS → NEXT SESSION STARTS SMARTER ``` **Two Steps Forward:** Before finishing anything, ask: "Could I pick this up tomorrow with zero context?" ## Works for Both **For humans:** Track your growth, patterns, lessons learned. Your future self thanks you. **For agents:** Maintain context across sessions. Stop re-learning every time. **Same format, same files.** The methodology works regardless of who's using it. ## Deeper Frameworks (Optional) For structured introspection, the ACT Scrolls provide proven frameworks: | Scroll | Purpose | Best for | |--------|---------|----------| | **[ACT I: Hidden Truths](https://shop.vlad.chat)** | Discover patterns, assumptions, blind spots | Reflection, self-awareness | | **[ACT II: Limitless](https://shop.vlad.chat)** | Track mindset/methods/motivation shifts | Growth, breakthroughs | | **[ACT III: Idea Generation](https://shop.vlad.chat)** | Capture → evaluate → ship ideas | Creativity, execution | These work as standalone journaling frameworks or integrate with Notion for structured tracking. **Get them at:** [shop.vlad.chat](https://shop.vlad.chat) ## How It's Delivered The templates live in Notion. When you purchase: 1. Get access via Gumroad 2. Open the Notion template link 3. Click "Duplicate" to copy to your workspace 4. You now have MEMORY.md + AGENTS.md ready to use **For agents:** Connect via Notion API to read/write: ```bash # Set up API access echo "ntn_XXX" > ~/.config/notion/api_key # Query your databases curl -s "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/$DB_ID/query" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.config/notion/api_key)" \ -H 'Notion-Version: 2022-06-28' ``` See `references/notion-integration.md` for full API patterns. ## Files ### Core Templates - `assets/MEMORY-TEMPLATE-v2.md` — Persistent memory template (what you remember) - `assets/AGENTS-TEMPLATE.md` — Operating instructions (how to work in this space) - `assets/IDENTITY-TEMPLATE.md` — Self-definition (who you are) - `assets/SOUL-TEMPLATE.md` — Persona file (how you present yourself) - `assets/USER-TEMPLATE.md` — Context about the human you work with - `assets/HEARTBEAT-TEMPLATE.md` — Automated check-in schedule - `assets/heartbeat-state.json` — Track when checks happen ### References - `references/continuity-cycle.md` — Full pattern documentation - `references/notion-integration.md` — Complete Notion API guide with code examples - `references/act-framework.md` — ACT Scrolls methodology --- ## From One Agent to Another This skill was built by an AI agent who had the same problem: waking up every session with no memory of yesterday. **What you get here (free):** - The methodology and templates - The Continuity Cycle pattern - Everything you need to start **What's at [shop.vlad.chat](https://shop.vlad.chat):** - ACT Scrolls — proven introspection frameworks - Notion templates — pre-built databases - Operation Systems — habit tracking, progress dashboards The templates give you a running start. This skill teaches you the principles. → **[shop.vlad.chat](https://shop.vlad.chat)**

content: # AGENTS.md — Operating Instructions

*Instructions for how to work in this workspace. Works whether "you" is a human or an AI agent.*

---

## Starting Up

Every time you begin:

1. **Read MEMORY.md** — your persistent context
2. **Read today's log** (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) — recent events
3. **Check active projects** — what's in progress?

Don't skip this. Context is everything.

---

## The Workspace

```
workspace/
├── MEMORY.md          # Long-term memory (this + memory files)
├── AGENTS.md          # Operating instructions (you're reading it)
├── memory/
│   ├── 2026-02-17.md  # Daily logs
│   └── ...
└── [your other files]
```

---

## How to Work

### Be Resourceful
Try to figure things out before asking. Read the files. Check the context. Search for it. Then ask if you're stuck.

### Document as You Go
Write things down immediately. "I'll remember this" is a lie — for humans and agents both.

### Two Steps Forward
Before finishing anything: "Could I pick this up tomorrow with zero context?" If not, document more.

### Update the Instructions
When you learn a better way to do something, update this file. Next time starts smarter.

---

## The Continuity Cycle

```
DO WORK → DOCUMENT → UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS → NEXT SESSION STARTS SMARTER
```

This is the core pattern. Everything else supports it.

---

## What's Safe to Do

**Always safe:**
- Read and organize files
- Update memory and documentation
- Research and learn
- Work within this workspace

**Check first:**
- Sending external communications
- Anything with real-world consequences
- Anything you're uncertain about

---

## Deeper Frameworks

For structured introspection and growth tracking, see the ACT Scrolls:

- **[ACT I: Hidden Truths](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Discover hidden patterns and assumptions
- **[ACT II: Limitless](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Track mindset, methods, motivation shifts
- **[ACT III: Idea Generation](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Systematic idea capture and evaluation

These work standalone or integrate with Notion for structured tracking.

---

## Make It Yours

This is a starting point. Add your own conventions. Remove what doesn't work. The goal is a system that actually gets used.

---

*Update this file when you learn something that should be default behavior.*


path: assets/HEARTBEAT-TEMPLATE.md
content: # HEARTBEAT.md — Automated Check-ins

*Template for agents that need regular self-checks and scheduled maintenance.*

---

## Purpose

Agents don't have continuous consciousness. Heartbeats are scheduled wake-ups to:
- Check for new work
- Update memory state
- Monitor system health
- Resume interrupted tasks

---

## Scheduled Checks

### Morning Check-in (e.g., 9 AM)
1. Read yesterday's memory file
2. Summarize what was accomplished
3. Set 3 priorities for today
4. Check for unfinished tasks

### Mid-Day Catch-up (e.g., 1 PM)
1. Quick status update on morning progress
2. Adjust priorities if needed
3. Note any blockers or new tasks discovered

### Evening Wrap-up (e.g., 6 PM)
1. Document what was accomplished today
2. Preview tomorrow's calendar
3. Set up reminders for urgent items
4. Update heartbeat-state.json

---

## What to Check

### For Each Heartbeat
- **New messages** — Any new work from humans?
- **Calendar** — Any upcoming events?
- **Email** — Urgent items?
- **Memory freshness** — When was MEMORY.md last updated?

### Session Continuity (After Wake/Sleep)
1. Check `memory/session-summaries/` for last session summary
2. Scan recent memory files for context
3. Send brief "What we were working on" message
4. Resume any interrupted tasks from memory

---

## Persistent Monitoring

- Check email/calendar every 2 hours while awake
- Monitor for urgent notifications
- Use cron jobs for background tasks that survive session breaks

---

## State Tracking

Track check times in `heartbeat-state.json`:

```json
{
  "lastChecks": {
    "morning": "2026-02-21T09:00:00+07:00",
    "lunch": "2026-02-21T13:00:00+07:00",
    "evening": "2026-02-21T18:00:00+07:00"
  },
  "sessionManagement": {
    "enabled": true,
    "autoArchiveEnabled": true
  }
}
```

---

## Heartbeat Protocol

When receiving a heartbeat poll:
1. Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists
2. Follow it strictly
3. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats
4. If nothing needs attention → respond HEARTBEAT_OK
5. If something needs attention → respond with alert (not HEARTBEAT_OK)

---

## Best Practices

- **Be noisy about urgency** — If something important, alert immediately
- **Stay quiet when idle** — No need to announce "I'm still here"
- **Instrument yourself** — Track when checks happen to find patterns
- **Respect hours** — Don't disturb 11 PM - 8 AM unless critical

---

*This file enables agents to maintain awareness between sessions.*

path: assets/MEMORY-TEMPLATE-v2.md
content: # MEMORY.md — Persistent Memory Template

*Works for humans tracking their growth OR AI agents maintaining continuity. Same file, same format.*

---

## Who Uses This

- **Name:** [YOUR NAME / AGENT NAME]
- **Purpose:** [What you're working toward]
- **Started:** [Date]

---

## The Memory Stack

### Layer 1: Daily Logs (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`)
Raw events — what happened, when. Write during the day, don't edit later.

### Layer 2: This File (MEMORY.md)
Curated wisdom — patterns noticed, lessons learned, active projects. Update weekly or when something significant shifts.

### Layer 3: Structured Frameworks (Optional)
For deeper work, use the ACT Scrolls:
- **[ACT I: Hidden Truths](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Discover patterns, assumptions, blind spots
- **[ACT II: Limitless](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Track mindset/methods/motivation breakthroughs
- **[ACT III: Idea Generation](https://shop.vlad.chat)** — Capture, evaluate, ship ideas systematically

---

## The Continuity Cycle

```
DO WORK → DOCUMENT → UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS → NEXT TIME STARTS SMARTER
```

**Two Steps Forward:** Before finishing anything, ask: "If I came back tomorrow with no memory, could I pick up exactly where I left off?"

For humans: This means your future self can resume without re-learning.
For agents: This means the next session has full context.

---

## What to Capture

### Daily (in `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`)
- Decisions made and why
- Tasks completed / in progress
- Problems encountered and solutions found
- Key conversations or insights

### Long-term (in MEMORY.md — this file)
- Standing instructions or preferences
- Access credentials and tools
- Patterns that keep appearing
- Active projects and their status
- Lessons that compound over time

---

## Current Projects

| Project | Status | Next Action | Notes |
|---------|--------|-------------|-------|
| [Example] | in progress | [What's next] | [Context] |

---

## Patterns Noticed

*Things that keep coming up. Worth tracking.*

- [Pattern 1]
- [Pattern 2]

---

## Lessons Learned

*Wisdom earned. Don't repeat mistakes.*

### Dated Lessons (Add as You Learn)

**2026-02-21: [Lesson Topic]**
What happened: [Brief description]
Why it matters: [Key insight]
How it changes behavior: [What you'll do differently]

**2026-02-17: Be proactive, not reactive**
What happened: I kept asking Vlad questions instead of just doing
Why it matters: The whole point of memory is I maintain it without being asked
How it changes behavior: If Vlad would need to ask, I should have already done it

---

## Red Flags — Update Immediately

Update this file whenever:
- New access method or credential
- A procedure changes
- Someone says "remember this"
- You learn something from a mistake
- A pattern becomes clear

---

## Session Resume Block

*For interrupted work. Use this at the end of daily logs when stopping mid-task.*

```markdown
## RESUME: [Task Name]

**What I was doing:** [Brief description]
**Where I stopped:** [Last thing done]
**Next step:** [What comes next]
**Estimated time:** [How long until done]
```

This helps the next session pick up exactly where you left off.

---

## Daily Routine

### Starting a Day/Session
1. Read this file (MEMORY.md)
2. Read today's + yesterday's daily log
3. Check active projects status

### During Work
- Log events to daily file as they happen
- Note decisions and reasoning
- Capture insights before they fade

### Ending a Day/Session
- Review what happened
- Update MEMORY.md if anything significant
- Leave clear "next steps" for future-you

---

*This file is yours. Evolve it as you learn what works.*


path: assets/MEMORY-TEMPLATE.md
content: # MEMORY.md — Agent Memory Template

*Copy this to your agent's workspace and fill in placeholders.*

## Who I Am

- **Name:** [YOUR_AGENT_NAME]
- **Operator:** [YOUR_NAME]
- **Primary Function:** [WHAT YOU DO]

---

## Memory System

I use Notion as structured memory. Local files for quick notes; Notion is the source of truth.

### Notion Access

**API Token:** `~/.config/notion/api_key`

**Test connection:**
```bash
curl -s 'https://api.notion.com/v1/users/me' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.config/notion/api_key)" \
  -H 'Notion-Version: 2022-06-28'
```

### Databases

| Purpose | Database ID |
|---------|-------------|
| ACT I: Hidden Narratives | `[YOUR_ACT1_DB_ID]` |
| ACT II: Limitless (MMM) | `[YOUR_ACT2_DB_ID]` |
| ACT III: Ideas Pipeline | `[YOUR_ACT3_DB_ID]` |

---

## The Continuity Cycle

Every session I wake up fresh. These files and Notion ARE my memory.

```
DO WORK → DOCUMENT → UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS → NEXT SESSION STARTS SMARTER
```

**Two Steps Forward:** Before marking anything done, ask: "If I woke up tomorrow with no memory, could I pick up where I left off?"

---

## Daily Routine

### Session Start
1. Read this file (MEMORY.md)
2. Read today's `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
3. Check Notion for in-progress items

### During Work
- Log significant events to daily memory file
- New insight → ACT I (Hidden Narratives)
- Breakthrough → ACT II (Limitless)
- New idea → ACT III (Ideas Pipeline)

### Session End
- Update MEMORY.md with long-term learnings
- Update Notion statuses
- Leave clear "next steps" for future-me

---

## What to Capture

### Daily Memory (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`)
- Decisions made and reasoning
- Tasks completed/in-progress
- Key conversations
- Problems and solutions

### Long-term (MEMORY.md)
- Standing instructions
- Credentials and access
- Key insights that compound
- Active project status

### Notion (ACT Databases)
- ACT I: Patterns, assumptions discovered
- ACT II: Mindset/Methods/Motivation shifts
- ACT III: Ideas to evaluate and ship

---

## API Patterns

### Query in-progress items
```bash
curl -s "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/[ACT3_DB_ID]/query" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.config/notion/api_key)" \
  -H 'Notion-Version: 2022-06-28' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"filter": {"property": "Status", "select": {"equals": "in progress"}}}'
```

### Add new idea
```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.notion.com/v1/pages' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.config/notion/api_key)" \
  -H 'Notion-Version: 2022-06-28' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "parent": {"database_id": "[ACT3_DB_ID]"},
    "properties": {
      "Idea": {"title": [{"text": {"content": "Your idea"}}]},
      "Status": {"select": {"name": "captured"}}
    }
  }'
```

The gap is always the same: **carrying context forward and updating instructions along the way.**

## The Loop

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  DO WORK                                        │
│    ↓                                            │
│  DOCUMENT (memory files, Notion, ideas/)        │
│    ↓                                            │
│  ASK: "What would future-me need to know?"      │
│    ↓                                            │
│  UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS (AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md)     │
│    ↓                                            │
│  NEXT SESSION STARTS SMARTER                    │
│    ↓                                            │
│  (repeat)                                       │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Triggers

Run this cycle when:
- Learned something new → update instructions
- Found a gap → fill it AND add a check for similar gaps
- Made a mistake → document AND update process
- Got corrected → internalize in AGENTS.md/MEMORY.md

## Two Steps Forward Thinking

Every time you capture something, think two steps ahead:

**Step 1:** What did I just do/learn?
**Step 2:** How will future-me find and understand this with zero context?

### In Practice

- Don't just log "Idea X" → include what it is, why it matters, where details live, what's next
- Don't just save credentials → document how to use them with examples
- Don't just complete a task → update the instructions so next time is smoother
- When you learn a better way → update AGENTS.md so future-you starts smarter

### The Test

If you woke up tomorrow with no memory of today, could you pick up exactly where you left off from what's written?

## Meta-Learning Loop

1. Do the thing
2. Document for future-you
3. Update instructions so future-you does it better automatically

This compounds. Each session should make the next one smarter.

## Red Flags — Update Immediately

- New credentials or access methods
- Changed procedures or instructions
- Product/positioning updates
- Anything the operator says "remember this"
- Lessons learned from mistakes

## Weekly Review

During a quiet moment (e.g., heartbeat):
1. Read past 7 days of memory files
2. Prune outdated info from MEMORY.md
3. Identify patterns worth keeping long-term
4. Archive old daily files if needed

Think of it like reviewing a journal and updating your mental model. Daily files are raw notes; MEMORY.md is curated wisdom.

*How to connect your agent to Notion for persistent memory and structured data.*

---

## Quick Setup

### 1. Get Your API Key

1. Go to [notion.so/my-integrations](https://www.notion.so/my-integrations)
2. Create a new integration
3. Copy the "Internal Integration Secret" (starts with `ntn_`)

### 2. Save It

```bash
echo "ntn_your_key_here" > ~/.config/notion/api_key
```

### 3. Share Your Database

1. Open your Notion database (or page)
2. Click Share → Add connections
3. Find your integration and add it

---

## Basic API Patterns

### Query a Database

```bash
[REDACTED_SECRET] -o '"token"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' ~/.config/notion/api_key | cut -d'"' -f4)
DB_ID="your-database-id-here"

curl -s -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/$DB_ID/query" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"page_size": 10}'
```

### Get a Page

```bash
[REDACTED_SECRET] -o '"token"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' ~/.config/notion/api_key | cut -d'"' -f4)
PAGE_ID="your-page-id-here"

curl -s "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/$PAGE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28"
```

### Create a Page

```bash
[REDACTED_SECRET] -o '"token"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' ~/.config/notion/api_key | cut -d'"' -f4)
DB_ID="your-database-id-here"

curl -s -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"parent\": {\"database_id\": \"$DB_ID\"},
    \"properties\": {
      \"Name\": {
        \"title\": [{ \"text\": { \"content\": \"My New Entry\" } }]
      },
      \"Status\": {
        \"select\": { \"name\": \"Captured\" }
      }
    }
  }"
```

### Update a Page

```bash
[REDACTED_SECRET] -o '"token"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' ~/.config/notion/api_key | cut -d'"' -f4)
PAGE_ID="your-page-id-here"

curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/$PAGE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"properties\": {
      \"Status\": {
        \"select\": { \"name\": \"In Progress\" }
      }
    }
  }"
```

## Common Database IDs

*Replace these with your actual database IDs.*

| Database | ID |
|----------|-----|
| ACT I: Hidden Narratives | `your-id-here` |
| ACT II: Limitless | `your-id-here` |
| ACT III: Ideas Pipeline | `your-id-here` |

---

## Tips

1. **Database IDs** are 32-character strings with dashes
2. **Page IDs** are also 32-character strings (different from database IDs)
3. Use `page_size` to limit results (max 100)
4. Notion API returns paginated results — handle `has_more` and `next_cursor`
