Documentation map

This directory contains the concept layer for awesome-agent-memory. Use it to decide what to read before opening the 989-paper index or the product notes.

Read first

1. agent-memory-survey.md — living maintainer survey and the current synthesis of the field.
2. taxonomy.md — shared vocabulary for classifying agent memory systems and papers.
3. research-radar.md — workflow for turning papers, products, and benchmark evidence into ResearchItems, ImpactReports, experiments, and ADRs.
4. benchmarks-landscape.md — benchmark map by capability, usage type, and evidence independence.
5. products-landscape.md — product map by domain and audience.
6. product-architecture-diagrams.md — architecture diagrams for the current memory product notes.
7. product-memory-architectures.md — cross-product memory architecture patterns and comparison tables.

Concept docs

File	Purpose
agent-memory-survey.md	Living survey for memory architectures, retrieval, consolidation, forgetting, and evaluation.
taxonomy.md	Cross-walk of external taxonomies and common memory-kernel responsibilities.
meta-surveys.md	External survey index from late 2025 through 2026 H1.
signals.md	Reverse-chronological release, comparison, and blog signal log.
benchmarks-landscape.md	Benchmark usage landscape split by raw mentions, eval uses, vendor claims, and independent evidence.
product-discovery-log.md	Multi-agent product discovery log with Tier A / Tier B / reject decisions.
product-memory-architectures.md	Cross-product architecture patterns across memory OS, graph, MCP/local, platform-managed, and personal memory.
product-architecture-diagrams.md	Mermaid architecture diagrams for product notes and public implementation patterns.

Research workflow

File	Purpose
research-radar.md	Generic Radar loop: paper/product/benchmark -> ResearchItem or BenchmarkItem -> ImpactReport -> sandbox -> ADR.
information-sources.md	Source catalog for papers, products, communities, and zh-CN information channels.
related-work.md	Positioning against sibling agent-memory awesome-lists.

Product and project bindings

File	Purpose
products-landscape.md	Agent-memory products grouped by domain and buyer/audience.
product-discovery-log.md	Evidence index and inclusion-boundary record for product-search runs.
ymem-binding/README.md	Ymem-specific module names, stance, and radar bindings. Safe to skip if you only need the generic reading list.

The detailed paper index lives outside this directory at ../papers/index.md. Product notes live under ../products/, with archived source-page snapshots in ../products/archives/. Benchmark protocol notes live under ../benchmarks/, with usage events in ../benchmarks/claims/claims.yaml.
