Episodic Memory: Storing Experiences and Learning from Them

What episodic memory is

Episodic memory stores “what happened” in a run: goal, plan, actions, outcome, and lessons. It’s the closest thing to learning without retraining.

Episode format (practical)

Goal
Steps taken
What worked / what failed
Final outcome
Lesson (1–3 bullets)

Using episodes

Before attempting a similar task, retrieve past episodes and inject only the lessons. This improves reliability fast.

Avoiding incorrect lessons

Some failures are due to external issues (API down). Don’t record “lesson: never call this API”. Record the true cause.
