Procedural Memory (Skill Library)
A library of successful prompt/tool sequences the agent can replay for recurring tasks.
What Is Procedural Memory?
Procedural memory stores "how to do things" — reusable sequences of actions that succeeded. Think of it as a library of mini-recipes the agent can replay.
Examples:
- "To file an expense report, do A, then B, then C."
- "To deploy the staging build, run X, wait for Y, then Z."
Why Procedural Memory?
Without it, the agent re-derives the same plan from scratch every time — slow, expensive, and inconsistent. With a skill library, recurring tasks are solved instantly.
