Goal: Get a life-management agent to spot patterns, not just recap my week.
Setup: agents used in source: Hermes Agent, Meta Muse; tools/MCPs stated: markdown memory files.
Steps:
1. Have the agent write a daily memory log as a markdown file.
2. Keep derived memory stores about the concepts that matter to you.
