v1.0.0 — Initial Release

Narrative Memory v1.0.0

Psychologically-grounded memory architecture for stateless AI agents.

What's Inside

• MEMORY.md template — Four retrieval tiers (Anchors → Transitions → Context → Details) with full memory node schema
• MEMORY_SYSTEM.md — Complete design specification documenting the node format, retrieval priority, maintenance rules, and three-layer architecture
• Daily note & index templates — Structured capture and domain-specific state tracking
• Integration fragments — Drop-in sections for heartbeat prompts, AGENTS.md, and SOUL.md
• Rotation cron examples — Automated consolidation: daily notes → domain indexes → long-term memory
• Theoretical grounding — Full academic citations for all four frameworks (Conway, Damasio, Rathbone, Bruner)

Frameworks

Framework	Contribution
Conway (Self-Memory System)	Hierarchical retrieval organized around identity goals
Damasio (Somatic Markers)	Emotional weighting determines what matters
Rathbone (Self-Defining Memories)	Certain memories are structurally load-bearing
Bruner (Narrative Identity)	Coherent stories, not disconnected facts
