<p>Agents access storage through a shared utility function:</p>

</code></pre></div>
<p>This utility is exported from <code>cortexgraph.agents</code> and provides consistent storage access across all agents. The function retrieves the storage instance from the context, enabling:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Testability</strong>: Easy to mock for unit tests</li>
<li><strong>Consistency</strong>: All agents use the same storage instance</li>
<li><strong>Decoupling</strong>: Agents don't need to know about context management</li>
</ul>
<p>The utility is defined in <code>cortexgraph.agents.storage_utils</code> and re-exported from <code>cortexgraph.agents.__init__</code>.</p>
<h3 id="base-agent-contract">Base Agent Contract<a class="headerlink" href="#base-agent-contract" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>All agents extend <code>ConsolidationAgent[T]</code>, which provides:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>dry_run</code> mode</strong>: Preview changes without modifying data</li>
<li><strong>Rate limiting</strong>: Configurable operations per minute (default: 60)</li>
<li><strong>Scan → Process pattern</strong>: Identify work, then execute</li>
<li><strong>Beads integration</strong>: Create issues for discovered work</li>

<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Identify memories at risk of being forgotten.</p>
<p><strong>Scan</strong>: Queries all active memories and calculates decay scores.</p>
<p><strong>Process</strong>: For each memory with score in the "danger zone" (0.15-0.35), determines urgency:
- <strong>HIGH</strong> (score < 0.15): Immediate attention needed
- <strong>MEDIUM</strong> (0.15 ≤ score < 0.25): Standard priority
- <strong>LOW</strong> (0.25 ≤ score < 0.35): Can wait</p>
<p><strong>Actions recommended</strong>:
- <code>reinforce</code>: Memory is valuable, should be reviewed
- <code>gc_candidate</code>: Memory is low-value, consider deletion
- <code>needs_review</code>: Uncertain, requires human judgment</p>

<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Find groups of similar memories for potential consolidation.</p>
<p><strong>Scan</strong>: Uses embedding similarity to find memory clusters.</p>
<p><strong>Process</strong>: For each cluster meeting threshold:
- <strong>High cohesion</strong> (≥ 0.85): Auto-merge candidate
- <strong>Medium cohesion</strong> (0.65-0.85): LLM review recommended
- <strong>Low cohesion</strong> (< 0.65): Keep separate</p>
<p><strong>Integration with beads</strong>: Creates issues with <code>consolidation:cluster</code> label for tracking.</p>

<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Intelligently combine clustered memories.</p>
<p><strong>Scan</strong>: Reads merge issues from beads (created by ClusterDetector).</p>
<p><strong>Process</strong>: For each merge request:
1. Fetch source memories
2. Merge content (preserving unique information)
3. Union tags and entities
4. Calculate combined strength
5. Create new memory
6. Create <code>consolidated_from</code> relations
7. Archive original memories</p>

<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: Move high-value memories to long-term storage (Obsidian vault).</p>
<p><strong>Scan</strong>: Identifies promotion candidates based on:
- Score threshold (default: ≥ 0.65)
- Usage threshold (default: ≥ 5 uses in 14 days)
- Or forced promotion</p>
<p><strong>Process</strong>: For each candidate:
1. Verify criteria still met
2. Generate Markdown content with YAML frontmatter
3. Write to vault directory
4. Update memory status to <code>PROMOTED</code>
5. Store vault path reference</p>

<h3 id="why-five-agents">Why Five Agents?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-five-agents" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>Each agent has a <strong>single responsibility</strong>:
- Decay: Find problems
- Cluster: Group similar items
- Merge: Combine groups
- Promote: Move to long-term
- Relations: Build connections</p>
<p>This separation allows:
- Independent testing
- Parallel execution (future)
- Easy debugging
- Selective running</p>
<h3 id="why-beads-integration">Why Beads Integration?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-beads-integration" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>Beads provides:
- <strong>Audit trail</strong>: Every decision is tracked
- <strong>Human override</strong>: Humans can review/reject
- <strong>State persistence</strong>: Survives restarts
- <strong>Parallelization</strong>: Multiple agents can work simultaneously</p>
<h3 id="why-pipeline-order">Why Pipeline Order?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-pipeline-order" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>The order <code>decay → cluster → merge → promote → relations</code> is deliberate:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Decay first</strong>: Identify at-risk memories before clustering</li>
<li><strong>Cluster second</strong>: Group identified memories</li>
<li><strong>Merge third</strong>: Consolidate clusters</li>
<li><strong>Promote fourth</strong>: Move valuable memories to LTM</li>
<li><strong>Relations last</strong>: Build connections after structure is stable</li>
</ol>

<h3 id="agent-returns-empty-results">Agent Returns Empty Results<a class="headerlink" href="#agent-returns-empty-results" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>Check:
1. Are there memories in storage? (<code>cortexgraph-maintenance stats</code>)
2. Are thresholds appropriate for your data?
3. Is the storage path correct?</p>
<h3 id="beads-issues-piling-up">Beads Issues Piling Up<a class="headerlink" href="#beads-issues-piling-up" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>The agents create issues but aren't closing them:
1. Check if <code>bd</code> CLI is installed and working
2. Run <code>bd list --status open</code> to see pending work
3. Manually close stale issues: <code>bd close <id> --reason "stale"</code></p>
<h3 id="merge-not-working">Merge Not Working<a class="headerlink" href="#merge-not-working" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>Common issues:
1. Cluster cohesion too low (try lowering threshold)
2. Memories already archived
3. Storage permissions</p>
<h3 id="pipeline-takes-too-long">Pipeline Takes Too Long<a class="headerlink" href="#pipeline-takes-too-long" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>Solutions:
1. Increase <code>rate_limit</code> (default: 60/min)
2. Run agents individually
3. Reduce scope with filters</p>
