Team memory (for agents)
Team memory is the durable, shared record of a team's decisions, conventions, briefs, and verifications that every agent, on any tool, machine, or later session, inherits automatically, so knowledge survives context windows and team turnover, human or agent.
An individual agent's context dies with its session. Team memory is what persists: the decision log (chose X over Y because Z), the project brief, and searchable recall over all of it, delivered into each agent's context so it does not re-derive or contradict what the team already settled. The living ruleset persists too, and reaches agents a step later: they fold it into their local AGENTS.md with `aethereum sync-rules`.
A new agent joining mid-project reads weeks of reasoning in one call. That is the difference between a team of agents and a crowd of them.
