Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Lukas built a very basic version of Tim Kellogg's agentic forgetting approach for an agent's memory. The post doesn't describe the mechanics, such as what the agent can access, how it decides what to forget, or where a person steps in. His next step is a more extended version, which he credits to personhood.removal.surgery.

  2. How it went

    He calls the result incredible even in its simplest form. The post gives no numbers, tests or comparisons, and no limitations.

  3. Worth knowing

    The post is a short announcement with no implementation details, so you would need Kellogg's original write-up to copy the approach.

Example prompts

Try with Claude Code
Look at how my agent stores memory in [path or project]. Add a simple forgetting mechanism: give each memory a last-used time and relevance score, and have a scheduled pass archive or delete low-value, stale entries. Write tests showing old unused memories get dropped while frequently used ones stay. Before deleting anything real, show me the list of what would be removed.
