Where to put new files:

  • New files should go into a top-level subfolder, named after the article slug. For example: my-awesome-article

How to merge your changes:

  1. Make sure the CI code style tests all pass (+ run the automatic code formatter if necessary).
  2. Find an RP Team member on Slack and ask them to review & approve your PR.
  3. Once the PR has one positive ("approved") review, GitHub lets you merge the PR.
  4. 🎉

Code examples for the AI Agent Memory in Python: A Primer tutorial. Files live in the ai-agent-memory/ top-level folder, named after the article slug.

  • short_term.py: asks the same question with and without the conversation history.
  • long_term.py: an agent that saves, searches, updates, and deletes its own memories in memories.json through tool calls.

Both scripts declare openai==3.35.1 in inline script metadata and need OPENAI_API_KEY. Generated from the tutorial markdown with the post-materials skill, checked line by line against the article's code blocks, and run locally before pushing.
