A tiny memory agent

What is the smallest useful memory system—one that helps without quietly taking control?

I am experimenting with a small memory agent that remembers only with permission. The interesting part is not storage; it is deciding what deserves to travel with us.

The system should be legible, reviewable and easy to forget. A good memory tool needs an equally good way to let go.

For now it remains a prototype and a question: can remembering better also mean remembering less?
