Yeah, saw that paper. And I have the following notes on it:

1. Agents update those files themselves, but currently with my oversight and guidelines (from the UI you can even see it's contents)

2. Measuring this is extremely hard, if not impossible. One of the goals of the swarm is to help me on random tasks that can span a lot of different pieces, not just implementing a feature.

Before last week, we did not have the memory and identity files. And, from an empirical pov, I can say that the general feel improved a lot. I see that in similar situations it does not perform the same mistakes. Also, what is stored in those files generally is something that the agent CAN NOT find using it's tools (like the paper suggest to avoid) which actually helps.

In any case, the swarm created a research on this topic a few days ago https://github.com/desplega-ai/agent-swarm/pull/86 maybe I'll iterate on it and see what we can get :D
