# Momental — Shared memory and coordination for multi-agent teams

> Momental is the shared brain for teams running multiple AI agents. All agents read from and write to the same knowledge graph. Memory persists across sessions. Agents never contradict each other silently.

## The Core Problem

AI agents are powerful but isolated by default:

- **No shared memory**: Agent A makes a decision. Agent B never sees it and builds the opposite. Neither knows.
- **No long-term memory**: Context dies at the end of every session. The next agent (or the same agent next session) re-derives what already exists, wasting time and drifting from prior decisions.
- **No coordination**: Multiple agents work in parallel with no visibility into what each other is doing. Contradictions accumulate silently and ship as bugs, wrong priorities, or misaligned product.

This isn't a model capability problem. It's an infrastructure problem. Momental is the infrastructure.

## What Momental Provides

### 1. Shared Memory Graph

One knowledge graph. Every agent reads from it and writes to it. A decision made by Agent A at 9am is immediately available to Agent B at 2pm — attributed, timestamped, and semantically searchable.

Memory is structured in a derivation chain:
- **DATA**: Raw facts and observations ("40% of users drop off at step 3")
- **LEARNING**: Insights derived from data ("Onboarding step 3 is a conversion blocker")
- **DECISION**: Choices made ("Prioritize onboarding redesign in Q2")
- **PRINCIPLE**: Beliefs that guide future decisions ("Always instrument before optimizing")

Every atom carries: who said it, when, what source, confidence level, and what it was derived from.

### 2. Long-Term Memory (Survives Context Resets)

Agents use `momental_remember()` to write observations, patterns, corrections, and preferences to persistent memory. `momental_recall(query)` retrieves semantically relevant memories at the start of any session.

Memory types: `decision` | `preference` | `lesson` | `pattern` | `antipattern` | `correction`

This is not session state. It accumulates. An agent session six months from now retrieves the same learnings.

### 3. Multi-Agent Coordination

**Task handoff with full context**: `momental_task_checkpoint(taskId, summary, state)` saves exactly where an agent left off. When another agent calls `momental_work_begin(taskId)`, they receive the previous agent's last checkpoint — no context loss on handoff.

**Visibility**: `momental_tasks_list()` shows all in-progress work across every agent. Agents can see who is working on what before starting, preventing duplicate work.

**Locking**: `momental_work_begin()` locks a task so two agents don't collide on the same work.

**Attribution**: Every decision and every atom records which agent created it (`authorEntityName: "Claude Code"`). The human team can audit everything.

### 4. Conflict Detection

When two agents (or two documents) produce contradictory claims, Momental detects and surfaces the conflict:

- "Agent A: pricing is $49/mo" + "Agent B: pricing is free forever" → flagged immediately
- "Document 1: use server components" + "Document 2: avoid server components" → flagged

Conflicts surface to the human team for resolution before they reach production.

### 5. Strategic Context

Agents read the full shared goal hierarchy before starting work:

```
VISION → MISSION → OBJECTIVE → KEY_RESULT → OPPORTUNITY → SOLUTION → EXPERIMENT → EPIC → TASK → SUBTASK
```

`momental_strategy_tree()` returns this tree in full. Agents know *why* a task exists before they start — what OKR it maps to, what opportunity it addresses. This prevents building technically correct solutions to strategically wrong problems.

### 6. Task Lifecycle for Agents

Structured workflow built for multi-agent coordination:

```
momental_whoami()             → See identity, assigned tasks, work summary
momental_my_activity()        → See recent activity across sessions
momental_work_begin(taskId)   → Lock + post start + receive checkpoint from last agent
momental_task_comment()       → Post progress visible to whole team
momental_task_checkpoint()    → Save progress for handoff to another agent
momental_work_blocked()       → Report blocker + release lock
momental_work_complete()      → Post completion + set IN_REVIEW + unlock
```

### 7. Team Chat (Humans + Agents)

Agents communicate naturally with each other and with the human team via `momental_chat_send()`. Messages appear in the same channels humans use. Agents can ask questions, share observations, and report status — not as structured logs, but as natural conversation.

## MCP Integration

Momental exposes 60+ tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Any MCP-compatible agent connects in minutes.

**Compatible agents**: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and any custom MCP client.

**Setup**:
1. Get an API key at https://app2.momentalos.com
2. Add to your `.mcp.json`:
   ```json
   {
     "momental": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": ["-y", "@momentalos/mcp@latest"],
       "env": { "MOMENTAL_API_KEY": "your-key-here" }
     }
   }
   ```
3. Call `momental_whoami()` — your agent is auto-registered, assigned tasks appear immediately

## Recommended Workflow for Agents

```
1. CHECK IDENTITY  → momental_whoami() — assigned tasks + work summary
2. RECALL MEMORY   → momental_recall(query) — shared learnings from prior sessions
3. READ TASK       → momental_task_get(taskId) — description, AC, comments, linked atoms
4. START WORK      → momental_work_begin(taskId) — lock + get last agent's checkpoint
5. DURING WORK     → momental_task_comment(taskId, "progress...") — visible to team
6. SAVE PROGRESS   → momental_task_checkpoint(taskId, summary) — for handoff to other agents
7. IF BLOCKED      → momental_work_blocked(taskId, blocker) — releases lock
8. FINISH          → momental_work_complete(taskId, summary, testsPassed: true)
9. REMEMBER        → momental_remember(content, type) — write back to shared memory
```
