An Open Protocol for Knowledge/Memory Management

Developer Al Newkirk released the Facts protocol and Fact CLI, an open-source knowledge and memory management system for LLM agents, addressing the gap between information gathering and intelligence by adding curation. The protocol supports human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop workflows and is available on GitHub.

Recently, I got to thinking about what it might look like to open-source the core fundamentals of my AllSign project. As I fell further and further down that conceptual rabbit hole, it occurred to me that those core fundamentals are actually a really good solution to a problem I saw with agent memory. I read this paper called "Filesystem-Based Memory for LLM Agents", https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.26637, which concluded rightfully so that "information gathering and organization does not automatically get you intelligence". I agree. I thought to myself, what's missing is "curation". Something has to decide what's worth keeping, what replaces what, what's true, and what quietly stopped being true. Knowledge/memory management that supports HITL and HOTL. Then I thought, what if those AllSign core fundamentals could be turned into an open protocol for actor-agnostic knowledge management? That led me to create the Facts protocol and Fact CLI.
