Agent memory moves into maintained wikis

Brace Sproul shared a new OpenWiki Brains walkthrough focused on general-purpose brain mode: local setup, architecture, generated docs, and an `open questions` agent file. The signal is that agent memory is shifting from passive chat history toward maintained, source-grounded wikis. Why it matters: Coding-agent documentation tools are becoming broader memory infrastructure. A maintained wiki can give agents durable context across repos, personal sources, and unfinished questions without stuffing everything into one prompt or instruction file.

Try this: Before connecting private sources, evaluate the pattern safely: inspect the OpenWiki repo/docs, test personal-brain mode with dummy local markdown, review the generated wiki and open-questions file, then decide which sources are safe enough to add.
