Summary
The memory agent serves both RPI and GitHub Backlog systems via the shared /checkpoint prompt but has asymmetric outbound handoffs (routes back to rpi-agent only) and zero user documentation about session persistence or cross-system integration.

Asymmetric Return Path
The memory agent's frontmatter defines two outbound handoffs, both targeting rpi-agent:
- label: "🗑️ Clear"
agent: rpi-agent
prompt: /clear
- label: "🚀 Continue with RPI"
agent: rpi-agent
prompt: /rpi suggest
No outbound handoff to github-backlog-manager exists. Backlog users who restore memory via /checkpoint continue must manually switch back to the backlog manager, while RPI users get a one-click handoff button.
Documentation Gaps
docs/rpi/using-together.md contains zero mentions of the memory agent, /checkpoint, session persistence, or the 💾 Save buttondocs/agents/github-backlog/ does not document memory integrationdocs/agents/README.md lists memory as "Planned" documentationdocs/contributing/ROADMAP.md lists "Implement agent memory and context management" as a will-do item
Plugin Distribution
The memory agent and /checkpoint command are symlinked across all 10 plugin collections, confirming its role as universal infrastructure.
Recommended Approach
Two separable work items:
1. Add backlog return handoff
Add a 🚀 Continue with Backlog outbound handoff to the memory agent's frontmatter targeting github-backlog-manager.
2. Document memory integration
- Add session persistence section to
docs/rpi/using-together.md covering the checkpoint prompt, save/restore flow, and resume instructions
- Document memory integration in
docs/agents/github-backlog/
- Update
docs/agents/README.md status for memory agent documentation
