    "description": "Memory Scoping as a cross-cutting topic — the hierarchy of scopes at\nwhich agent memories are stored, retrieved, and isolated. Covers\nsession-only memory (context window, dies with session), project-scoped\nmemory (persists per-project across sessions), user-scoped memory\n(follows the user across projects), org-scoped memory (shared across\nteam members), and cross-agent memory (shared across different agent\nproducts). Each scope level introduces new challenges: project-scoped\nmemory needs project identification, user-scoped needs user identity,\norg-scoped needs access control, and cross-agent needs format\ninteroperability. Claude Code implements project + user scopes, Mem0\nadds agent + org scopes, and agentmemory targets cross-agent sharing.\n"
