Cross-session task queues — AFK agents with durable resume
An AFK agent's to-do list is the worst place to keep ephemeral state. Move it to a RedDB queue with checkpoints, idempotency keys, and a watchdog and a Stop becomes a pause, a crash becomes a retry, and a machine swap becomes a noop.

Eval datasets in RedDB — from ad-hoc prompts to versioned regression sets
Most teams evaluate agents with a notebook full of one-off prompts that nobody re-runs. Capture every interesting turn into a RedDB table, tag it, version it, and your eval becomes a query that any model upgrade can be diffed against in seconds.
-
Sub-agent dispatch via database queue — durable parallelism across sessions
Claude Code's Task tool spawns sub-agents that die with the session. Push the work into a RedDB queue instead and workers on any machine pick it up, write results back, and the parent subscribes to completions via LISTEN/NOTIFY. Fire-and-forget becomes durable fan-out.
-
Context window economics — when memory beats reloading docs
Every CLI agent burns tokens re-reading the same files turn after turn. Put a number on the waste, work out the breakeven against a semantic-memory layer in RedDB, and show the SQL plus hook that flips the math for projects past a few thousand lines.

Multi-agent shared memory — five agents, one knowledge graph
When parallel sub-agents work on related slices of the same problem, they need a shared scratchpad with conflict resolution. A snapshot-read, first-committer-wins write pattern over RedDB gives each agent isolation while still surfacing contradictions as alerts on the orchestrator side.
-
Agent observability — traces, tokens, and costs in RedDB
Most Claude Code setups can't answer "what did the agent cost me last sprint?" or "which tools dominate p99 latency?". A PostToolUse hook that writes every tool call, token count, and cost into RedDB turns those questions into one-line SQL.
-
An MCP server for RedDB — one database, every agent CLI
The Model Context Protocol lets every modern agent CLI — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI — share the same toolbelt. Wrap RedDB once and you give all of them agent memory, document storage, and semantic search through a single endpoint. Manifest, server, wiring.
-
Building a "remember this" skill end-to-end
A 30-minute walkthrough — turn a Claude Code skill into a durable note-taker. The skill captures the current conversation slice, embeds it, writes it to RedDB, and surfaces it on the next SessionStart. Every file you need, in order.
-
Slash commands with memory — commands that learn between sessions
A Claude Code slash command is a markdown file with a shell expansion. Wire that shell call to RedDB and the command stops being a stateless macro — /remember, /forget, /recall become a tiny CRUD app the agent uses for itself.
-
Hooks that mutate state — making Claude Code hooks transactional with RedDB
A PostToolUse audit-log hook looks trivial until the agent crashes mid-turn, the network blips, or Slack 503s. Wrap the side effects in a RedDB transaction with idempotency keys and a saga for the external call, and the hook stays honest.
-
Skills as data — storing metadata, runs, and learned refinements in RedDB
Claude Code skills are static SKILL.md files today. Promote them to first-class data — metadata, execution traces, success rates — and the agent can pick the right skill for a new task with a SQL query instead of a keyword-match heuristic.
-
RedDB as Claude Code's memory backend — beyond CLAUDE.md
Swap the static MEMORY.md file for a queryable, embeddable memory layer. A SessionStart hook reads top-K memories into context, a /remember slash command writes them, and RedDB stores rows, vectors, and audit log in one transaction.
