A temporary working state holds intermediate steps, variables, and open tasks during a single execution run. Typical conditions for use: Multi-step tasks require tracking intermediate states; Tool results will be referenced later. The central trade-off: Better control during a single run is gained against the need for additional state management logic.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
Working memory holds provisional intermediate results for the task currently being performed.
The term comes from cognitive psychology, especially the working-memory model proposed by Baddeley and Hitch. Language-model and agent systems adopted it as a scratchpad pattern so intermediate goals, observations, and open questions remain available during a task.
Imagine a whiteboard beside the workstation: it contains current notes, is continuously rewritten, and remains separate from the durable archive.
A deliberately visible area for provisional notes and calculation steps.
The goals, observations, and open questions relevant to the current run.
The choice between temporary storage and long-term retention.
A scratchpad prevents important intermediate steps from disappearing during a run. It is transient and can become stale; durable facts belong in a reviewed store with traceable provenance.
