Beyond Context Windows: Persistent Discovery Context for Data-Centric Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

Data-centric agents repeatedly perform a discovery step before planning or execution: identifying the data objects relevant to a task. Yet successful discovery outcomes are typically discarded rather than reused. We introduce persistent discovery context, a lightweight memory layer that stores prior intent-to-object mappings and reuses them to augment future retrieval. Across three structured data environments, persistent discovery context consistently improves retrieval quality over metadata-only search, remains effective with automatically generated memories, and exposes a reproducible inter
