What I propose is only a very slightly more formal version of what you describe.

Just to start with: memoryfields are possible to use in a server/client system. That was a key aim and I do already use them over Amazon S3 (though not always).

I started, like you did, with a personal library of prompts. But the issue is that as your library of little pieces of prompts increases a) you get tired of constantly editing them yourself b) you have no easy way to export and share them with others c) it's frustrating that the agent doesn't "automatically" find your little bit of prompt on X even when clearly it is relevant - hence sem search.

I think a lot of people are still using the "personal library of bits of prompt" model. It is ok. But I wanted to propose an minimal, interchangeable standard for sharing them. So the idea of being an institution and having a shared memoryfield: that's something I want as well!

The spec, feedback greatly welcome:
