 ### Scripts
 
-Scripts can run in one of 3 modes: single-shot, background or repeat.

+Scripts can run in one of 2 modes: single-shot or repeat.
+Their mode and output (stdout and stderr) stay in the context until they are explicitly removed.
 In this way the agent manages what information is available in the context.
 
-#### Single-shot
+#### Single-shot script
 
 The script is executed once.
 This is useful for most operations e.g. writing to or moving a file or downloading content from the internet.
-The next iteration starts after all single shot scripts have finished.
+The next iteration starts after the scripts has finished.
 
-#### Repeat
+#### Repeat script
 
 The script is restarted on each iteration.
 This is useful for monitoring files or the file system.
 commands like `head` and `tail` can be used to limit the data in context.
-Similar to single-shot scripts, the next iteration starts after all repeat scripts have finished.
-
-#### Background
-
-The script is started and keeps running.
-This is useful for waiting for events, a communication channels or a process that requires attention.
-
-Long-running processes e.g. a web server can be run as a service or detached process to keep the context small.
-The output can be redirected to a file and monitored with a repeat script.

 The working memory stores the current state of the system through different types of entries:
-- Script Entries:
-  - SingleShotEntry: Results of one-time script executions
-  - RepeatEntry: Continuously refreshed script outputs
