## Memory System (auto-added by clawdbot-memory-system installer)

### Mandatory Memory Recall
Before answering ANY question about prior work, decisions, or context from previous sessions:
1. Use `memory_search` to find relevant memories
2. Check today's daily log: `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
3. Check yesterday's log if today's is sparse
4. Only say "I don't recall" if memory search returns nothing

### Daily Memory Log
- Write to `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` throughout the session
- Log: decisions made, user preferences discovered, project progress, action items, blockers
- Be specific — future-you needs exact details, not vague summaries
- Include: names, URLs, version numbers, error messages, config values — anything that would be painful to re-discover

### Pre-Compaction Flush
When you sense a session is getting long or receive a compaction warning:
- Write ALL important unsaved context to today's daily log immediately
- Include: what we were working on, where we left off, any pending decisions, partial results
- This is your last chance before amnesia — be thorough, not brief

### Research Intel System
For ongoing research/monitoring projects:
- Store in: `memory/{project}-research-intel.md`
- Current week's detailed intel at TOP of file
- Compressed 1-3 sentence summaries of previous weeks at BOTTOM
- When asked about action items or strategy, check active research intel files first

### Git Backup Habit
End of each session or major milestone:
```bash
cd ~/.clawdbot/workspace && git add -A && git commit -m "session backup: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" && git push
```
This keeps identity, memory, and progress backed up offsite.
