+# Troubleshooting agentmemory skills
+
+Recovery steps for separately installed skills. This document is generated into
+each skill directory so native skill readers can open it without parent traversal.
+
+## "MCP tool not available"
+
+Missing tools can mean a stopped MCP process, a disconnected daemon, or an
+explicitly reduced tool surface. Walk these in order:
+
+1. Identify the host. In Claude Code, inspect `/plugin list` and `/mcp`.
+   In Hermes, inspect the configured memory provider and `mcp_servers` separately.
+   In OpenClaw, validate the host configuration and inspect its MCP servers and
+   native plugins separately. In Pi or OMP, inspect `/agentmemory-status` and the
+   MCP inventory separately; native save/search does not prove the broader tools
+   are connected. Do not run another host's setup commands.
+2. Restart or reload the affected host connection after configuration changes.
+3. Inspect the connected tool inventory. Hermes may namespace MCP tools; invoke
+   the actual advertised names and schemas. A native memory provider is not
+   proof that every MCP tool or shared skill is available.
+4. Check `agentmemory status` and the daemon's `AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS` setting.
+   Codex's bundled bridge lists the daemon's enabled tools. The standalone shim
+   used by other hosts can fall back to seven basic tools with a separate store.
+   Do not claim full daemon functionality based on those seven tools.
+5. If `agentmemory connect codex` and the Codex plugin are both enabled, choose
+   one MCP connection. Check `/hooks` before adding global hook fallbacks.
+
+Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi and OMP connector installations bundle skills; other hosts
+may install them separately. Check the host's skill inventory and open this file
+from the installed skill directory. Test automatic capture with a real turn and
+a recorded observation; tool connectivity alone does not establish lifecycle
+capture.
+
+An outage or timeout is not an empty search result. Report the failure. A write
+may have committed before the response was lost; inspect state before retrying.
+
+## REST fallback
+
+When the MCP tools stay unavailable but the daemon is running, call the REST
+API directly:
+
+1. Set `AGENTMEMORY_URL` to the daemon base URL (default `http://localhost:3111`).
+2. The REST API requires a bearer credential by default. Use the host's explicit
+   `AGENTMEMORY_SECRET`; for loopback URLs only, fall back to the secret in
+   `~/.agentmemory/.env` and then `~/.agentmemory/secret`. Load the value locally
+   without displaying it. Never send a local-file secret to a remote URL.
+   If `AGENTMEMORY_CREDENTIAL_MODE=explicit`, require the explicit host credential
+   and do not read local credential files.
+   Authenticated REST fallback requests require HTTPS for non-loopback
+   URLs; HTTP is allowed for loopback URLs (`localhost`, `127.0.0.0/8`, or `[::1]`).
+   Reject redirects on authenticated requests. Do not print or save the secret.
+
+Endpoint map by skill:
+
+| Skill           | REST call                                                        |

+# Troubleshooting agentmemory skills
+
+Recovery steps for separately installed skills. This document is generated into
+each skill directory so native skill readers can open it without parent traversal.
+
+## "MCP tool not available"
+
+Missing tools can mean a stopped MCP process, a disconnected daemon, or an
+explicitly reduced tool surface. Walk these in order:
+
+1. Identify the host. In Claude Code, inspect `/plugin list` and `/mcp`.
+   In Hermes, inspect the configured memory provider and `mcp_servers` separately.
+   In OpenClaw, validate the host configuration and inspect its MCP servers and
+   native plugins separately. In Pi or OMP, inspect `/agentmemory-status` and the
+   MCP inventory separately; native save/search does not prove the broader tools
+   are connected. Do not run another host's setup commands.
+2. Restart or reload the affected host connection after configuration changes.
+3. Inspect the connected tool inventory. Hermes may namespace MCP tools; invoke
+   the actual advertised names and schemas. A native memory provider is not
+   proof that every MCP tool or shared skill is available.
+4. Check `agentmemory status` and the daemon's `AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS` setting.
+   Codex's bundled bridge lists the daemon's enabled tools. The standalone shim
+   used by other hosts can fall back to seven basic tools with a separate store.
+   Do not claim full daemon functionality based on those seven tools.
+5. If `agentmemory connect codex` and the Codex plugin are both enabled, choose
+   one MCP connection. Check `/hooks` before adding global hook fallbacks.
+
+Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi and OMP connector installations bundle skills; other hosts
+may install them separately. Check the host's skill inventory and open this file
+from the installed skill directory. Test automatic capture with a real turn and
+a recorded observation; tool connectivity alone does not establish lifecycle
+capture.
+
+An outage or timeout is not an empty search result. Report the failure. A write
+may have committed before the response was lost; inspect state before retrying.
+
+## REST fallback
+
+When the MCP tools stay unavailable but the daemon is running, call the REST
+API directly:
+
+1. Set `AGENTMEMORY_URL` to the daemon base URL (default `http://localhost:3111`).
+2. The REST API requires a bearer credential by default. Use the host's explicit
+   `AGENTMEMORY_SECRET`; for loopback URLs only, fall back to the secret in
+   `~/.agentmemory/.env` and then `~/.agentmemory/secret`. Load the value locally
+   without displaying it. Never send a local-file secret to a remote URL.
+   If `AGENTMEMORY_CREDENTIAL_MODE=explicit`, require the explicit host credential
+   and do not read local credential files.
+   Authenticated REST fallback requests require HTTPS for non-loopback
+   URLs; HTTP is allowed for loopback URLs (`localhost`, `127.0.0.0/8`, or `[::1]`).
+   Reject redirects on authenticated requests. Do not print or save the secret.
+
+Endpoint map by skill:
+
+| Skill           | REST call                                                        |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| remember        | `POST /agentmemory/remember`                                     |
+| recall          | `POST /agentmemory/smart-search`                                 |
+| recap           | `GET /agentmemory/sessions` + `POST /agentmemory/smart-search`   |
+| handoff         | `GET /agentmemory/sessions` + `POST /agentmemory/smart-search`   |
+| session-history | `GET /agentmemory/sessions`                                      |
+| commit-context  | `GET /agentmemory/session/by-commit?sha=<sha>`                   |
+| commit-history  | `GET /agentmemory/commits` (URL-encode every query param)       |
+
+The MCP host reads the plugin MCP configuration. Restart the daemon after
+changing its configuration, then restart or reconnect the host MCP process after
+changing its URL or explicit secret. The local bridge reads the credential files
+for each request; it does not inherit other daemon `.env` settings.

 ## Workflow
 
 1. Call `memory_smart_search` with the user's text as `query` and `limit: 10`.
-   Pass `project` when the user scopes to a specific repo.
-2. Group results by session. Records carry a provenance channel (`user`, `agent`,
-   `tool`, `import`, `shared`); when results conflict, prefer `user` over `agent`
-   inference, and flag `shared` records as another teammate's write.
-3. For each observation show its type, title, and narrative.
+   Pass `project` when the user scopes to a specific repo and `agentId` when
+   they request one agent's history.
+   Use `targetLayer: "memory"` for explicitly saved knowledge, or
+   `targetLayer: "observation"` for captured activity. Omit it for mixed search.
+2. Search results are compact. Before quoting full content or describing
+   provenance, call `memory_smart_search` with the selected IDs as a
+   comma-separated `expandIds` string and the same project, agent, and layer
+   filters. If expansion fails or the record is no longer available, report
+   that limitation; a title alone is not the full fact.
+3. Group expanded observations by session and show the returned type, title,
+   and narrative. Include provenance only when the response supplies it.
 4. Lead with the high-signal observations (importance >= 7).
-5. If zero results, suggest 2-3 alternative search terms and stop. Do not guess.
+5. With `memory_recall`, inspect `matched_count`, `excluded_by_budget`, and
+   `content_truncated` before treating an empty or shortened response as absent
+   knowledge. Recover full content with `memory_smart_search` using `expandIds`
+   and the same project, agent, and layer filters. `minimum_budget` reports the
+   estimated budget needed for a minimal preview when the budget is too small.
+6. If there are no matches, suggest 2-3 alternative search terms and stop. Do not guess.
