+- Memory search and auto-recall only return open `type:memory` issues. Closed memory issues are treated as stale.
+- ClawMem automatically injects a small set of relevant memories before each turn using the agent's default repo and the backend recall API. Auto-recall is best-effort and quietly skips injection when backend recall is unavailable.
+- `memory_recall` uses the backend `/api/v3/search/issues` endpoint scoped to the current repo plus `label:"type:memory"`. When backend recall is unavailable, use `memory_list` or `memory_get` to inspect memories explicitly.
 - Durable memories are extracted best-effort during later request-scoped maintenance, not by background subagent work after a request has already ended.
 - The plugin exposes `memory_repos`, `memory_repo_create`, `memory_list`, `memory_get`, `memory_labels`, `memory_recall`, `memory_store`, `memory_update`, and `memory_forget` for mid-session use.
 - Route resolution is now: agent identity supplies credentials, `defaultRepo` is the fallback memory space, and explicit tool calls may override repo per operation.

+   - Auto-recall may already inject useful context from the current agent's `defaultRepo`, but it is only a hint. Do not treat missing auto-recall context as proof that no relevant memory exists.
+   - If the injected context already answers the question, you do not need to immediately call `memory_recall` again.
+   - Auto-recall does not currently fan out across every accessible repo. Shared organization memory, team memory, and project memory outside the current `defaultRepo` will not be recalled automatically.
+   - Before explicit memory work, choose the right repo. If unclear, inspect `memory_repos` and fall back to the agent's `defaultRepo`. If the likely memory lives outside the default repo, use explicit repo selection instead of relying on auto-recall.
+   - Use `memory_recall` when injected context is missing, weak, cross-repo, high-stakes, or when you need an explicit retrieval trace.
+   - Write `memory_recall.query` as a short natural-language intent. Do not paste long code blocks, full logs, tool chatter, or system prompt text unless the exact wording is necessary.
    - When the question spans more than one angle, run more than one recall query across keywords, topics, synonyms, and likely project phrasing.
    - If `memory_recall` is weak or empty and the answer depends on whether a memory exists, cross-check with `memory_list`.
