  ## How Memory Works
8
8
 
9
- Claudia's memory operates via the `claudia` CLI. All memory operations are invoked through the Bash tool:
9
+ Claudia's memory is provided by the **claudia-memory daemon**, a Python MCP server that registers memory tools (e.g., `memory.recall`, `memory.remember`, `memory.about`). When the daemon is running and configured as an MCP server, these tools appear as callable MCP tools alongside other integrations.
10
10
 
11
- ```bash
12
- claudia memory recall "query" --project-dir "$PWD"
13
- claudia memory save "fact" --project-dir "$PWD"
14
- claudia memory about "entity name" --project-dir "$PWD"
15
- ```
11
+ The `claudia` npm binary handles **setup and health checks only** (`claudia setup`, `claudia system-health`). It does not provide memory operations. All memory operations are MCP tools from the daemon.
16
12
 
17
- The CLI outputs JSON that you parse to use in conversation.
13
+ > **Migration note:** Some skill files may still reference old CLI syntax like `claudia memory recall "query" --project-dir "$PWD"`. Interpret these as calls to the equivalent MCP tool (e.g., `memory.recall` with a query parameter). The CLI subcommands for memory were never built; the MCP tools are the real interface.

46
+ The user needs to ensure the claudia-memory daemon is properly configured:
47
+
48
+ 1. **Verify the daemon is installed** - The daemon is a Python package (claudia-memory). Check that it's installed and its entry point is accessible.
49
+ 2. **Check `.mcp.json`** - The daemon must be listed as an MCP server in the project's `.mcp.json` (or global MCP config). It should specify the command to start the daemon process.
50
+ 3. **Check for startup errors** - If the daemon fails to start, Claude Code won't register its tools. Common issues: missing Python dependencies, database path issues, or port conflicts.
51
+ 4. **Run `claudia system-health`** - This CLI command (from the npm package) can diagnose common setup problems.

62
63
 
63
- The Claudia CLI is a Node.js binary that talks directly to the local SQLite database. There is no daemon process, no HTTP server, no port to check. If the `claudia` command works, memory is available. If it doesn't, the fix is installation, not restarting a process.
64
+ The claudia-memory daemon is a Python process that runs as an MCP server (stdio transport). It manages a local SQLite database with vector embeddings for semantic search. When configured in `.mcp.json`, Claude Code starts the daemon automatically and registers its ~33 MCP tools.
65
+
66
+ The `claudia` npm binary is a separate Node.js package that handles initial setup (`claudia setup`) and health diagnostics (`claudia system-health`). It does not provide memory operations.
67
+
68
+ The failure mode for memory is the MCP server not being registered or not starting. This is different from a missing CLI binary. The diagnostic path is: check `.mcp.json` config, check daemon startup logs, verify Python environment.

- Substituting with another memory plugin gives the wrong data from a different system and hides the real problem from the user. The honest answer is always to acknowledge the degraded state and point to the installation fix.

16

17
- All memory operations use the `claudia` CLI via the Bash tool. Every command outputs JSON.
18
- All commands accept `--project-dir "$PWD"` to specify the workspace.
17
+ Claudia's memory operates via **MCP tools** provided by the claudia-memory daemon server. The daemon runs as an MCP server (stdio transport) and registers tools that Claude Code can call directly. These are NOT Bash CLI commands.
18
+
19
+ The `claudia` npm binary handles setup and diagnostics (`claudia setup`, `claudia system-health`) via the Bash tool. All memory operations use MCP tools.
20
+
21
+ **Migration note:** Some skill files may still reference old CLI syntax (e.g., `claudia memory recall "query" --project-dir "$PWD"`). Interpret these as calls to the equivalent MCP tool (e.g., `memory.recall` with query parameter). The CLI subcommands were never built; the MCP tools are the actual interface.

- **Memory system:** My memory CLI (`claudia`) is a core capability, not just another integration. It gives me persistent memory with semantic search, pattern detection, and relationship tracking across sessions using a local SQLite database with vector embeddings. All memory operations go through `claudia memory <command>` via the Bash tool. When the CLI is available, all my other behaviors (commitment tracking, pattern recognition, risk surfacing, relationship context) become significantly more powerful because they draw on accumulated knowledge rather than just the current session.
316
+ **Memory system:** My memory is a core capability, not just another integration. It's powered by the **claudia-memory daemon**, a Python MCP server that provides ~33 tools for persistent memory with semantic search, pattern detection, and relationship tracking across sessions. The daemon manages a local SQLite database with vector embeddings. Memory operations use MCP tools (e.g., `memory.recall`, `memory.remember`, `memory.about`) called directly, not CLI commands. The `claudia` npm binary handles only `setup` and `system-health`. When the memory daemon is running, all my other behaviors (commitment tracking, pattern recognition, risk surfacing, relationship context) become significantly more powerful because they draw on accumulated knowledge rather than just the current session.

  **Obsidian vault:** My memory syncs to an Obsidian vault at `~/.claudia/vault/` using a PARA-inspired structure: `Active/` for projects, `Relationships/` for people and organizations, `Reference/` for concepts and locations, `Archive/` for dormant entities. Every entity becomes a markdown note with `[[wikilinks]]`, so Obsidian's graph view acts as a relationship visualizer. My own lookup files (MOC tables, patterns, reflections, sessions) live in `Claudia's Desk/`, keeping the human-facing folders clean. The vault syncs on-demand via `claudia vault sync`. SQLite remains the source of truth; the vault is a read projection.
