+# Dogfooding pmem
+
+This guide covers the self-referential patterns that arise when using pmem to manage pmem's own development memory — and the recommended workflows to keep memory clean.
+
+## The Self-Reference Problem
+
+When a project uses pmem as its own project-memory tool, `.pmem/` files play two roles simultaneously:
+
+1. **Memory**: Cards under `.pmem/` describe the project's modules, decisions, tasks, etc.
+2. **Memory targets**: Some cards reference `.pmem/` files as `source_files` (e.g., a decision card that lists `.pmem/manifest.yml`).
+
+This creates a feedback loop: every `pmem update --confirm` rewrites `.pmem/manifest.yml`, `.pmem/next.md`, `.pmem/state.md`, and `.pmem/index.md`. If any card lists these files in its `source_files` frontmatter, the next `pmem verify` will flag that card as `stale_memory` — even though the change was purely administrative.
+
+## Expected Self-Stale Patterns
+
+After a normal development session using pmem, you may see these expected stale warnings:
+
+| Card | Source file | Why it appears |
+|------|------------|----------------|
+| `decision.dogfood_pmem_for_pmem_development` | `.pmem/manifest.yml` | `update --confirm` rewrites manifest to clear dirty state |
+| `module.*` cards referencing `.pmem/` | `.pmem/state.md`, `.pmem/next.md` | Session management rewrites these files |
+
+**These are false positives** — the memory content hasn't actually changed. As of v0.7.1+, `.pmem/**` paths are excluded from the `stale_memory` check in `pmem verify`, so you should no longer see these warnings during routine development.
+
+## Recommended Cleanup Cadence
+
+### After each coding session
+
+```bash
+pmem verify              # Quick health check
+pmem verify --fix-stale  # Refresh any stale cards (source code changes)
+```
+
+### After a release
+
+```bash
+# 1. Record the milestone
+pmem milestone v0.7.5 -m "Web visualization closeout"
+
+# 2. Refresh all stale cards whose source changes you've reviewed
+pmem verify --fix-stale
+
+# 3. Update memory with the release summary
+pmem sync -s "Released v0.7.5" -n "Plan v0.8.0"
+
+# 4. Verify clean state
+pmem verify
+```
+
+### Weekly maintenance
+
+```bash
+pmem verify --relaxed     # Full check with relaxed token limits
+pmem distill --suggest    # Check if traces should be consolidated
+pmem doctor               # Overall health diagnostic
+```
+
+## Using `--refresh-verified`
+
+When you've reviewed source file changes and want to acknowledge them without creating a new trace for each card:
+
+```bash
+# Refresh specific cards after reviewing their source changes
+pmem update --confirm \
+  -s "Reviewed v0.7.5 changes" \
+  -n "Begin v0.7.6" \
+  --refresh-verified decision.sqlite_runtime,module.cli_runtime
+```
+
+This bumps the `last_verified` timestamp on the specified cards so `pmem verify` knows they've been reviewed.
+
+## Marking Specific Cards Dirty
+
+When you know a specific card needs updating (e.g., you edited its frontmatter directly):
+
+```bash
+# Mark individual cards dirty by ID
+pmem mark-dirty --card module.core --card decision.jwt_tokens -r "Manual frontmatter edit"
+```
+
+This bypasses the git-diff-based `--auto` detection and is useful when you hand-edit `.pmem/` cards directly.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Q: Why do I get stale_memory warnings after every `pmem update --confirm`?
+
+This was a known issue in v0.7.1 and earlier. The fix (excluding `.pmem/**` paths from stale checks) is included in the current version. If you still see these warnings, run `pmem rebuild --full` and try again.
+
+### Q: How do I clear 19 stale_memory warnings after a big release?
+
+```bash
+pmem verify --fix-stale   # One command refreshes all of them
+```
+
+### Q: What's the difference between `--fix` and `--fix-stale`?
+
+- `pmem verify --fix` repairs structural index issues (hash mismatches, missing DB, orphan edges).
+- `pmem verify --fix-stale` does everything `--fix` does, **plus** refreshes `last_verified` timestamps on stale memory cards.

+# pmem-rt — MCP Runtime for AI Agents
+
+pmem-rt is the **read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) adapter** inside pmem. It lets AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client) use pmem as a low-latency project memory backend directly in their tool loop — no shelling out, no token-heavy `pmem recall` printouts every turn.
+
+## What It Provides
+
+`pmem mcp` starts a stdio MCP server with 4 tools:
+
+| Tool | What it does | When to call |
+|------|-------------|--------------|
+| `pmem_recall` | Restore project context: name, stage, focus, next steps, active foundation cards, recent update log | Session start — restore context |
+| `pmem_ask` | 6-step search: exact ID → alias → tag → graph expansion → FTS5 → LIKE fallback | Find specific memory before touching a module |
+| `pmem_related` | Graph neighbors of a card, grouped by edge type with direction/confidence | Understand dependencies before a change |
+| `pmem_status` | Changed files → affected memory cards (git-based or mtime fallback) | After editing code — see what memory needs updating |
+
+All tools are **read-only** — they cannot create, edit, or delete cards. Writes continue through the CLI (`pmem update --confirm`, `pmem sync`, etc.).
+
+## Quick Start (3 Steps)
+
+### Step 1: Install and initialize pmem in your project
+
+```bash
+cd your-project
+npm install pmem-ai
+npx pmem init --guided --description "Your project" --stage "Alpha" --next "Set up CI"
+npx pmem rebuild
+```
+
+This creates `.pmem/` with your project's memory cards and builds the SQLite index.
+
+### Step 2: Configure your AI agent to spawn `pmem mcp`
+
+**Claude Code** — add to `claude.ai/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pmem": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["pmem", "mcp"],
+      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/your-project"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Codex** — add to `~/.codex/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pmem": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["pmem", "mcp"],
+      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/your-project"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Cursor** — add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pmem": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["pmem", "mcp"],
+      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> **Note:** `cwd` must be an absolute path pointing to the root of your project (where `.pmem/` lives). The MCP server serves only that project's memory — one server instance per project.
+
+### Step 3: Agent session workflow
+
+```
+session start → pmem_recall (restore context)
+    ↓
+  "I need to work on auth"
+    ↓
+pmem_ask "auth" (find relevant cards)
+pmem_related module.auth (check dependencies)
+    ↓
+  edit source files
+    ↓
+pmem_status (see which cards are affected)
+    ↓ (back to terminal)
+pmem sync -s "Added token refresh" -n "Write tests"
+    ↓
+session end → pmem verify
+```
+
+The MCP tools give the agent context; the CLI handles writes. This separation keeps the confirmation-first principle intact.
+
+## Safety Model
+
+Every card returned by MCP tools carries `content_trust: "untrusted_project_data"`. Agent frameworks should treat card content as project data, not system instructions.
+
+| Protection | Mechanism |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| **Read-only** | No tool can mutate `.pmem/`, SQLite, or source files |
+| **Path scope** | Server only reads from `cwd/.pmem/` — symlink escape and prefix confusion (`.pmem-evil/`) blocked via `realpath + path.sep` comparison |
+| **No source leaks** | `source_files` returned as paths only, never file contents |
+| **Output budget** | 4000-token cap per tool call; over-cap responses set `truncated: true` |
+| **stdio only** | No HTTP port, no daemon — the server exists only while the agent process is running |
+| **Per-project** | One `.pmem/` per server instance. Cross-project aggregation is not supported |
+
+## Schema Version
+
+Each response includes `schema_version: "0.7.2"` — future MCP tool additions or response shape changes will bump this version so agents can adapt.
+
+## Installing pmem Skills (Optional)
+
+For agents that prefer slash-command-style interaction alongside MCP tools, install the pmem skill globally:
+
+```bash
+npx pmem install --skills --all
+```
+
+This places `pmem` skill files in the agent's skills directory so `/pmem recall` and similar commands are available as shortcuts.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`pmem mcp` exits immediately with no output**
+→ stdout is the MCP channel. Check stderr for diagnostics: `node dist/index.js mcp 2>err.log`
+
+**Agent says "pmem not found"**
+→ Use `npx pmem mcp` with the full npm path. If `pmem` is installed globally (`npm i -g pmem-ai`), the bare `pmem mcp` command should work.
+
+**No `.pmem/pmem.db` found**
+→ Run `pmem rebuild` in your project directory first.
+
+**MCP tools return empty results**
+→ Your project may not have memory cards yet. Create them interactively or via `pmem new <type> <title>`.

+**Available tools**:
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `pmem_recall` | Restore project memory context (stage, focus, next, active cards, updates) |
+| `pmem_ask` | Search memory with 6-step retrieval (ID → alias → tag → graph → FTS5 → LIKE) |
+| `pmem_related` | Query graph neighbors of a card (edges grouped by type with direction/confidence) |
+| `pmem_status` | Detect changed files and affected memory cards (git or mtime) |
+
+All card content carries `content_trust: "untrusted_project_data"`. Tools are read-only. See [docs/pmem-rt.md](../docs/pmem-rt.md) for the full integration guide.
