Hosts, including Claude Code 2.1.277+, load the brain's `AGENTS.md`; add no `CLAUDE.md` here or in a parent folder, where it would replace `AGENTS.md`, except one holding only `@AGENTS.md` for an older host.

- 1. Find: `bf search "a few subject words"`; any word matches, so put variants in one query (inflections, synonyms, English and French). Quote a phrase; `word*` matches prefixes; `unmatched` names words found nowhere. Narrow with `--scope projects`, `7d`, `2026-09-21..2026-09-25` or an identity.

  1. Verify: `bf read REF` for each ref you rely on, preferring a `#section`; a large note's first page lists them in `outline`. Follow `next_offset` with `--offset`; `bf read REF --rel RELATION` lists every link through one relation. Check `problems` and `stale`: an incomplete or empty result does not prove absence.

  Search and read also cover direct `brains:` references. With several brains, read a result's `uri` (`bf://NAME/...`): a plain ref present in two brains fails.
