Reclaw Memory System

Reclaw is an append-only event log that replaces daily memory files. All memory lives in log.jsonl as structured entries. Extraction happens automatically at session end — you don't write to the log directly. Your job is to state information clearly in conversation so the extraction hook captures it.

How Memory Works

1. MEMORY.md is auto-loaded into every session. It has a manual section (goals, preferences) and a generated Reclaw memory snapshot updated nightly.
2. Reclaw session handoff is written into MEMORY.md after each session extraction.
3. memory_search finds entries by keyword, type, subject, or status.
4. memory_get retrieves a specific entry by ID, reads MEMORY.md, or fetches a full session transcript.

Start with what's already in context (steps 1-2). Only call tools when you need something specific.
