description: Maintain the Wax memory store used by the Hermes wax-memory provider.

Wax Memory Maintenance

Use when the active Hermes memory provider is `wax-memory`.

Checks

1. Confirm the broker is reachable: `hermes wax-memory doctor` 2. Prefer `wax_recall` for assembled context and `wax_search` for raw hits 3. Store durable facts with `wax_remember` and `memory_type` from `note`, `user_preference`, `decision`, `lesson`, `handoff`, `constraint`, `fact`; `task_state` is session-local working state and requires an active session 4. Write session continuity with `wax_handoff`; do not dump raw transcripts 5. Use structured tools (`wax_entity_upsert`, `wax_fact_assert`, `wax_facts_query`) only for stable knowledge-graph facts

Recovery

• If recall is empty, run `npx waxmcp --embedder minilm --transport http`
• If vector search is disabled, rebuild both `wax-cli` and `wax-mcp` with MiniLM/Arctic traits
• After `/reset` or `/resume`, rely on the provider session switch — do not invent a new session id
