What To Do
1. Check What's Auto-Loaded
These files load automatically via Claude Code's native mechanisms:
**Via .claude/rules/ (deterministic):**
- .claude/rules/total-recall.md — memory protocol
**Via CLAUDE.local.md (deterministic):**
- CLAUDE.local.md — working memory
2. Check What Exists On Disk
Read and report on what memory files are present:
**Schema:**
- memory/SCHEMA.md — exists?
**Daily Logs:**
- Today's log (memory/daily/[today].md) — exists? Entry count?
- Yesterday's log — exists?
**Registers:**
- List all .md files in memory/registers/ with entry counts
**Archive:**
- List files in memory/archive/

Memory Context — Current Session
─────────────────────────────────
Auto-loaded (deterministic):
.claude/rules/total-recall.md ✓ Protocol rules
CLAUDE.local.md ✓ Working memory ([N] words)
On disk:
memory/SCHEMA.md ✓ Protocol docs
memory/daily/[today].md ✓ [N] entries
memory/daily/[yesterday].md ✓ [N] entries
memory/registers/open-loops.md ✓ [N] active items
Available registers:
people.md [N] entries
projects.md [N] entries
decisions.md [N] entries
preferences.md [N] entries
tech-stack.md [N] entries
Archive: [N] files
Hooks:
SessionStart [configured/not configured]
PreCompact [configured/not configured]
4. Highlight Gaps
If expected files are missing:
Missing:
✗ CLAUDE.local.md — run /recall-init to create
✗ No daily log for today — will be created on first /recall-write
5. Quick Actions
Use /recall-search <query> to pull context from any tier.
Use /recall-status for memory health metrics.

A memory system for Claude Code that remembers what matters and forgets what doesn't.
