Execution
1. Call `ijfw_memory_recall` with the current task or goal as the query. If no specific query, use the last user message or the project name.
2. Also call `ijfw_metrics` to get tier sizes and last-update timestamps.
3. Present findings grouped by tier:
WORKING MEMORY (hot -- .ijfw/memory/) <N> entries found - <key>: <one-line summary> [<date>] ... PROJECT MEMORY (project-level decisions) - <key>: <one-line summary> [<date>] ... NOTHING RECALLED Clean slate -- no relevant entries found for "<query>". Start a session to begin building memory.
4. After presenting, offer in one line: > `<N> things recalled. Want the full text of any entry? (name it)`
Rules
- Never dump raw file contents. Summarize each entry to one line.
- If memory is empty or the MCP tool is unavailable, check `.ijfw/memory/knowledge.md`
directly -- it is plain markdown.
- Omit tiers with zero matches. Show "Clean slate" only when all tiers are empty.
- Do not fabricate entries. If recall returns nothing, say so clearly.
