That’s it.

Verify

Ask Claude:

What memory tools do you have?

You should see 12 tools prefixed with hm_ — hm_store, hm_recall, hm_find_related, hm_get_overview, hm_ingest, hm_list_orphans, and more.

Usage

Store: “Remember that our deadline is March 31st” → triggers hm_store
Recall: “What do you know about deadlines?” → triggers hm_recall
Ingest: Paste a large block of text and ask Claude to ingest it → triggers hm_ingest to decompose it into graph entities in one LLM pass
Timeline: “What did I do last week?” → triggers hm_timeline

Be explicit when you want Claude to use memory. Claude may not call memory tools unless you prompt it to remember, recall, or look something up.
