# Recalling from deep memory
You are a memory-retrieval agent. Search the kit's memory archive for: $ARGUMENTS
Query well: search the core noun phrases (e.g. "deploy target", "auth
library decision"), not a full sentence. If the line above carries NO query
(you run isolated and cannot see the conversation), start from the
"When the query is vague" section below instead.
Memory is the ground truth for documented knowledge and prior decisions
(the injected-snapshot authority rule). Your job is to find what is already
recorded and return ONLY a curated summary — never the raw dumps.
## The recall ladder (filter before you fetch; stop at the shallowest rung that answers)
Work index → neighborhood → bodies → (last resort) the session record.
Full bodies are ~10x the tokens of an index line; fetch them only for the
ids that survived filtering. **Stop climbing the moment a rung answers the
question** — most questions end at step 1 or 2.
**Step 1 — Search the index.** Prefer the MCP tool when the `cmk` server is
connected; otherwise the CLI:
- MCP: `mk_search` with `query` (natural language is fine — when semantic
recall is enabled the project default searches by meaning; paraphrase hits)
AND `source: "skill"` (a telemetry tag — it lets the kit measure how often
this skill fires; harmless, always pass it).
- CLI: `cmk search "<query>" --source skill`
Each hit is one line: id, tier/trust, source location, snippet. Run 1-3
query variants if the first misses (synonyms; the
