fidelis-memorylisted

Use when a turn refers to earlier work, a past decision, a named project, or prior context that is not in the transcript — recall it from the local fidelis store before answering, and write the decision back after the turn settles. Also use when asked to check what is already known about something, or to record a durable fact. Requires a running fidelis-server; the plugin's bundled MCP server provides fidelis_orient, fidelis_recall, fidelis_query, and fidelis_health.

# fidelis memory workflow This skill is the procedure for using the `fidelis` MCP tools that ship with this plugin. It does not describe how fidelis is built; see <https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/fidelis> for that. The retrieval path is zero-LLM by default: the server returns stored passages verbatim and never regenerates them. Treat what comes back as a quotation, not as a paraphrase you may polish. ## Before you start Call `fidelis_health` once per session. It is the only cheap way to tell the three failure modes apart: | Result | Meaning | What to do | |---|---|---| | `status: ok \| memories: N` with N > 0 | Store is live and populated | Proceed | | `status: ok \| memories: 0` | Server is up, store is empty | Say so; do not present an empty recall as "nothing was decided" | | `fidelis-server unreachable at …` | No server on the configured port | Stop using these tools and tell the user to run `fidelis init` (or `fidelis server`) | An unreachable server is not an empty memory. Never report the two the same way. ## Recall before answering When the turn leans on something outside the transcript, retrieve first. 1. `fidelis_orient` — the default for a conversational turn. Pass the user's utterance verbatim as `utterance`, plus up to four `recent_turns` when the referent is a pronoun ("that project", "the thing we changed"). It returns an evidence-bound orientation packet or explicitly abstains. **An abstention is an answer**: it means the store has nothi
