 ## Workflow
 
 1. The first time this skill is used in the conversation, start with `get_user_summary`. Do not guess stored facts.
 2. Use `search_graph` when you need something specific the summary does not cover.
 3. **Use retrieved context** as described below.
-4. **Write** with `add_memory` when a durable fact appears. Do not wait for "remember this". Do not save ephemeral chatter.

 5. Writes are LLM-mediated MCP calls only — do not assume every turn is auto-ingested.
 
 If a needed tool is missing or a call fails, say so. Do not invent memories.
