+- **Personal memex pointer in the global summary** —
+  `templates/global-CLAUDE.md` gains a clearly-labeled *personal tooling*
+  section wiring AI agents to the memex MCP memory server (search at the
+  start of substantial work, write at the end), with the guardrail that
+  durable decisions stay in the repo artifacts, not memex (ADR 0022). **Not
+  a methodology change** — `methodology.md` stays tool-agnostic. *Adoption:
+  none — personal wiring; consuming projects copy `project-CLAUDE.md`, not
+  the global summary.*

+## Personal tooling — agent memory (memex)
+
+*Not part of the shared methodology (`methodology.md` stays tool-agnostic);
+this is my personal wiring — drop it if you copy the methodology.* When the
+**memex** MCP server is connected, use it as cross-session working memory:

+- **Starting substantial work:** `mcp__memex__memory_search` (and
+  `memory_get_project`) for relevant prior context before diving in.
+- **Finishing substantial work:** `memory_write` /
+  `memory_summarize_and_store` what's worth recalling later — open threads,
+  gotchas, where things live.
+- **Guardrail — memex is recall, not the record.** Durable decisions, terms,
+  and structure still live in the repo's artifacts (ADRs, glossary, specs,
+  `architecture.md`). memex points at and recalls them; it never becomes a
+  second, un-versioned home for them (single source of truth, ADR 0022).
