Agent issues
Fix boot context, recall hooks, MCP tools, and stale agent memory.
Agent issues are usually local configuration issues, not server memory issues.
What to check
Check:
| Runtime | Important files/settings |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.lore/config.json, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/lore-guidance.md, MCP server, plugin hooks |
| Codex | ~/.lore/config.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.codex/hooks.json, MCP server, plugin enabled state |
| OpenClaw | ~/.lore/config.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json plugin entry and optional baseUrl / apiToken overrides |
| Pi | ~/.lore/config.json, extension symlink under ${PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR:-~/.pi/agent}/extensions/lore, and optional plugin config overrides |
| Hermes | ~/.lore/config.json, plugin symlink, and optional environment fallback |
After changing any of these, restart the runtime. Hooks and MCP config are usually loaded at process start.
If MCP works but recall does not appear, check hook configuration. If recall appears but the agent does not use it, improve local guidance and verify the agent opens recalled nodes before relying on them.
